Got bulky stuff to get rid of? Get organized and get rid of it, and potentially all for FREE, in 2017. Here's a checklist for getting rid of bulky stuff:
COULD SOMEONE STILL USE IT?
1) Donate it to a Charity
Pickup & Drop-Off OptionsHere are organizations that offer free pickup and drop-off of
your living, dining and bedroom furniture in
good-condition.
Most only require 1-2 weeks’ notice for pick up.
Short on time? Check out the following websites for
drop-off locations, hours, and to check that they will accept your
donation.
Salvation Army
For free pickup use their online pickup form or call 1-800-SA-TRUCK. They take mattresses in
clean and good condition.
Epilepsy Foundation
For free pickup use their online form or call (888) 322-8209.
Society of St. Vincent de Paul
For residential pick-up of your furniture, please call 1-800-675-2882, between 8:30am - 3:30pm (Monday - Friday).
Drop-off good items at:
Goodwill, Donation Center at 450 Paradise Road in Swampscott, MA 01905 (Next to Stop&Shop) 7 days a week, 8-4:30pm
They accept small home furnishings - One person carry items only.
CHARITY DOESN'T WANT IT? STILL WANT SOMEONE TO PICK IT UP?
- Sell or give good-condition stuff away for free at Craig’s List or Freecycle. Postings
are free, most do better with a photo. You can arrange to have it picked up by the person who wants it. I list stuff in the Craigslist FREE Section a lot, and 90% of the time someone responds within a day or two.
BULKY ITEM CAN'T BE REUSED.
IT'S TRASH. YOU HAUL IT.
There are now several options to get rid of bulky stuff for free most SATURDAYS. You need to haul them yourself and a Driver's License is required as Identification. Lynn Residents Only.

The cost is $21.20. A Mattress and box spring are considered one item. Call Waste Management at 800-972-4545 to arrange for a pickup. They pick up on your regular trash day.
If you have more than a few items, you should call a hauler. Here are two junk removal companies in Lynn.
