One dresser or a few pieces from different rooms, gone from the curb. Choose what goes, see the exact total and book by 2pm for same-day pickup. You don’t need to be home.
The desk you no longer use. The dresser that doesn’t fit the new layout. The chairs left over after a move. Choose the pieces you’re done with and give them a pickup day, without arranging a quote visit.
Different pieces. One clear total.

Ready to have them gone?
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, or choose a future date at checkout. You arrange the move outside before pickup.
Know when they’ve been collected.
Get a text when your hauler is on the way and photos when the pickup is done. With everything outside and accessible, you don’t need to stay home.
You don’t need to guess how much space your furniture fills in a truck. Match each piece to the catalog, then add its quantity. Your total updates as you go.
Tables and chairs
Choose the table, then add each chair separately. Coffee tables, side tables and dining tables have their own options. A large or substantially heavy table has a different choice.
Dressers and mirrors
Match the dresser’s overall size. Add a separate dresser mirror as its own item if it is leaving too. Empty drawers and keep the belongings you want before moving the dresser outside.
Desks and bookshelves
Choose by construction, not height alone. A basic desk is different from a heavy desk with a substantial body. A tall, lightweight bookcase can still be a standard bookshelf. Empty it first.

Bulky items are scheduled and paid through the hauler and collected on the recycling day, with furniture, bedding and area rugs all eligible.
City cost & eligibility
$15 for the published cost for a bulky item collection, which the resident pays directly to the hauler when scheduling the pickup. Eligible Medford residents who contact Waste Management on 800-972-4545 to schedule and pay for the collection. A bulky item is a household item that cannot be recycled and will not fit in the trash cart, and the pickup happens on the recycling day.
When & how
Scheduled with the hauler rather than collected on the regular route, and performed on the recycling day for the address.
Get it ready
The bulky categories are furniture such as sofas, metal and wooden chairs, desks, tables, bookcases and entertainment centers, bedding such as foot and head boards, dressers and mirrors with the mirrors taped to prevent breakage, and area rugs rolled and tied with twine or duct tape. Wall to wall rugs are not accepted, and nothing goes to the sidewalk before the late afternoon of the day before pickup.
Bulky items and metals are two different hauler routes
A sofa, a desk or an area rug goes through the bulky item collection at the published per item charge, while a white good, appliance, metal item, lawn mower, snow blower or piece of exercise equipment goes through the metals route at its own per item rate, and a television or monitor at a higher rate again. Both are scheduled and paid through the hauler, and the metals and electronics pickups happen only on Tuesdays.
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.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Medford.
How much does furniture removal cost in Medford?+
Choose the type and size of each piece to see its price. For example, a medium dresser is $79 as the first item or $29 as an additional item. Your total starts with the highest first-item price in your selection, then uses the additional-item price for every other item. Review the complete total and any applicable tax before payment.
Can I get same-day furniture pickup in Medford?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup and choose from the dates shown at checkout. Arrange to have the furniture outside according to your confirmation. You receive a text when your hauler is on the way and photos after collection.
Will you remove furniture from inside my apartment?+
Dropcurb starts outside. You arrange indoor carrying, including any interior stairs or elevator trip. We load and take away the furniture from an accessible outdoor location. Check your building’s rules and plan the route out before booking.
Can you take several different furniture items in one pickup?+
Yes. Add each piece and its quantity to one booking. A dining table and four chairs are five items; a separate mirror is not included with a dresser. You can mix eligible items from different rooms and review their combined total before paying.
Do I need to take furniture apart before pickup?+
You arrange any disassembly needed to move the furniture out of your home and into an accessible outdoor pickup spot. Dropcurb does not provide indoor disassembly or carrying. If you are unsure which catalog choice matches a dismantled or unusual piece, send a photo and ask before booking.
How do I book a bulky item pickup?+
Contact Waste Management on 800-972-4545, schedule the item and pay the published per item cost to the hauler, then follow the instructions given. The pickup happens on the recycling day for the address, and the City does not invoice for this service itself.Official guidance
What counts as a bulky item?+
Household items that cannot be recycled and will not fit in the trash cart, such as sofas, metal and wooden chairs, desks, tables, bookcases, entertainment centers, foot and head boards, dressers and mirrors, and area rugs that are rolled and tied. Wall to wall rugs are refused, and building or demolition material is not part of the program at all.Official guidance
Who collects the waste in Medford?+
Waste Management, under the city contract, with the City setting the rules. Curbside trash and single stream recycling come on the same day, bulky items and the metals and electronics routes are scheduled and paid through the hauler, and the department of public works on 781-393-2417 handles City questions and the City Hall drop off.Official guidance
How do I find my collection day and bin schedule?+
Follow the City calendar and the blue or green bin schedule for the address, which sets the weeks for recycling and the collection day. Recyclables go out on the same day as trash, both by 7:00 a.m., and nothing is placed at the sidewalk before the late afternoon or evening of the day before pickup.Official guidance
Where do batteries go?+
Nickel cadmium rechargeable batteries and cell phones can be recycled at City Hall Room 304 through the department of public works, and button cell batteries and mercury bearing devices go to the same office. Batteries are excluded from the curbside recycling bin.Official guidance
Can clothing and textiles be recycled?+
Yes, through a City partnership that collects unwanted clothing and textiles, with a three bag minimum for a pickup to keep routes efficient. Bagged textiles can also be dropped at collection bins at Medford public schools, including Curtis Tufts, McGlynn and Missituk, and those donations generate funding for each school's parent teacher organization.Official guidance
What is the cheapest way to clear a large item?+
Donation first, since the City lists Vietnam Veterans of America and the Salvation Army for usable items and asks residents to consider donating before scheduling a pickup. After that the cost depends on the item: the bulky furniture rate is the lowest published charge, white goods, metal items and exercise equipment are higher, and a television or monitor is higher again.Official guidance
