The catch

The $20 sticker covers a lot — even the fridge and TV — but it will NOT take your mattress. That one's on you.

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.
