The local disposal guide

Will the city
take it?

Haverhill runs its own automated residential collection: one 64-gallon city cart per unit, bagged household trash only inside it, orange overflow bags for the occasional extra, and mandatory single-stream recycling every other week on the same day as the trash. Anything too large for the cart has to be booked, because the city allows one free bulky item a week through its hauler Capitol Waste Services and requires a call at least two business days before the normal collection day. The city's banned list is what pushes most clear-out material onto another route: appliances, air conditioners, televisions, computers, mattresses, box springs, tires, metal, waste oil and yard waste cannot go in the cart, and the Recycling Center at 95 Downing Avenue takes them on Wednesday and Saturday, some free and some priced per item. Massachusetts has required mattresses and box springs to be recycled since November 1, 2022, and Haverhill sends them to that drop-off or to a scheduled UTEC curbside pickup instead of the bulky item route.

Household bulky items

Special rules apply

Haverhill allows one bulky item a week from each eligible household, and that first item is free, but nothing is collected unless it is scheduled with the city hauler at least two business days ahead. Couches, desks, tables, dressers and similar pieces are the named examples, and mattresses and box springs are not part of this route.

City cost & eligibility
From $10 per additional bulky item above the free weekly item, with the published Capitol Waste price list charging 25 dollars for large items and 10 dollars for small items. one bulky item a week is free for each eligible household that schedules it with Capitol Waste at least two business days before its normal trash day.
When & how
Call Capitol Waste Services at 1-844-377-1718 or send the city online bulky item request at least two business days before your normal trash day, then have the item at the curb by 6:00 AM on the collection day. The city works the timing through an example: a Monday trash day means calling by Thursday of the week before, and a Tuesday trash day means calling by Friday.
Get it ready
Keep the item whole and clear of poles, hydrants and other carts so the truck can reach it, and do not leave it out without a booked pickup, because unscheduled pieces are not collected. Anything that will not fit the wheeled cart and is not a scheduled bulky item has to be in an official orange overflow bag, with nothing placed on top of the cart lid. Ask Capitol Waste for the price of anything that is not on the published list.

Get it ready
Keep the piece away from poles, hydrants, mailboxes and carts so the collection arm has room. Do not leave a couch at the curb without a booked pickup, because unscheduled furniture is left where it sits. The Recycling Center turns away couches, dressers and shelving, so a charity that accepts furniture, a private hauler or this scheduled route are the practical options for a reusable piece.

Mattresses and box springs

Special rules apply

Massachusetts has required mattresses and box springs to be recycled under 310 CMR 19.000 since November 1, 2022, so Haverhill runs two routes instead of a trash or bulky collection: a drop-off at the Recycling Center on Downing Avenue and a scheduled curbside pickup through the city's mattress contractor UTEC.

City cost & eligibility
$25 per mattress or box spring dropped at the Haverhill Recycling Center, paid online or at the center, with the city also listing a scheduled UTEC curbside pickup at 38 dollars an item.

When & how
Take the piece to the Recycling Center at 95 Downing Avenue on a Wednesday or Saturday, or book the UTEC curbside pickup online and choose a date. The city says not to set a mattress or box spring out before the pickup is scheduled.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress and box spring out of the trash cart and off the bulky item list, because the city excludes both from that route. Keep the piece dry and reachable from the street, because UTEC will not enter a home or apartment and collects only standard mattresses and box springs, not couches, futons or appliances.

Washers, dryers, refrigerators and other appliances

Special rules apply

Appliances are banned from the trash cart, so Haverhill routes washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, ovens, dishwashers, microwaves and air conditioners to the Recycling Center, where a per-appliance fee applies. Scrap metal dropped at the same site is free, and small kitchen appliances are not on the center's take list.

