City collection Household furniture is bulky material, so a couch goes out during a heavy trash week inside the three item allowance at no additional cost, with anything beyond the three scheduled and paid for in advance. No charge. Three items per property at no additional cost in each heavy trash week, spring and fall, with extra items paid and scheduled through Priority Waste.
City collection The city's heavy trash rules name bulky waste and appliances with the paid extra item route, but they do not name a mattress or a box spring, so bedding has to be confirmed with Priority before it goes out even though it looks like the same kind of load. Neither the heavy trash page nor the fee ordinance names a mattress or publishes a mattress charge, so call Priority at 855-927-8365 or 586-228-1200 and confirm whether the unit counts inside the three item allowance or has to be paid for as an additional item.
City collection Appliances are named in the city's heavy trash rules: the paid extra item route applies to bulky waste and appliances, so a unit goes out during a heavy trash week inside the three item allowance or, beyond that, through the paid and scheduled collection. No charge. Inside the three item allowance at no additional cost in each of the spring and fall heavy trash weeks. Extra appliances are paid for and scheduled with Priority Waste at least 48 hours ahead.
City collection Lawrence collects bulky material during two heavy trash weeks a year, the first full week of May and the first full week of October, and each property may place three items at the curb in the spring and three more in the fall at no additional cost. Anything beyond that is paid for and scheduled at least 48 hours before it goes out. No charge. Three items per property at no additional cost in each of the spring and fall heavy trash weeks, matching the city ordinance that lets households dispose of up to three bulky items without additional charge during the Board of Works cleaning events. Additional items are paid and scheduled with Priority Waste.
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.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Lawrence runs its residential collection through a contract with Priority Waste and charges a published sanitation fee, and its big item route is two heavy trash weeks a year rather than an open ended allowance. The first full week of May and the first full week of October are the heavy trash weeks, and each property may put three items at the curb in both the spring and the fall at no additional cost. Anything beyond the three goes out only after it is paid for and scheduled at least 48 hours ahead with Priority, at the published per item rate, and appliances are named in that extra item rule. The published exclusions cover building refuse, construction debris, bricks and concrete blocks, and staff will walk through other exclusions when a collection is booked. Everything else is a curbside question rather than a drop-off one: the city publishes a monthly base sanitation fee with a monthly senior discount for one and two person households where someone is 65 or older, sells overage tags for bags and boxes that will not fit the container, and charges a monthly fee for an extra container up to a two container ceiling. The amounts are listed in the published fee schedule and in the charge records here.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Three items per property at no additional cost in each of the spring and fall heavy trash weeks, matching the city ordinance that lets households dispose of up to three bulky items without additional charge during the Board of Works cleaning events. Additional items are paid and scheduled with Priority Waste.
When & how
Put the items out during the published week, the first full week in May or October, and call Priority at 855-927-8365 or 586-228-1200 at least 48 hours ahead to pay for and schedule anything beyond the three.
Get it ready
Keep building refuse, construction debris, bricks and concrete blocks out of the pile because the city excludes them, and ask Priority about anything unusual when the collection is arranged since the city says the exclusion list is not limited to the printed examples.
Household furniture is bulky material, so a couch goes out during a heavy trash week inside the three item allowance at no additional cost, with anything beyond the three scheduled and paid for in advance.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Three items per property at no additional cost in each heavy trash week, spring and fall, with extra items paid and scheduled through Priority Waste.
When & how
Set the piece out during the published heavy trash week, or call Priority at 855-927-8365 or 586-228-1200 at least 48 hours ahead to arrange a paid collection outside the allowance.
Get it ready
Count the piece against the three item allowance, keep building refuse and construction debris out of the pile, and keep the curb clear for the collection crew.
The city's heavy trash rules name bulky waste and appliances with the paid extra item route, but they do not name a mattress or a box spring, so bedding has to be confirmed with Priority before it goes out even though it looks like the same kind of load.
City cost & eligibility
Neither the heavy trash page nor the fee ordinance names a mattress or publishes a mattress charge, so call Priority at 855-927-8365 or 586-228-1200 and confirm whether the unit counts inside the three item allowance or has to be paid for as an additional item.
When & how
Call Priority to confirm the unit, then set it out during the published heavy trash week if it counts inside the allowance, or schedule and pay for it at least 48 hours ahead if it does not.
Get it ready
Keep the unit out of the trash and recycling carts, and ask at the same time about a box spring, since the city names neither.
Appliances are named in the city's heavy trash rules: the paid extra item route applies to bulky waste and appliances, so a unit goes out during a heavy trash week inside the three item allowance or, beyond that, through the paid and scheduled collection.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Inside the three item allowance at no additional cost in each of the spring and fall heavy trash weeks. Extra appliances are paid for and scheduled with Priority Waste at least 48 hours ahead.
