You do not need a whole house of junk. Select the bags, boxes and larger items you actually have. Your combined price is shown online.
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.

An item that will not fit a blue bag and weighs over twenty pounds needs a purchased bulky waste sticker and a booking with the hauler, and electronics and appliances are excluded from that route.
City cost & eligibility
$15 per bulky waste sticker covering one item, before the hauler's collection is booked. Shrewsbury residents in the pay-as-you-throw programme, with the sticker number supplied when the pickup is booked with Casella on 508-869-4077; electronics and appliances are excluded and mattresses cannot use this route at all.
When & how
Buy a bulky waste sticker at a listed store or through the town service request portal, then call Casella on 508-869-4077 with the sticker number to book the pickup and set the item out on the collection day.
Get it ready
One item per sticker, nothing over the bag weight or size rules, and keep electronics, appliances and mattresses out of this route because they have their own arrangements. Recommended practice for rubbish bags in general is a lidded bin so animals cannot get in.
Shrewsbury households pay for rubbish by the bag. Official blue pay-as-you-throw bags are sold at listed local retailers, priced as of July 13, 2026 at 1.44 for a small bag or 7.20 per roll of five and 2.92 for a large bag or 14.60 per roll of five. Bags should sit inside a lidded bin to keep animals out, must be able to close with nothing sticking out, may weigh no more than 20 pounds, and go to the kerb by 7:00 A.M. on the scheduled collection day. Items banned from landfill disposal by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection cannot go in the bag at all.
An item that will not fit a blue bag and weighs over 20 pounds, such as a sofa, desk, recliner, toilet or dresser, is a bulky item. It needs a 15 dollar bulky waste sticker, sold at listed stores or through the town service request portal, and a booking with Casella on 508-869-4077 using the sticker number, with one item collected per sticker. Electronics and appliances are excluded from that route and go through the hauler's white goods schedule instead, where electronic waste and non-freon appliances are charged one rate per item and freon appliances a higher rate, paid by credit card when the pickup is booked on the bi-weekly Monday route. Mattresses and box springs must be recycled and cannot use a bulk sticker: the town drop-off at 211 South Street is booked on 508-841-8591 at 55 per item payable by cash or cheque with the bedding kept dry, and the curbside alternatives are Casella at 77.18 or Green Team Junk Removal at 75 per item.
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.
