The local disposal guide

Will the city
take it?

Fall River runs its own curbside program with a paid route for large items, and the price list is published rather than hidden. A resident who receives city curbside collection can buy a bulky item sticker and schedule a pickup, or drop the items off year-round at the DCM facility on Lewiston Street. The base price is 12 dollars for one to three items from the furniture, appliance, lawn and garden, and miscellaneous lists, with individual prices where an item is heavier or harder to handle: a mattress or box spring is 50 dollars each, a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner is 13 dollars each, a microwave is 8 dollars each, and screens run from 10 dollars for a computer monitor or a television up to 27 inches to 20 dollars for a console model television. Yard waste runs from April through mid-December with a 15 bag or barrel limit, paint and oil disposal runs from May to October, and the city refuses a specific list of items for both pickup and drop-off.

Televisions, computers and electronics

Accepted with preparation

Construction and renovation debris

Special rules apply

None of the published bulky item lists names construction or renovation material, and the city warns that its list is not a complete account of what it accepts, so a renovation load cannot be assumed collectible and has to be confirmed with the department.

City cost & eligibility
There is no published construction or demolition rate for a Fall River household. The bulky item table prices furniture, appliances, lawn and garden items and miscellaneous household goods, and the notice page states the list is for educational purposes only rather than a complete list of accepted bulky items. Confirm with the Solid Waste Department on 508-324-2584 before a project load goes to the curb.
When & how
Ask the department first. There is no published municipal collection day for construction material.
Get it ready
Keep renovation material out of the refuse and recycling bins, keep it separate from an ordinary bulky item sticker, and do not assume the lawn and garden column covers building material because it covers a bicycle, a lawnmower, a pool and a swing set instead.

Treadmills and exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise equipment is not named in any of the city's bulky item columns, so a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed before a sticker is bought, even though a metal machine reads like furniture.

City cost & eligibility
No published bulky item price names an exercise machine. The standard price is 12 dollars for one to three items from the published lists, and the city states that its list is not a complete account of what it accepts, so call the Solid Waste Department on 508-324-2584 to ask whether the machine can be stickered and at what price.
When & how
Ask the department first, then either schedule the curbside sticker date or take the machine to the Lewiston Street facility during its published hours.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it will come apart, keep the loose parts with it, and keep it off the curb until a sticker has been paid for because items without a paid sticker can attract a litter fine.

Tires and automotive items

Special rules apply

A bare tire is not on the city's accepted bulky item list, and the city requires tires to be removed before a bicycle or a lawnmower will be taken, which makes a tire something to confirm rather than something to sticker.

City cost & eligibility
No published price covers a loose tire. The bulky item table prices a bicycle with the tires removed and a lawnmower with the tires, oil and gas removed, and the refused list names vehicle parts but not tires, so the answer has to come from the Solid Waste Department on 508-324-2584.
When & how
Ask the department before buying a sticker, and keep tires out of the refuse and recycling bins in the meantime.
Get it ready
Take the tires off before setting out a bicycle or lawnmower, drain the oil and fuel from a mower, and keep a loose tire out of any pile that is waiting for a scheduled collection.

Paint, chemicals and sharps

Special rules apply

The city runs a paint and oil disposal service from May to October as part of its own solid waste division, and it handles needles and sharps as a separate published service, but the 2026 paint schedule is published only as an image that could not be read.

City cost & eligibility
The city states that paint and oil disposal runs from May to October as one of its curbside-adjacent services, but it publishes the schedule, locations and any fee only inside an image, and the retained copy of that image could not be downloaded. Confirm the dates, the drop-off site and any charge with the Solid Waste Department on 508-324-2584 before loading paint or oil.
When & how
Paint and oil disposal runs from May to October on published dates, and the schedule for the current year has to be requested from the department rather than assumed.
Get it ready
Keep paint, oil, chemicals and sharps out of the refuse and recycling bins, keep products in their original labelled containers with the labels readable, never mix leftover products together, and ask the department how sharps should be packaged before they are dropped off.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

One bulky program, two ways to use it

Fall River publishes a single bulky item program with a scheduled curbside option and a year-round drop-off. Curbside pickup is only for residents who receive city collection, with apartment addresses asked to verify eligibility before paying, and the items are collected by the city's bulky hauler on a scheduled date with the sticker the city issues attached. The alternative is the DCM facility at 10 Lewiston St., open Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to noon. The base price is 12 dollars for one to three items from the furniture, appliance, lawn and garden, or miscellaneous lists, with individual prices for the heavier pieces, and the city's notice page warns that the published list of accepted items is not complete.

