Quick answer for Lunenburg
The Town specifically operates a YEAR-ROUND BIWEEKLY bulky item collection program on regular GREEN garbage-and-compost weeks. One qualifying large item (for example a chair, couch, mattress, washing machine or pallet) can be set out in place of one additional clear bag. ONE bulky item OR one extra clear bag is the rule, not both.
1. What ordinary curbside collection covers
The Town of Lunenburg has four required municipal waste streams. Regular garbage/compost and recyclables/paper run on alternating weeks according to the address-specific Town calendar. Regular set-out is by 6 a.m.
2. Regional landfill or transfer-station route
For excluded material, consult Region 6 Solid Waste Management’s municipal rules and permitted facilities, plus the Town’s bulky-item acceptance chart before self-hauling.
3. Appliances, chemicals and special waste
Ordinary recyclable and hazardous waste must be sorted into designated streams. The Town’s free garden/compost site is for leaves, limbs and garden debris, not upholstery or demolition loads.
4. Charges, schedules and booking
The Town webpage confirms one bulky item on the applicable green week; it does not establish a general transfer-station furniture charge.
What still needs a last check
Although the site references the original 2020 program start, the current Town 2026 waste page continues to describe the scheme. Verify any rule amendments or address exceptions in the latest municipal guide.
Waste and recycling rules can vary by building type, address, operator and material. Large items should not be left at the curb unless your applicable collection program explicitly authorizes them. Facility acceptance is different from curbside acceptance.
Before you load a truck or place an item outside
- Check whether municipal or regional service applies to your property.
- Identify the item’s exact stream: mattress, furniture, major appliance, metal, hazardous waste, construction material or ordinary household refuse.
- Check the official fee, facility hours and any required booking or advance approval.
- Secure your load and follow facility instructions for separation or special handling.
