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.

Bulky items are requested through an online City permit with published per item prices, and the permit has to be filed by mid afternoon for a next day pickup.
City cost & eligibility
$25 for the published per item charge for an upper tier bulky item such as a couch or love seat, dresser or bureau, bed frame, bicycle, buffet or hutch, chair or recliner, baby crib, entertainment center, grill with the propane tank removed or table, with a lower senior rate published alongside it. Revere residents submitting a bulky item pickup permit through the City permitting portal and paying online. A lower tier of smaller items carries its own published per item charge and a lower senior rate.
When & how
Requested by permit rather than scheduled by phone, with the deadline for a next day pickup at mid afternoon Monday through Thursday and Friday and Monday pickups applied for by mid afternoon the preceding Thursday. A late application may push the item to the following week.
Get it ready
Match the item to its published tier before applying, because a couch sits at the higher rate while a lamp, a rug up to four feet long, a coffee table or a television stand sits lower. Remove the propane tank from a grill, keep a rug rolled, and leave construction material, antifreeze, gas cans, dirt and aerosol paint out entirely, since the City will not permit those.
A mattress or box spring is no longer eligible for curbside pickup: the City accepts it only as a drop-off at the department of public works yard on the last Saturday of each month from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m., for the published per piece charge.
City cost & eligibility
$75 for the published per piece charge for a mattress or box spring dropped off at the department of public works yard, priced separately from the curbside bulky tiers. Revere residents delivering the piece to the department of public works yard. Mattresses and box springs are not eligible for curbside pickup under the state mattress disposal rule, so there is no permit route for them.
When & how
Take the piece to the department of public works yard on the last Saturday of each month between 7 a.m. and 12 p.m.; it cannot be permitted for curbside collection.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and wrapped so the crew can lift it, and set it out only after the permit is confirmed. Confirm through the permit application that a box spring is a separate item, since each permitted item carries its own charge.
Appliances sit in their own published tier with electronics, and that tier is curbside eligible with a permit, while small household appliances sit in the fee table's Miscellaneous block marked Ineligible for Curbside Pickup.
City cost & eligibility
$30 for the published per item charge for an appliance or electronics tier item such as a refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, dryer, washing machine, microwave, air conditioner or trash compactor, with a lower senior rate published alongside it. Revere residents submitting a bulky item pickup permit under the appliances subtype and paying online.
When & how
Through the permit system with the next day deadlines, and the appliance is collected with the bulky item route rather than the ordinary cart collection.
Get it ready
Empty the unit before it goes out and apply under the appliances subtype so the right price applies. Small household appliances are priced at a much lower published rate than a full size unit, so list them separately, and ask about refrigerant handling when the permit is submitted because the City publishes no degassing step.
Televisions and computers sit in the same published tier as appliances, with mercury devices and batteries accepted free at the public works yard.
City cost & eligibility
$30 for the published per item charge for a television, computer or appliance on the City bulky item pickup list, with a lower senior rate published alongside it. Revere residents submitting a bulky item pickup permit and paying online. Batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, mercury thermometers and thermostats, nickel cadmium batteries and waste oil are accepted at the department of public works yard at no charge instead.
When & how
Through the permit system with the same next day deadlines as other bulky items, or by taking the smaller mercury and battery items to the public works yard on Charger Street.
Get it ready
Apply under the appliances subtype for a television or a computer, keep the device out of the recycling cart and out of the blue trash cart, and erase personal data before it leaves the house. Batteries, fluorescent bulbs and mercury devices go to the public works yard at no charge rather than into the permit program.
Construction items and debris cannot be permitted at all, though a toilet or sink and a short wood bundle are priced as miscellaneous items.
City cost & eligibility
Revere lists construction items and debris as not eligible, naming windows, doors, concrete, wood bundles, drywall and similar material, along with dirt, antifreeze and gas or gas cans. A toilet or sink and a wood bundle are priced in the fee table's Miscellaneous block, which is marked Ineligible for Curbside Pickup, so they go to the department of public works yard or a private route, and a renovation load itself has to go through a private outfit.
When & how
Arranged privately rather than through the City collection, so the material is not set out for pickup.
Get it ready
Separate anything the City will take from the project load, because a toilet or sink can be permitted as a miscellaneous item and a short wood bundle is priced in the lower tier, while windows, doors, concrete, drywall and the rest of the debris are refused. Keep the load off the sidewalk and out of the recycling cart.
Exercise equipment is named in no price tier, so the machine has to be confirmed through the permit system before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
The City prices couches, smaller furniture, appliances and electronics item by item but does not name exercise equipment, so ask the department of public works or City 311 which tier the machine falls into and what the charge would be before applying.