The expensive items are priced one by one

The 12 dollar price covers one to three standard items, and the city publishes the exceptions instead of hiding them. A mattress and a box spring are 50 dollars each. A refrigerator or freezer is 13 dollars each, an air conditioner is 13 dollars each and a microwave is 8 dollars each. Screens run from 10 dollars for a computer monitor or a television up to 27 inches, to 15 dollars for a television over 27 inches and 20 dollars for a console model television. Anything outside the published lists has to be confirmed with the Solid Waste Department on 508-324-2584, because the city says its list is for educational purposes and is not a complete account of what it will accept.

Yard waste, recycling and paint run on their own clocks

Yard waste is collected curbside from April through mid-December and goes in barrels no larger than 35 gallons or 50 pounds, in boxes, or in paper leaf bags, with brush bundled and tied and a limit of 15 bags, boxes or barrels, while the Lewiston Street site takes yard waste year-round on Thursday and Friday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Recycling is part of the same weekly routine as refuse for about 31,000 households: everything acceptable goes in the blue bin on the sidewalk after 4 p.m. the evening before the collection day and by 7 a.m. on the day, and bagged recyclables are treated as trash. Paint and oil disposal runs from May to October as a city service, with the current schedule published as an image, and needles and sharps are handled separately.

City of Fall River Department of Community Maintenance, Solid Waste Division

Buy a sticker and schedule a curbside bulky pickup

A Fall River household that receives city curbside collection and has furniture, an appliance, a mattress or a screen to clear.

Cost & conditions
From $12 per scheduled bulky item collection of one to three standard items. Residents who receive City curbside collection, with apartment addresses asked to verify eligibility before paying. Individual prices apply instead for the heavier items: mattress and box spring 50 dollars each, refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner 13 dollars each, microwave 8 dollars each, computer monitor and television up to 27 inches 10 dollars each, television over 27 inches 15 dollars each and console model television 20 dollars each. Confirm with the Solid Waste Department on 508-324-2584.
Arrange it
Buy and schedule the bulky item ticket, attach the sticker the city issues, and put the items out only on the scheduled pickup date, because unpaid items can attract a litter fine.

Curbside bulky pickup is limited to addresses that receive city collection, the items are collected only on the scheduled date, and the city's list of what it accepts is published as examples rather than a complete list.

Open the city bulky items page

City of Fall River Department of Community Maintenance, Solid Waste Division

Drop the items at the Lewiston Street facility

A household that would rather drive the items over than wait for a scheduled pickup date.

Cost & conditions
The city publishes one bulky item fee table, headed by the 12 dollar price for one to three items and the individual prices for mattresses, refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, microwaves, monitors and televisions, and then describes the sticker that applies to a scheduled curbside collection. It does not publish a separate drop-off rate, so confirm the price for the drop-off with the Solid Waste Department on 508-324-2584.
Arrange it
Take the items to the DCM facility at 10 Lewiston St. between 7 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Monday to Friday or 7 a.m. and noon on Saturday.

The refused list applies to drop-off just as it does to curbside collection: fuel oil tanks, commercial or display freezers, vending machines, vehicle parts, boats, campers and motorcycles or motorized bikes are not accepted.

Use the weekly curbside recycling bin

Any residential property in Fall River with regular trash pickup.

Cost & conditions
The city states that all residential properties with regular trash pickup are in the curbside recycling program and that about 31,000 households are serviced weekly, but the retained pages publish no separate recycling rate. Confirm the current service charge and any cart issue with the Solid Waste Department on 508-324-2584 or with the hauler on 1-855-533-3400.
Arrange it
Put acceptable materials in the blue bin on the sidewalk after 4 p.m. the evening before the collection day and by 7 a.m. on the collection day, which is the same day as refuse.

Recyclables must not be bagged, because the city treats bagged recyclables as trash, and only acceptable materials belong in the bin.

A household with grass, leaves, brush or other yard material during the April to mid-December season.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Fall River keeps its large item program inside the city rather than sending residents to a county site. A household that receives city curbside collection can buy a bulky item ticket and schedule a pickup, or drive the items to the DCM facility at 10 Lewiston St., which is open year-round for bulky items Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to noon, and also takes yard waste on Thursday and Friday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The base price is 12 dollars for one to three items from the published furniture, appliance, lawn and garden, or miscellaneous lists, and the exceptions are priced individually and visibly: 50 dollars each for a mattress or box spring, 13 dollars each for a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner, 8 dollars for a microwave, and 10 to 20 dollars for a computer monitor or television depending on size and type. The refused list is just as explicit, covering fuel oil tanks, commercial and display freezers, vending machines, vehicle parts, boats, campers and motorcycles, and the city warns that its accepted list is not complete. Weekly curbside recycling runs on the same day as refuse with the blue bin out on the sidewalk after 4 p.m. the evening before and by 7 a.m. on the day, bagged recyclables are treated as trash, yard waste runs from April through mid-December with a 15 container limit, and paint and oil disposal runs from May to October with the current schedule published as an image that the city will confirm by phone on 508-324-2584.

