You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard and containers
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Furniture and other larger items
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Peabody takes household junk two ways: the one bulky item a week that the city's published trash notice allows at the curb with the regular collection, and a Resident Dump Day, where a voucher buys a slot for resident-hauled household trash within a yearly weight cap.
City cost & eligibility
Peabody publishes no current bulky item price. The trash notice linked from the Department of Public Services page allows one bulk item a week at no charge and with no sticker, so confirm the load with Public Services at 978-536-0600 before set-out, and note that any weight over the Resident Dump Day cap is paid to Republic Services by credit card.
When & how
The weekly bulky item goes out with the regular trash and recycling collection on the household's service day. Resident Dump Days run on six 2026 Saturdays, April 25, May 30, June 27, September 26, October 31 and November 21, in a 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. or 9:00 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. slot.
Get it ready
Keep the weekly pile to one bulky item, and for a dump day bring the load yourself, in a vehicle other than a dump truck, and unload it into the dumpster, because residents do the unloading. Mattresses, box springs, yard waste, hazardous material, any container holding liquid, tires, appliances, televisions, electronics, concrete, asphalt, bricks and stones stay out of a dump day load.
A dump day needs a voucher picked up before the Thursday deadline
Vouchers are monthly, expire on the residents' day for that month, are issued first come first served up to 100 per time slot, and carry no cost. The last day to pick one up or reserve one by phone is 2:30 p.m. on the Thursday before the event, no vouchers are issued on the Friday before, and proof of residency is required at the gate, where residents unload their own material into a dumpster.
The dump day household cap is 1,500 pounds for the fiscal year
The flyer caps a household at 1,500 pounds per fiscal year, measured per household rather than per property, with the printed window running from July 1 to June 30. A household over the cap is still allowed to dump, but pays the extra weight to Republic Services by credit card only, so confirm the current fiscal-year window with Public Services before loading a heavy vehicle.
A holiday pushes collection back one day for the rest of the week
When a 2026 holiday falls on a collection day, trash and recycling are delayed by one day for the remainder of that week, and the city buildings close. The 2026 list includes New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents Day, Patriots Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, while Saturday July 4 is listed with no delay.
Keep recycling loose and keep the excluded material out
Rinse containers and put them loose in the recycling barrel rather than inside plastic bags, and put paper and cardboard in a paper bag or a box. No plastic bags, no styrofoam, no hazardous items such as paint, aerosol, gas, oil or extinguishers, no broken glass, dishes, Pyrex, ceramics or window glass, and no fluorescent bulbs, televisions, monitors or electronics.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Peabody.
How much does bulk junk removal cost in Peabody?+
A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Can you pick up bags of junk today?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
Do I count every object inside a bag or box?+
No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.
Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?+
Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.
Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?+
Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
What are the two ways to clear junk in Peabody?+
One bulky item a week can go out with the regular trash and recycling under the city's published trash notice, with no sticker. Anything bigger needs a Resident Dump Day: a voucher, proof of residency, your own vehicle and your own unloading, on one of the six 2026 Saturdays, within the yearly household weight cap.Official guidance
Who runs trash collection in Peabody?+
The City of Peabody Department of Public Services runs the program from 50 Farm Avenue and holds the collection contract, and the hauling is Republic Services, whose site now carries the JRM Hauling and Recycling name that the city's older trash notice still uses. Residents call Republic Services at (781) 289-0500 for a white goods pickup and reach the city at 978-536-0600 for vouchers, mattresses and questions about what the city routes will take.Official guidance
What does Peabody charge for trash service?+
A yearly household trash fee started on July 1, 2026 and appears on the quarterly water and sewer bill, with a discount available for residents aged 65 and older, veterans, hardship cases and households with an active composting contract. Multi-family homes pay per unit, and the fee does not apply to condominiums or buildings with five or more apartments.Official guidance
How does a Peabody household dispose of a mattress now?+
With a sticker for each item and a trip to the Peabody Recycling Center at 50 Farm Avenue, because mattresses and box springs left curbside collection when Massachusetts banned their disposal on November 1, 2022. A mattress and a box spring are separate sticker items, and stickers come from the Department of Public Services, the City Clerk, any city library or the city payment center.Official guidance
How do Peabody Resident Dump Days work?+
Six Saturdays in 2026, with a free voucher and proof of residency, in a 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. or 9:00 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. slot at the Republic Services Transfer Station on Forest Street. Vouchers are limited to 100 per slot and must be picked up or reserved by 2:30 p.m. on the Thursday before, the household is capped at 1,500 pounds for the fiscal year, and residents unload their own material.Official guidance