When & how
Through the bulky permit system if the City confirms the item, applying before the mid afternoon deadline for a next day pickup.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it comes apart and keep loose weights with the frame, then set it out only once the permit is confirmed. Keep it out of the recycling cart and off the sidewalk until the pickup is scheduled.
Nothing bulky is collected without an online permit, and the deadline matters: mid afternoon Monday through Thursday for a next day pickup, and by mid afternoon on the preceding Thursday for a Friday or a Monday. The City warns that a late application may push the item to the following week, so the permit is filed before the item reaches the curb.
Revere prices bulky items by tier rather than by weight. A couch, love seat, dresser, bed frame, chair, table, grill or entertainment center sits at the upper rate, a lamp, a rug up to four feet long, a coffee table or a television stand sits lower, appliances and electronics such as a refrigerator, washer, oven or television have their own rate, a mattress is priced on its own line above all of them, and small household appliances are the cheapest priced item.
Batteries, bulbs and paint go to the public works yard
The items that never belong in a cart go to the department of public works yard on Charger Street. Batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, mercury thermometers and thermostats, nickel cadmium batteries and waste oil are accepted at no charge, and a paint can with the original label carries a small published per can charge, while aerosol cans, antifreeze, gas cans and dirt are refused everywhere in the program.
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.

Arrange it
Register in the permitting portal, apply under the bulky item pickup type and the correct subtype, pay online, and put the item out only after the confirmation arrives.
Each item is charged separately, construction debris, antifreeze, gas cans and aerosol paint cannot be permitted at all, and a late application may wait until the following week.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Revere.
How much does bulk junk removal cost in Revere?+
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 do I request a bulky item pickup?+
Through the City's online permitting portal, because Revere replaced the sticker program with an online bulky item pickup program. Register, apply under the bulky item pickup type, choose the appliances or other bulky items subtype, pay online, and watch for the email confirmation.Official guidance
When is the deadline to apply?+
Mid afternoon Monday through Thursday for a next day pickup, and by mid afternoon on the preceding Thursday for a Friday or Monday pickup. The City warns that an application filed later than that may not be picked up until the following week.Official guidance
What does a mattress pickup cost?+
The City prices a mattress on its own line, well above a couch or an appliance, and it is accepted only as a drop-off at the department of public works yard on the last Saturday of each month from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. rather than at the curb. Each piece, mattress or box spring, carries its own charge.Official guidance
How is an appliance collected?+
Through the online bulky item permit, applied for under the appliances subtype and paid at the published per item rate, which covers refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers, dryers, washing machines, microwaves, air conditioners and trash compactors. Small household appliances are a separate, cheaper published item.Official guidance
Where does a television go?+
Through the online bulky item permit at the published per item rate for electronics and appliances, with a lower senior rate available. Batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, mercury thermometers and thermostats and waste oil are separate no charge items taken to the public works yard on Charger Street.Official guidance
Will Revere take construction debris?+
No. The City lists construction items and debris as not eligible, including windows, doors, concrete, wood bundles, drywall, dirt, antifreeze and gas or gas cans. Some pieces can still be permitted separately, such as a toilet or sink as a miscellaneous item and a wood bundle no longer than four feet at the lower bulky rate.Official guidance
Can exercise equipment be picked up?+
Ask first, because Revere's bulky list itemizes couches, smaller furniture, appliances and electronics but does not name exercise equipment. If it is accepted the machine is permitted like any other bulky item, applied for before the mid afternoon deadline so it can be collected the next day.Official guidance
Who collects the waste in Revere?+
The City's sanitation contractor collects curbside trash, recycling and permitted bulky items, while the City sets the rules and the prices. Revere 311 takes a missed trash, recycling or paid bulky pickup no later than noon on the day after the missed collection, and the City works with the contractor to recover the items.Official guidance
What do I do about a missed pickup?+
Contact Revere 311 no later than noon on the day after the missed collection, whether it was trash, recycling or a paid bulky item, and the City will work with its sanitation contractor to have the items collected.Official guidance
Can clothing and textiles be recycled here?+
Yes. Revere runs a textile recycling program with a partner organization that offers free curbside textile collections, which residents schedule online, along with donation bins at City Hall on Broadway, Revere High School, the West Revere School Complex, Revere Boxing and the public works yard.Official guidance
What if trash will not fit in the cart?+
Only one city cart may sit at the curb, except during the six designated overflow weeks the City publishes. Overflow trash is priced as a miscellaneous item in the fee table's Ineligible for Curbside Pickup block, so the paid route is a drop-off at the department of public works yard rather than extra bags left beside the cart. Anything larger than a bag moves into the bulky tiers, where each item is charged separately.Official guidance
Are there discounted rates?+
Yes. The City publishes a lower senior rate alongside each bulky tier and for the miscellaneous items such as overflow trash, paint cans, tires and small household appliances, so an eligible senior household pays less per permitted item.Official guidance
