You want to know it is handled.
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 and brush bundles ride the seasonal special collection, and everything beyond the city cart has to be taken to the Four Hills Landfill.
City cost & eligibility
$25 per oversized item once the five free special collections in a calendar year are used, with the first five items and the first four tires each year collected at no charge. Nashua addresses that receive city trash collection, with the item booked on that week's list and at the curb before the scheduled collection; clean-out and move-out loads are not collected at the curb at all and go to the landfill under the residential permit.
When & how
The special collection season runs from mid-spring to the end of October, with no pickups between mid-October and mid-spring. Book by Friday afternoon for the following week, then put non-metal items at the curb by 6:45 a.m. on the trash day and metal items out by 6:45 a.m. on Monday.
Get it ready
Bundle brush with branches no more than three inches thick and no more than four feet long, in bundles of no more than 60 pounds, keep everything clear of the cart and the sidewalk, and take anything the collection cannot take to the landfill, because no overflow beyond the city cart is picked up and a clean-out is not a curbside load.
The city cart is the only container that is collected
One city-issued cart is provided for each residential unit served by the department, all trash goes in plastic bags inside that cart, and no other container or loose bag is picked up. The cart goes to the curb no earlier than 24 hours before collection and by 6:45 a.m. on the collection day, within two feet of the curb with the lid arrow toward the street and the handle facing the house, at least 10 feet from a parked car and three to five feet from yard waste or another container, and it comes back in by the end of the day.
Oversized items are collected only on an appointment, so a couch, mattress, appliance, tire or brush bundle is added to the following week's list by a call to 603-589-3410 or through the oversize item form, submitted by Friday afternoon. Metal items go out by 6:45 a.m. Monday and non-metal items by 6:45 a.m. on the trash day, and everything stays at the curb until the truck reaches it. There are no pickups between mid-October and mid-spring.
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 Nashua.
How much does bulk junk removal cost in Nashua?+
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.
What does Nashua collect as an oversized item?+
Furniture, large appliances, mattresses, residential tires off the rim and bundles of brush, all booked on the week's list at 603-589-3410 or through the oversize item form by Friday afternoon. The first five oversized items and the first four tires in a calendar year are collected at no charge and later items are charged each. Electronics, construction and demolition debris and anything from a clean-out or a move-out are not collected at the curb and go to the Four Hills Landfill instead.Official guidance
When can I put a couch or mattress out for collection in Nashua?+
Between mid-spring and the end of October, and only after it is on the week's list. Call the Solid Waste Department at 603-589-3410 or send the oversize item form by Friday afternoon for the following week, then leave a non-metal item such as a couch or mattress at the curb by 6:45 a.m. on your trash day and a metal item such as a refrigerator out by 6:45 a.m. on Monday. There are no pickups between mid-October and mid-spring, and the first five oversized items each year are collected at no charge.Official guidance
How is renovation debris charged in Nashua?+
By weight, at the scale. Construction and demolition debris is not collected at the curb and is not part of the special collection, so a homeowner takes it to the Nashua Recycling Center at 840 West Hollis Street, where the load is weighed in and out and charged per ton with the state disposal charge included. The charged category covers doors, windows, sheetrock, lumber, plywood, cement board, carpet and padding, roofing, siding, cabinets, tile, flooring and plaster, and a residential permit is required.Official guidance
What can I do with bags that do not fit in the city cart?+
Take them to the Four Hills Landfill, because nothing outside the cart is picked up. Extra bags from a celebration, a spring cleaning, a basement clean-out or a move-out are not part of the curbside collection at all, so they go to 840 West Hollis Street under the residential permit, which is bought at the scale house against the vehicle registration and is waived at 65 and older. Household trash is accepted there at no charge, and construction debris, appliances, tires and electronics go over the scale as their own categories.Official guidance
