The city also collects bulky items at the curb, but not as part of the base collection fee. The FAQ states that bulky item and mattress collection were left out of the base fee and that a resident who wants to avoid the fee can use a bulky item day instead, which means a curbside bulky pickup is a booked, chargeable service.
City cost & eligibility
The city states that bulky item collection is not included in the base fee but does not publish the curbside rate, so confirm the charge and the pickup date with the Department of Public Works at (781) 477-7099 or (781) 268-8000 before anything goes to the curb.
When & how
Book the pickup with the Department of Public Works rather than setting the item out on an ordinary collection day, and put it out only for the date the department gives you.
Get it ready
Describe the item when the pickup is booked, keep it clear of the carts so the collection crew can reach it, and remember that paint, mattresses, hazardous materials, construction material, propane tanks and televisions are refused at the free bulky item days and follow their own routes.
Lynn requires an appointment for a mattress or box spring, booked through Tough Stuff Recycling, and the city publishes three prices for the same item depending on how it moves: a per pickup curbside rate through the contractor, a lower drop-off rate at the contractor's own site, and a third rate for dropping the unit at the Department of Public Works.
City cost & eligibility
$65 per mattress for a curbside pickup booked through Tough Stuff Recycling, with a $25 drop-off rate at Tough Stuff Recycling on Authority Drive in Fitchburg and a $35 drop-off rate at the Department of Public Works. A Lynn household booking an appointment for a mattress or box spring. The curbside service requires the appointment, the Department of Public Works drop-off is for Lynn residents with identification, and the drop-off schedule runs Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
When & how
Book the appointment with Tough Stuff Recycling for a curbside pickup, or bring the unit to the Department of Public Works during the weekday drop-off window. Mattresses are no longer accepted at the bulky item days and the city states that all mattresses must be recycled under the Massachusetts DEP rule.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and clean for recycling, and keep it off the street rather than at the curb outside an appointment, because the city requires the appointment and refused mattresses at the bulky item days from November 1, 2022.
Televisions, computer monitors and propane tanks are dropped at 250 Commercial Street during the weekday window, and the city charges for them. Mattress recycling is also available at that address for a published rate, which is one of three prices the city posts for the same mattress. Drop-offs are for Lynn residents only and a driver's licence is required.
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.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lynn.
How much does mattress removal cost in Lynn?+
The price depends on the mattress size you choose. A queen mattress is $99 as the first item and $30 as an additional item. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Add any box spring or frame separately, then review your total and any applicable tax before payment.
Can I book same-day mattress pickup in Lynn?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Have the mattress outside and accessible according to your confirmation. Your booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.
Is my box spring or bed frame included in mattress removal?+
The mattress price covers the mattress only. Add your box spring, bed frame or adjustable base separately if those are going too. Choose the size and type that match each item. The combined price appears before booking.
Will you carry my mattress downstairs or out of my apartment?+
Dropcurb starts outside. You arrange to move the mattress out of your apartment and down interior stairs before pickup. We load it and take it away from an accessible outdoor spot. Check your building’s access rules before arranging the move outside.
Can you pick up my old mattress when my new one arrives?+
You can choose an offered pickup day around your replacement delivery. First check whether the retailer already includes old-mattress removal, and arrange who will bring it outside if needed. Dropcurb books a pickup day, not the retailer’s delivery window. Contact us before booking if access is limited to a short time.
Why does Lynn charge for a bulky item pickup?+
The city states plainly that bulky item and mattress collection were not included in the base fee, in order to keep costs down, and that a resident can avoid the fee by using the bulky item days instead. The curbside pickup is arranged with the Department of Public Works and the amount is confirmed on that call, while the scheduled drop-off days at 247 Commercial Street are free for Lynn residents.Official guidance
How do I get rid of a mattress in Lynn?+
Book an appointment. The city requires an appointment for a mattress or box spring and routes it through Tough Stuff Recycling, which publishes a per pickup curbside rate. A resident can also drop the unit at the Department of Public Works on weekdays for a different published rate, or take it to Tough Stuff Recycling in Fitchburg for a third rate. Mattresses have not been accepted at the bulky item days since November 1, 2022 and the city states that all mattresses must be recycled under the Massachusetts DEP rule.Official guidance
What does Lynn charge for bulky items and mattresses?+
Bulk waste item disposal is free for a Lynn resident on the published Saturday drop-off days at 247 Commercial Street, and the city states plainly that bulky item and mattress collection were left out of the base collection fee, so a curbside pickup booked with the Department of Public Works is a chargeable service with an amount that is confirmed on the call. A mattress has three published prices depending on how it moves: the curbside appointment through Tough Stuff Recycling, a drop-off at Tough Stuff in Fitchburg, and a drop-off at the Department of Public Works. All of those amounts appear in the charge details on this page.Official guidance
