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.

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.
A couch, sofa, upholstered chair, dresser, desk or entertainment center moves through the same scheduled bulky item route, because the city drop-off refuses furniture of every kind. The one-item-a-week allowance covers these pieces, and a futon is listed with or without its mattress.
City cost & eligibility
From $10 per additional furniture piece above the free weekly bulky item, with the published price list charging 25 dollars for large pieces such as sofas, dressers and entertainment centers and 10 dollars for small pieces. one scheduled bulky item a week is free for each eligible household, extra pieces in the same week are charged, and a piece that is not on the price list has to be quoted by calling Capitol Waste first.
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 set the piece at the curb by 6:00 AM on the collection day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Haverhill.
How much does bulk junk removal cost in Haverhill?+
A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Can you pick up bags of junk today?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
Do I count every object inside a bag or box?+
No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.
Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?+
Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.
Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?+
Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
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 treadmill go out with the trash in Haverhill?+
No. Exercise equipment is on the scheduled bulky item price list rather than in the trash cart, so it needs a call to Capitol Waste at 1-844-377-1718 at least two business days ahead. The first bulky item each week is free and any further item is charged from the published list, so confirm whether a large machine counts as your free item or as an extra one.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