City cost & eligibility
$15 per appliance at the Recycling Center, with lawn mowers, snow blowers and rototillers charged at the same rate and scrap metal accepted free of charge. Haverhill and Bradford residents during Recycling Center hours, with oil and antifreeze drained from power equipment, and payment online, at the DPW office window on Wednesdays or at the gatehouse on Saturdays.
When & how
Drop appliances at the Recycling Center at 95 Downing Avenue on Wednesday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM or Saturday from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The bulky item price list names no white good while the curbside ban list names appliances, so confirm with the Solid Waste office at 978-420-3817 before booking a fridge or a washer on the Capitol Waste route.
Get it ready
Keep appliances out of the cart and out of the overflow bags, because the city bans them at the curb and leaves them there. Drain the oil and antifreeze from mowers, snow blowers and rototillers before the drop-off, keep the equipment separate from household trash, and ask about small kitchen appliances, which the center refuses while the curbside ban list names appliances generally.

Televisions, monitors and electronics

Special rules apply

Televisions, computer monitors and computers are banned from the trash cart, and the Recycling Center takes them with a fee that depends on the screen type. The same site accepts laptops, desktop computers, printers, scanners, modems, radios and game consoles, and takes fluorescent bulbs, thermostats and rechargeable lithium batteries as universal waste at no charge.

City cost & eligibility
$20 per countertop or wall mounted television or monitor, CRT or flat screen, with console and projection televisions priced at 25 dollars each including any wood or stand. Haverhill and Bradford residents during Recycling Center hours, with payment online, at the DPW office window on Wednesdays or at the gatehouse on Saturdays, where cash is not accepted.
When & how
Bring electronics to the Recycling Center at 95 Downing Avenue on Wednesday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM or Saturday from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and keep the receipt if the fee was paid online so the attendant can see it at the gate.
Get it ready
Keep televisions, monitors and computers out of the cart and out of the overflow bags, because the city leaves banned material at the curb. Bring a computer with its keyboard and mouse if you want them taken with it, and leave small kitchen appliances, paint and aerosol cans, Styrofoam and anything containing hazardous substances out of the load, because the center refuses them.

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise equipment is on the Capitol Waste bulky item price list, so a treadmill, a weight bench or a home gym moves through the scheduled bulky collection. The Recycling Center does not accept equipment or furniture, and exercise equipment is not part of the cart or the overflow bag allowance.

City cost & eligibility
From $10 per additional bulky item above the free weekly item, with exercise equipment named on the Capitol Waste price list and unlisted pieces priced on request. one scheduled bulky item a week is free for each eligible household, and the resident confirms with Capitol Waste whether a specific machine counts as a large or a small item before the pickup.
When & how
Book with Capitol Waste Services at 1-844-377-1718 or through the city request form at least two business days before the normal trash day, and have the equipment at the curb by 6:00 AM on the collection day.
Get it ready
Take a machine apart only as far as the pieces can be carried safely, keep the frame and the weights together in one booked pickup rather than spreading them over several weeks, and keep the load clear of the sidewalk, poles and hydrants. Call Capitol Waste first on 1-844-377-1718 to confirm the item and its price before the appointment.

Leaves, grass, brush and Christmas trees

Special rules apply

Leaves and yard waste are banned from the trash cart except on an approved collection day. Haverhill runs spring and fall curbside leaf and grass collections, keeps a yard waste drop-off open from April to December with an annual sticker, and picks up Christmas trees in January.

City cost & eligibility
The yard waste drop-off requires the city yard waste sticker, which is sold each year, and the trash and recycling pages do not publish the current sticker price, so confirm the price and where to buy it before loading a vehicle. The curbside leaf and grass collection days are part of the municipal service and carry no separate fee.
When & how
The 2026 yard waste pile is open for leaves, grass and brush from April 11 to December 12, Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and closed Sunday. The published curbside leaf and grass collections are April 18 and a second spring date, then November 7 and December 5, and Christmas trees are collected on January 10, 2026.
Get it ready
Leaves and grass may be dropped loose or in biodegradable paper bags, and every bag has to be emptied and taken home. Brush must be under six inches in diameter, and the pile has to stay free of trash and debris so the compost stays clean.