Before you book

Your questions.
Straight answers.

Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.

How much does pickup cost?

Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.

Can I book a pickup for today?

Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.

Do my items need to be outside when I book?

You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.

How much does a bulky item pickup cost in Fall River?

The published price is 12 dollars for one to three items from the standard furniture, appliance, lawn and garden, or miscellaneous lists, unless the item carries its own price. Heavier items are priced individually and published: a mattress or box spring is 50 dollars each, a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner 13 dollars each, a microwave 8 dollars each, a computer monitor 10 dollars each, and televisions are 10 dollars up to 27 inches, 15 dollars over 27 inches and 20 dollars for a console model.Official guidance

Will Fall River pick up a couch?

Yes, through the bulky item program. A sofa, loveseat, recliner, sofa bed, chair and similar furniture are all named on the city's published furniture list at 12 dollars for one to three items, collected either on a scheduled curbside date with the city sticker attached or by dropping the piece at the Lewiston Street facility, which takes bulky items year-round.Official guidance

What does it cost to get rid of a mattress in Fall River?

50 dollars each. The city's bulky item fee table lists a mattress at 50 dollars each and a box spring at 50 dollars each, separately from the 12 dollar price for one to three standard items, so a mattress and box spring set costs the published price for each piece. The set can go out on a scheduled curbside date with the city sticker or be dropped at the Lewiston Street facility.Official guidance

How much does the city charge for an appliance?

It depends on the appliance. A dishwasher, dryer, washer, hot water tank, cooking stove or space heater sits in the standard group at 12 dollars for one to three items. A refrigerator or freezer and an air conditioner are 13 dollars each, and a microwave is 8 dollars each. Commercial and display freezers are on the refused list, so they cannot be collected or dropped off at all.Official guidance

What does the city charge to take a television?

The published bulky item prices are 10 dollars for a television up to 27 inches, 15 dollars for a television over 27 inches and 20 dollars for a console model television, with a computer monitor at 10 dollars each. Televisions and monitors are part of the bulky item program, so they are requested with a sticker on a scheduled pickup date or dropped at the Lewiston Street facility.Official guidance

Who collects trash and bulky items in Fall River?

The city's Solid Waste Division, part of the Department of Community Maintenance, runs curbside collection and the bulky item program, and it publishes its own contact details at One Government Center Room 321 on 508-324-2584 and solidwaste@fallriverma.gov. The bulky items page states that curbside bulky collection is done by the city's bulky hauler on a scheduled form, while the contact block lists a separate number for missed trash and recycling pickups and for cart repairs.Official guidance

Can anyone get a curbside bulky pickup?

No. The city states that bulky item pickup is only available to residents who receive City curbside collection and asks residents to verify eligibility before paying, and the notice page repeats that residents in apartment complexes should verify eligibility for curbside collection before requesting a pickup. Households that are not eligible can still use the year-round drop-off at the Lewiston Street facility.Official guidance

What will the city not take?

The refused list covers fuel oil tanks, commercial and display freezers, vending machines, vehicle parts, boats, campers and motorcycles or motorized bikes, and it applies to both curbside collection and drop-off. There are also handling conditions on accepted items: tires must be removed from a bicycle, tires, oil and gas must be removed from a lawnmower, swing set piping must be cut to no longer than 6 feet with no concrete attached, and carpeting must be rolled, folded and tied at no more than 9 by 12 feet.Official guidance

Do I need a sticker for a bulky item?

Yes, for a scheduled curbside collection. The city states that residents with scheduled curbside collections must attach the bulky item sticker issued by the city, that items are only collected on the scheduled pickup date, and that property owners with items that have no paid sticker may be subject to litter fines.Official guidance

How can I pay for a bulky item pickup?

The city page contains two answers, so it is worth checking before paying. It says bulky item tickets can be purchased and scheduled online through the linked program, and in the same section it states that cash and cheque or money order payable to the City of Fall River are the only payment methods accepted. Confirm the accepted method with the Solid Waste Department on 508-324-2584.Official guidance

Do recyclables have to be bagged?

No, and they should not be. The city states that all residential properties with regular trash pickup are part of the curbside program, that acceptable materials go in the blue recycling bins on the sidewalk after 4 p.m. the evening before collection and by 7 a.m. on the collection day, and its published graphics warn that bagging recyclables sends them to the trash.Official guidance

How much yard waste can go out at once?

A limit of 15 bags, boxes or barrels applies to a curbside set-out. Yard waste goes in barrels no larger than 35 gallons or 50 pounds, in boxes, or in paper leaf bags, brush has to be bundled and tied, and the curbside season runs from April through mid-December. The Lewiston Street site takes yard waste year-round on Thursday and Friday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.Official guidance
