Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Worcester has no free city curbside bulk. Self-haul mattress to the Residential Drop-Off Center at 1065 Millbury Street by appointment — $5/item; mattress/box spring $15 (published). Optional paid Casella curbside pickup. Keep HHW for Hazardous Waste Days.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
Take motor oil to Worcester Hazardous Waste Days (about 4 free events/year, appointment required) — no permanent daily HHW depot. Oil-based paint/stains at HHW days; latex paint → dry out then trash. Keep chemicals off RDC bulk loads.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Worcester electronics including e waste mixed go to the RDC by appointment — TVs $5 (size tiers), monitors/CPUs $5 published. Wipe data. Keep electronics out of trash under MA rules.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Some C&D-type fixtures (toilets, sinks, counters, doors) are on the RDC fee list — not regular trash. Larger remodel debris needs private C&D. Route paint to Hazardous Waste Days.
Yard waste, food scraps, and cooking oil where the city has a separate stream.
Official source:
Worcester yard waste drops seasonally at the RDC (1065 Millbury) and satellite sites (e.g. Chandler/Clark) — confirm worcesterma.gov hours.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Worcester recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. Worcester DPW — Residential Drop-Off Center is the official Worcester program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