Construction, demolition and remodeling debris

Not on the regular city route

The city accepts no construction, demolition or remodeling material. It is banned from the trash cart, the overflow bag sheet excludes it, the Recycling Center refuses building and demolition material including lumber, toilets, doors and roofing, and the city tells residents to arrange private disposal for a renovation load.

City cost & eligibility
The City of Haverhill publishes no residential route for construction, demolition or remodeling debris and states that the resident disposes of it privately, so a private container or a hauling contractor is the local option and the price is quoted by the company that supplies it.
When & how
There is no municipal schedule for this material. A private container or hauler has to be arranged directly, because the cart, the overflow bags and the Recycling Center all turn a renovation load away.
Get it ready
Keep lumber, drywall, roofing, tile, concrete and demolition material out of the cart and out of the overflow bags, because the city leaves banned material at the curb and the bag sheet excludes construction debris. A clear-out that is ordinary household clutter rather than renovation material still needs a booked bulky item for the first piece and a private arrangement for anything beyond it.

Scrap metal and metal items

Special rules apply

Metal is banned from the trash cart, and the Recycling Center accepts scrap metal free of charge from Haverhill and Bradford residents during its open hours. Appliances and power equipment dropped at the same site are charged per item, and metal fencing, engines and automobile parts cannot go in the cart.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. scrap metal brought by Haverhill and Bradford residents during Recycling Center hours is accepted free of charge, while appliances cost 15 dollars each and lawn mowers, snow blowers and rototillers cost the same, with oil and antifreeze drained first and a 5 dollar fee for an auto battery.
When & how
Bring metal to the Recycling Center at 95 Downing Avenue on Wednesday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM or Saturday from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and keep the load separate from household trash so the attendant can see what is being dropped.
Get it ready
Drain the oil and antifreeze from power equipment, take the propane tank off a grill before it goes as metal, and keep paint, aerosol cans and other hazardous material out of the load, because the center refuses anything containing them. Metal that is part of a whole appliance still follows the per-appliance fee, and metal from a demolition or renovation load is not accepted at all.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Trash only leaves the curb in the city cart or an orange overflow bag

Household trash goes out in the city-issued 64-gallon wheeled cart, bagged, with the lid closed and nothing placed on top of it. Waste that does not fit goes in an official orange overflow bag beside the cart, and the allowance is five overflow bags a week; a household that regularly produces more has to arrange private pickup or rent an extra cart from the city. The bags are for household trash only, so yard waste, recyclables, construction debris and hazardous material do not belong in them, and bags go beside the cart rather than on or inside it.

The banned list is what sends a clear-out to another route

Appliances, air conditioners, televisions, computers, fluorescent light fixtures, waste oil, leaves and yard waste outside an approved collection day, tires, engines, batteries, chain link fence, wood, demolition debris and metals are all banned from the trash cart, and the city leaves those items at the curb when they are put out. They go to the Recycling Center, to a booked bulky pickup or to a household hazardous waste event instead. A move-out pile that exceeds the cart and the overflow bag allowance has to be collected privately.

Set-out windows, cart placement and who is eligible

Nothing goes to the curb before 4:00 PM on the day before collection, everything has to be out by 6:00 AM on the collection day, and empty containers come back off the curb by 11:59 PM that night. Carts need about three feet of clearance from poles, mailboxes, hydrants, trees and parked cars, no more than five feet from the curb edge, with the lid arrows facing the street so the truck arm can service them. Single-family homes through eight-unit buildings are eligible for city collection, with one cart per unit, and a condominium complex already on dumpster service keeps that service.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Haverhill works from the curb first, so most material moves through the cart, an overflow bag or a booked bulky pickup, and the city's own drop-off handles what those routes refuse. The Recycling Center at 95 Downing Avenue, at the rear of the 500 Primrose Street lot, is open year round to Haverhill and Bradford residents on Wednesday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and it takes mattresses and box springs, appliances, televisions and other electronics, scrap metal, tires, auto batteries, universal waste, waste oil on the last Saturday of the month, textiles, plastic film, plastic containers 1 through 7, glass, cans and paper, plus leaves, grass and brush while the yard is open. Scrap metal, textiles, plastic film, universal waste and the monthly waste oil are free, while appliances, electronics, mattresses, tires, batteries and power equipment are priced per item and paid online or at the center. Two materials have no city route at all: furniture, which the center refuses outright, and construction, demolition and remodeling debris, which the city tells residents to dispose of privately.

