Yard debris removal prices in Peabody

Contractor bag$69 / $20
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Yard waste is a drop-off stream in Peabody rather than a curbside one. The Recycling Center at 50 Farm Avenue takes grass clippings, brush, leaves, bushes, tree branches, small tree stumps and shrubs from residents, and Resident Dump Days refuse yard waste entirely.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Peabody residents with proof of residency dropping yard waste at the Recycling Center at 50 Farm Avenue during its open hours; no sticker applies to the yard waste stream.
When & how
Drop off Monday to Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., or on the same Saturdays as a Resident Dump Day from 7:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Get it ready
Keep stumps and branches to sizes one person can lift and separate brush from leaves so the pile can be handled, since the yard waste drop-off is a self-service stream with resident unloading. Leave yard waste out of the trash barrels, and never put it in a Resident Dump Day load.
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.
