Boston's 311 Appliance Pickup — The Full Rules & What We Skip

Boston offers free appliance collection through 311 — but there are rules most residents don't find out until it's too late. Here's exactly how it works:

You must schedule an appointment by calling 311 or using the BOS:311 app. Fridges and freezers will not be collected if the door is still attached or food is still inside. Items must be in a publicly accessible space — curbside or public alley — by 6AM on your appointment day. The city cannot collect items on private property. Special item collection is limited to 10 items per calendar year per household, with a maximum of 5 per appointment. If you exceed your annual limit, the city requires you to hire a private hauler. Buildings with 7 or more units are not eligible for the mattress collection program. The city does not collect commercial-grade appliances under any circumstances. Water heaters, plumbing fixtures, and construction debris are never collected — private hauler always required.

We skip the entire process. Appliances must be disconnected before we arrive — we carry everything out from wherever it sits and haul it the same day. No 311 appointment, no door removal, no 6AM curbside deadline, no annual limit.

Flat Pricing — No Hidden Surcharges

Some appliance removal services charge extra fees on top of their base rate for refrigerators, freezers, and AC units due to Freon handling requirements. Our pricing starts at $120 flat with no hidden surcharges for any appliance type. All refrigerants are handled through certified MassDEP recycling facilities — properly and at no extra charge to you.
