Freezer Removal in Lincoln, Massachusetts

In Massachusetts, mattress disposal costs vary by town but generally range from $20 to $80+, depending on if you drop it off (around $25-$50) or get curbside pickup (which can be $40-$75+), as mattresses are banned from landfills and must be recycled, with fees covering the cost of disassembly and recycling. Expect fees around $25 for city drop-off centers (Fitchburg, Attleboro), $40-$50 in places like Methuen, or $75+ for curbside pickup in Boston, with local programs offering subsidies or different private company options.

Larger items such as sofas, settees, couches, armchairs, chairs and beds can be taken to the Household Waste Recycling Centre where there is more opportunity for the materials to be sorted and recovered. If the item is reusable, many charity shops will accept them as donations and in some cases also collect.

In Massachusetts, you cannot throw TVs in the regular trash; they must be recycled at approved facilities or through special collection events, using resources like RecycleSmart MA, Earth911, or your town's website for local options like drop-offs, mail-backs, or retailer take-backs (e.g., Best Buy). Older CRT TVs are especially hazardous due to lead and require proper handling, often at designated e-waste events or facilities.