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 far ahead do I have to book a bulky item pickup in Haverhill?

Call Capitol Waste at 1-844-377-1718 or use the city request form at least two business days before your normal trash day, then have the item curbside by 6:00 AM. The first bulky item each week is free, and a second item in the same week is charged from the published price list, which prices large items at 25 dollars and small items at 10 dollars each.Official guidance

Will Haverhill take a couch that is simply left at the curb?

No. Furniture has to be scheduled with Capitol Waste at 1-844-377-1718 at least two business days before your trash day, and the free bulky item a week is the allowance that covers a couch, a dresser or a desk. The Recycling Center does not accept furniture, so an unscheduled couch has no city route.Official guidance

Can a mattress go out with the bulky item pickup in Haverhill?

No. The city excludes mattresses and box springs from the bulky route and from the trash cart, and sends them to the Recycling Center or to a scheduled UTEC pickup. Both routes charge per piece, so a mattress and a box spring together are charged twice.Official guidance

Is there a fee to drop off a washer or a refrigerator in Haverhill?

Yes. The Recycling Center charges a per-appliance fee for washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, ovens, microwaves and air conditioners, and the same rate applies to lawn mowers, snow blowers and rototillers once the oil and antifreeze are drained. Scrap metal is accepted there free of charge, and payment can be made online or at the center.Official guidance

What does Haverhill charge to recycle a television?

The Recycling Center charges 20 dollars for a countertop or wall mounted television or monitor, whether CRT or flat screen, and 25 dollars for a console or projection set including any wood or stand. Laptops, desktop computers, printers, scanners, radios and game consoles are accepted at the same site, and payment can be made online or at the center.Official guidance

What does the city charge for a bulky item pickup in Haverhill?

The first bulky item each week is free when a household schedules it with Capitol Waste at 1-844-377-1718 at least two business days ahead, and further items in the same week are charged from the published price list at 25 dollars for large items and 10 dollars for small items. Mattresses, box springs, televisions, appliances and construction material sit outside that program and carry their own charges, such as 25 dollars per mattress at the Recycling Center drop-off or 38 dollars an item on the UTEC curbside pickup. Dropcurb prices a pickup separately and shows the total at checkout.Official guidance

Who do I call if Haverhill misses my trash or recycling?

Report a missed collection to the city hauler Capitol Waste at 1-866-569-1718, or dial 311 inside the city and 978-358-1311 from outside it. Trash and recycling have to be at the curb by 6:00 AM on the collection day, containers come back off the curb by 11:59 PM that day, and the Solid Waste and Recycling Department at 978-420-3817 answers questions about the program.Official guidance

Where does Haverhill take paint, chemicals and other household hazardous waste?

The city runs two household hazardous waste drop-offs a year for residents with proof of residency, on Saturday, March 21 and Saturday, October 10, 2026, at the Wastewater Treatment Plant at 40 South Porter Street from 9:00 AM until noon, with a limit of 25 gallons of liquid chemicals and 25 pounds of dry chemicals. Dried latex paint and empty cans can go in the regular trash, while oil-based paint, propane tanks, tires, auto batteries and televisions are not accepted at the event and go to the Recycling Center or another drop-off instead.Official guidance

Can a reusable sofa, appliance or mattress go to the city instead of the trash?

The Recycling Center takes clothing and textiles free of charge, and the Big Brother Big Sister Foundation collects textiles at the curb free of charge on request at 508-466-4590, but the center refuses furniture, couches, dressers, shelving and small kitchen appliances. UTEC is not accepting donated mattresses, so a reusable piece needs a charity that accepts it, a booked bulky pickup for a sofa, or an appliance drop-off at the center for a fee.Official guidance
