Bulk disposal in Suffolk County is handled per-city. Boston offers free scheduled bulk pickup via 311 for furniture and appliances; mattresses are banned from trash under MA waste ban 310 CMR 19.017.
Suffolk County does not handle waste. Boston Public Works provides free bulk item pickup through 311 — residents schedule pickup online or by phone, and items must be placed curbside by 5 AM on the scheduled date. Accepted bulk items: furniture, mattresses (which go through Boston's Mattress Recycling Program — state waste-banned from landfill since November 2022 under 310 CMR 19.017), appliances (refrigerant must be removed with a sticker certifying removal), carpet, wooden fencing. Electronics are NOT accepted in bulk pickup — Boston operates separate electronics drop-off days and a permanent facility at 815 Massachusetts Avenue. Hazardous household waste (paint, solvents, batteries, chemicals) goes to seasonal HHW drop-off events. Construction debris is NOT accepted — homeowners must hire a private hauler or dumpster. Chelsea, Revere, and Winthrop each offer similar scheduled bulk programs through their DPWs, typically 1-2 items per pickup with advance notice. Illegal dumping (putting out bulk without scheduling) triggers a $5,500 fine under Boston Municipal Code §7-13.2.
Boston illegal dumping: $5,500 per offense under §7-13.2 plus criminal charges under MGL c. 270 §16. Bulk items placed out without scheduling: $50-$200 code enforcement citation. Appliances without refrigerant sticker: refused and left with a violation notice.