When & how
Set the appliance out during the published heavy trash week, or call Priority at 855-927-8365 or 586-228-1200 at least 48 hours ahead to schedule and pay for anything beyond the allowance.
Get it ready
Keep the unit out of the trash and recycling carts, and mention the appliance type when the collection is arranged so the hauler can plan for it.
Electronics are not named in the city's heavy trash rules or on its recycling page, so a television or computer has to be confirmed with Priority before it is set out rather than assumed to ride the bulky allowance or a recycling cart.
City cost & eligibility
The heavy trash page, the fee ordinance and the recycling page name neither electronics nor a device charge, so call Priority at 855-927-8365 or 586-228-1200 and confirm how a television or computer is handled before it goes out.
When & how
Call Priority to confirm the device, then use whichever route the hauler names rather than putting it in a cart or on the heavy trash pile unchecked.
Get it ready
Keep electronic devices out of the recycling cart because the city lists only bottles, containers, cans, cartons, paper, cardboard and glass, and wipe personal data before any handover.
The city excludes construction material from the curb: building refuse, construction debris, bricks and concrete blocks are listed among the items not permitted for collection, and the city says the list is not limited to those examples. No municipal rate or drop-off covers the load.
City cost & eligibility
Lawrence publishes no construction collection and no city drop-off, and its heavy trash rules exclude building refuse, construction debris, bricks and concrete blocks, so the load has to be arranged privately and the price comes from the hauler or container company.
When & how
Keep project material off the curb and arrange a private container or hauling company, using the Priority numbers only to ask whether a specific item is covered by the printed exclusions.
Get it ready
Separate construction material from household bulky items, keep concrete, bricks and blocks out of the pile entirely, and keep hazardous leftovers out of any load until a receiving facility confirms it takes them.
Exercise equipment is not named in the heavy trash rules or the fee ordinance, so a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed with Priority before it goes to the curb even though it is a bulky household item.
City cost & eligibility
No Lawrence page names exercise equipment or publishes a rate for it, so call Priority at 855-927-8365 or 586-228-1200 and confirm whether the machine counts inside the three item allowance or is charged as an additional item.
When & how
Call Priority to confirm the machine, then set it out during the published heavy trash week if it counts inside the allowance, or pay and schedule it at least 48 hours ahead if it does not.
Get it ready
Describe the machine and its heaviest piece when calling, take it apart as far as it comes apart so two people can handle it, and keep the console or battery pack with any electronic material.
The city publishes no household hazardous waste route, so chemicals are not part of any curbside programme here. The published piece that residents do pay for is the overage tag, sold at the Department of Public Works for bags or boxes that will not fit the container.
City cost & eligibility
No Lawrence page names a household hazardous waste drop-off or event, so confirm with Priority at 855-927-8365 or 586-228-1200 and with the city's Department of Public Works before storing chemicals, while the overage tag price is published for ordinary excess trash.
When & how
Keep paint, solvents, pesticides and pool chemicals out of the carts and off the heavy trash pile, and buy overage tags at the Department of Public Works for bags or boxes that do not fit the container.
Get it ready
Keep chemicals out of every curbside stream, keep containers sealed and upright, and use an overage tag only for ordinary excess trash rather than for hazardous material.
Lawrence collects heavy trash in the first full week of May and the first full week of October, with the 2026 weeks published as May 4 to 8 and October 5 to 9. Each property may place three items at the curb in the spring and three more in the fall at no additional cost, which the city ordinance matches by allowing up to three bulky items during the Board of Works cleaning events. Anything beyond the three is paid for and scheduled with Priority Waste at 855-927-8365 or 586-228-1200 at least 48 hours before it goes out.
The city excludes building refuse, construction debris, bricks and concrete blocks from curbside collection, and it states that the list is not limited to those examples while offering to walk through any other exclusions when a bulky collection is scheduled. That is the reason a project load needs a private container rather than a heavy trash pile, and the reason to call Priority at 855-927-8365 or 586-228-1200 about any item that is hard to classify.
What the sanitation account costs and what an overage tag covers
The base solid waste and recycling fee is a published monthly amount for a household with one trash and one recycling container, and it rises each January 2. A monthly senior discount is available to one and two person households where someone is 65 or older and water use stays at or under 7,500 gallons a month, and those households cannot rent extra containers. An extra container carries a monthly charge with a ceiling of two trash and two recycling containers, a replacement container carries its own published charge, and an overage tag for a bag or box that does not fit the container is bought at the Department of Public Works. Each amount is listed in the published fee schedule and in the charge records here.
Recycling goes into the provided 95 gallon recycling cart and the city lists clean plastic bottles and containers marked 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7, clean food and beverage cans or cartons, paper, clean flattened cardboard and paperboard, and clear or coloured glass bottles. A former cart cannot be used, and an additional container is requested through the city form. Trash that will not fit the container is handled with an overage tag rather than a loose pile, and the city's Department of Public Works at 9001 East 59th Street sells them.
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.
