The catch

Danvers is the rare town whose cheap $20 sticker even takes the fridge and TV — but still not the mattress. Construction debris goes to a private dump.

The 2022 rule that changed everything

Since November 2022, Massachusetts banned mattresses, box springs and textiles from regular trash — on top of the older bans on tires, large appliances, CRT TVs and construction debris. That's why your town now makes you pay a fee or use a separate program for the big stuff. Leaving it on the wrong curb can mean a fine of up to $5,500.
