The catch

Saugus is the cheapest on paper — $2 for furniture — but you still wrap it, cut it to size, drag it to the curb yourself, and the mattress is still banned.

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.
