City cost & eligibility
No charge. Town of Amherst households setting out up to eight bulky items a week in addition to the garbage totes at no per item charge. Exceeding the limit puts the property owner in line for a 250 dollar move out or clean out fee assessed by citation, and flooding or other disasters are handled by calling the Office of Refuse Control for extra pickup options.
When & how

Get it ready
Keep every piece liftable and manageable, cut carpets, carpet padding, pool liners, large plastic and pool covers into four foot widths and roll and tie them to no more than sixty pounds, with no more than eight rolls a week, and disassemble pianos and organs, treating the electronics from them as electronics rather than as bulky material.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Amherst.
How much does mattress removal cost in Amherst?+
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 Amherst?+
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.
How many bulky items can go out in Amherst?+
No more than eight items a week in addition to the garbage totes, and the town can assess a move out or clean out fee by citation when the limit is exceeded. Furniture, mattresses and box springs all count, and the same weekly stop takes them, so there is no separate bulky appointment for those pieces.Official guidance
How do I get rid of a mattress in Amherst?+
Put it at the curb with the garbage. The town names mattresses and box springs among the bulky items that can be placed out with the garbage, and each piece counts against the eight item weekly limit that applies in addition to the totes.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Amherst?+
The Town of Amherst collects garbage and recyclables weekly in town issued totes, with the Office of Refuse Control answering service questions, and the Highway Department handling the separate streams: white goods and large metal by appointment twice a month, electronics at the Highway Department, and fall leaf pickup on its own schedule.Official guidance
What does trash collection cost in Amherst?+
The town does not publish a per pickup rate on its refuse policies page, and the bulky allowance is included: up to eight items a week go out with the garbage totes at no per item charge. The price that is published is a penalty rather than a fee, a 250 dollar move out or clean out charge assessed by citation when the eight item limit is exceeded.Official guidance
How do I get rid of a couch or a mattress in Amherst?+
Put it at the curb with the garbage. Furniture, mattresses and box springs are all named among the bulky items residents may set out, and each piece counts against the limit of eight items a week in addition to the totes. Carpet has to be cut, rolled and tied under sixty pounds, and pianos and organs have to be disassembled first.Official guidance
How do appliances and electronics leave Amherst?+
By appointment and by drop off rather than at the curb. White goods such as refrigerators, ovens, washers and dryers are collected by the Highway Department by appointment only twice a month, with refrigerator and freezer doors removed first, and electronics are no longer collected curbside at all, so televisions and computers go to the Highway Department at 1042 North Forest Road.Official guidance
When does Amherst collect yard waste?+
Separately from April 1 through November 30, in garbage cans with lids removed, bushel baskets with solid bottoms and two handles, or two ply paper yard waste bags under sixty pounds, with no plastic bags or plastic tied bundles.
