A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

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.

Bulky items and large household goods

Special rules apply

Fall River publishes one bulky item program with two ways to use it: a scheduled curbside pickup for residents who receive city collection, and a year-round drop-off at the DCM facility on Lewiston Street. The base published price is 12 dollars for one to three items from the furniture, appliance, lawn and garden, and miscellaneous lists, with individual prices for the heavier pieces.

City cost & eligibility
From $12 per scheduled bulky item collection of one to three standard items. Available to residents who receive City curbside collection, with apartment addresses asked to verify eligibility before paying. Individual prices apply instead for some items: 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, a television up to 27 inches 10 dollars each, a television over 27 inches 15 dollars each and a console model television 20 dollars each. Confirm with the Solid Waste Department on 508-324-2584 before paying.
When & how
Buy and schedule the sticker online or through the department, then set the items out only on the scheduled pickup date, or take them to the Lewiston Street facility between 7 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Monday to Friday or 7 a.m. and noon on Saturday.
Get it ready
Attach the sticker the city issues, put the items out only on the scheduled date, remove tires from a bicycle, remove tires, oil and gas from a lawnmower, cut swing set piping to no longer than 6 feet with no concrete attached, and roll, fold and tie carpeting no larger than 9 by 12 feet.

Couches, sofas and household furniture

Accepted with preparation

Furniture has its own published column on the city's bulky item list, covering a chair, table, hutch, loveseat, recliner, sofa, sofa bed, bureau, dresser, desk, futon, headboard, footboard, bookcase, shelving unit and entertainment center at the 12 dollar one to three item price.

City cost & eligibility
$12 per scheduled bulky item collection of one to three standard furniture items. Available to residents who receive City curbside collection, with apartment residents asked to verify eligibility before paying, and the items collected only on the scheduled pickup date with the city sticker attached. Confirm with the Solid Waste Department on 508-324-2584 if the piece is unusual.
When & how
Buy the sticker and schedule the pickup, then set the furniture out on the scheduled date, or drop it at the Lewiston Street facility during its published hours.
Get it ready
Attach the city sticker, keep the piece off the curb until the scheduled date, and keep upholstered furniture out of the automated refuse bin, which takes only what fits in the barrel.

Mattresses and box springs

Accepted with preparation

A mattress and a box spring are both named on the city's furniture list, and both carry their own published price of 50 dollars each rather than the 12 dollar one to three item price.

City cost & eligibility
$50 per mattress, and per box spring when a set goes out together. Available to residents who receive City curbside collection, with apartment residents asked to verify eligibility before paying. The city lists the mattress and box spring price separately from the 12 dollar one to three item price, so a set costs the published price twice. Confirm with the Solid Waste Department on 508-324-2584.
When & how
Buy the sticker, schedule the pickup and set the units out on the scheduled date, or take them to the Lewiston Street facility between 7 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Monday to Friday or 7 a.m. and noon on Saturday.
Get it ready
Wrap or bag the unit so it stays dry, attach the sticker, keep the mattress and box spring together as the set that was scheduled, and keep them out of the automated refuse barrel.

Appliances and white goods

Accepted with preparation

The city's appliance column covers a dishwasher, dryer, washer, hot water tank, cooking stove and space heater at the 12 dollar one to three item price, while a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner is priced individually at 13 dollars each and a microwave at 8 dollars each. Commercial and display freezers are refused.

City cost & eligibility
$12 per scheduled bulky item collection of one to three standard appliances. Available to residents who receive City curbside collection, with apartment residents asked to verify eligibility before paying. A refrigerator or freezer is 13 dollars each, an air conditioner is 13 dollars each and a microwave is 8 dollars each instead of the standard price, and a commercial or display freezer is not accepted at all. Confirm with the Solid Waste Department on 508-324-2584.
When & how
Buy the sticker, schedule the pickup and set the appliance out on the scheduled date, or take it to the Lewiston Street facility during its published hours.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and secure the doors before it leaves the house, and ask the department how a cooling appliance should be prepared, because the published list prices a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner without describing refrigerant handling.

Televisions, computers and electronics

Accepted with preparation

Screens go through the bulky program rather than a separate e-waste route, and each type has its own published price: a computer monitor is 10 dollars, a television up to 27 inches is 10 dollars, a television over 27 inches is 15 dollars and a console model television is 20 dollars.

City cost & eligibility
$10 per computer monitor or television up to 27 inches, with larger screens priced higher. Available to residents who receive City curbside collection, with apartment residents asked to verify eligibility before paying. The published prices are 10 dollars for a computer monitor and for a television up to 27 inches, 15 dollars for a television over 27 inches and 20 dollars for a console model television. Confirm with the Solid Waste Department on 508-324-2584 for anything outside that list.
When & how
Buy the sticker, schedule the pickup and put the screen out on the scheduled date, or drop it at the Lewiston Street facility between 7 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Monday to Friday or 7 a.m. and noon on Saturday.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before a computer leaves the house, keep the screen out of the automated refuse and recycling bins, and measure a television before paying because the price difference between the 27 inch band and the larger band is published.

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.

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.

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.
