The project is done. Get your space back.

The new bathroom is ready, but the old vanity is still outside. A replaced door is taking up space you need. Put those leftover items on a pickup plan, with the price settled and updates through the final haul-away.

Match your item

Construction cleanup starts with the right items.

We currently accept the doors, toilets and bathroom vanities listed here, already detached and ready outside. Choose each item separately. Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted, including in bags.

Doors

Count each detached door panel separately. Have it removed from its hinges before pickup. A whole installed doorway or garage door is not the same item.

Toilets

Choose Toilet for an ordinary household toilet that has already been disconnected, drained and moved outside. Text a photo before booking if yours is broken or has loose sharp pieces.

Bathroom vanities

Choose the small, standard or large bathroom vanity that matches your sink cabinet. A makeup table has a separate choice. Plumbing disconnection and removal from the wall happen before pickup.

Construction and remodeling debris

Special rules apply

Newton keeps construction material out of the bulky item route. The city states that overflow trash and construction materials are not bulky waste, and it publishes a separate construction and demolition list rather than folding a remodel load into the per item collection.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes a separate construction and demolition list rather than a bulky item price for this material, so confirm the load and any charge before it leaves the property. A bulky item booking is not the right route for it.
When & how
There is no bulky item collection day for construction material, so arrange the removal on the project schedule and confirm the receiving route before the work produces the debris.
Get it ready
Keep construction and demolition material out of the blue trash cart and the green recycling cart, and keep it separate from a bulky item pile, because the city states plainly that construction materials are not bulky waste. Cardboard from the work is a different case: flatten it into the green cart or take the excess to the Resource Recovery Center, because cardboard is not bulky waste either.

City of Newton Department of Public Works, Sustainable Materials Management

Book a curbside bulky item pickup

A household with a couch, a dismantled wooden furniture piece, a tied carpet roll or another non-recyclable piece too large for the blue cart.

Cost & conditions
$20 per bulky item on the Newton curbside bulky item collection, where a sectional couch with its cushions counts as one item and a tied roll or bundle of carpet or scrap wood under four feet and fifty pounds counts as one item. Newton households entitled to city collection, paid online in advance, with payment received by 10 p.m. on Sunday arranged for the Thursday of the following week.
Arrange it
Pay online first, then watch for the confirmation email within one to two business days and the reminder on the business day before collection. Put the item at the curb by 7 a.m. on the assigned Thursday, and expect a confirmation after the collection.

The limit is 150 pounds per item, and heavier pieces need privately contracted service. Appliances, metal items, electronics and mattresses are not accepted on this route, cardboard is not bulky waste, and construction material is not bulky waste either. A refund is only issued when a cancellation is processed with a cancellation email by 10 a.m. on the business day before the collection date.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self haul in Newton means the Resource Recovery Center at 115 Rumford Ave in Auburndale, and the price depends on what arrives. Appliances, electronics and metal items are taken there at no cost, except that televisions and monitors carry a per item fee and the proof of payment has to be handed to the attendant at the gate. Mattresses and box springs cost less to drop off than to have collected, and again the receipt quantity has to match the load because each mattress and each box spring counts separately and a split box spring counts twice. The center also runs a seasonal latex paint exchange from May to October, with a locked shed and an attendant who has to approve every drop-off, and usable latex paint means cans less than ten years old that are more than half full, while unusable paint has to be dried out and put in the trash. The summer hours run June 1 to September 27, Tuesday to Friday 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with the site closed Mondays, Sundays, holidays and occasionally when heavy rain floods it, so call customer service on 617-796-1000 for the other months and before setting out after a storm. Household hazardous waste is the one stream that does not have a standing drop-off at all, because the city only takes it at designated collection events and sends a resident who cannot attend to a licensed hazardous waste handler.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Construction debris removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Newton.

How much does construction debris removal cost in Newton?

Pricing is per accepted item. A detached door is $99 as a single item, an ordinary toilet is $79, and a small bathroom vanity is $99. Larger vanities have their own choices. Select the listed items to see the exact combined price. These prices do not cover mixed rubble or loose building materials. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; applicable sales tax appears before payment.

Can I get same-day toilet or vanity pickup in Newton?

Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Arrange disconnection, removal and the move outside first, then have the fixture ready by the time in your confirmation. We text you before arrival and provide pickup photos when it is done.

Will you disconnect a sink or take a door off its hinges?

The fixture must already be detached, disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange plumbing, electrical work, removal from walls or hinges, and indoor carrying before pickup. Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from your outdoor pickup spot.

Can I add bags of drywall, tile or other demolition waste?

Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted. This page offers pickup for the listed doors, toilets and bathroom vanities that are already removed. Do not book loose building materials as household trash bags or as an extra item. Arrange suitable disposal for those materials with your contractor or a debris specialist.

Can a door, toilet and vanity go in the same pickup?

Yes. Add each listed fixture separately and choose the correct vanity size. Each detached door panel counts as one item. The combined price appears before you book. Keep the fixtures together outside, separate from anything staying, and add a location photo on your order page.

Is construction material a bulky item in Newton?

No. The city states that construction materials are not bulky waste, and it publishes a separate construction and demolition list instead. Bulky items are the single non-recyclable pieces too large for the blue trash cart, and overflow trash is excluded from that route as well. Confirm the receiving route before a remodel produces the debris.Official guidance

Who collects trash in Newton?

The Department of Public Works collects it under its Sustainable Materials Management division, with one blue trash cart and one green recycling cart for a household that is entitled to city service. Businesses, institutions and many multi-family properties are not entitled to city collection and have to arrange private service, and a nonprofit can apply for collection for a fee under the city ordinance, limited to four sets of carts per address. Customer service is on 617-796-1000.Official guidance

Which large item route does my piece use?

It depends on the material. A non-recyclable piece too large for the blue cart, such as a couch or a dismantled wooden furniture item, is a bulky item. An appliance, a metal item, an electronic device or a large rigid plastic item is whitegoods, which has its own price and a free drop-off at the Resource Recovery Center apart from televisions and monitors. A mattress or box spring is a third route with its own prices because the state bans its disposal, and construction material is not a bulky item at all.Official guidance
