Who can use it
The official Drop-off Program page says the program is available to Fall River residents only and tells users to speak to the attendant before dropping off any materials. Official bulky-item wording: "Fall River residents can accept these items year-round by dropping them off at the DCM Facility."
Hours
- Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
- Saturdays 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Sticker or permit
Required: No (see notes)
Price: No gate-permit price is printed. Curbside bulky collection requires a city-issued bulky-item sticker, purchased and scheduled through the official DCM Bulky Items Program. Drop-off users should speak to the attendant before dropping off any materials.
Where to buy: Curbside bulky-item tickets: official DCM Bulky Items Program scheduling page linked from the bulky-items page.
Notes: The (508) 324-2000 number is the City Hall contact printed on the official pages, not a separately labeled garage line.

Hazardous waste
Paint and oil-based materials are dropped off at the City Garage at 10 Lewiston Street. The official drop-off program page points to a year-round oil schedule and a 2026 Paint Program Schedule. The fetched 2026 Paint Disposal Schedule page did not include a usable dated list in the extracted text, so those dates are not reprinted here. Confirm current paint and oil days on the official schedules before you go.
Holiday closures
No dated holiday list appears on the fetched official bulky-item or drop-off program pages. Confirm with the City at (508) 324-2000 before a holiday week.

Other notes
- Official pages use both DCM Facility and City Garage for 10 Lewiston Street.
- Official typo: "Fall River residents can accept these items year-round by dropping them off."
- Curbside bulky collection is a separate scheduled program. Residents with scheduled curbside collections must attach the bulky-item sticker issued by the city. Items are collected only on the scheduled pickup date.
- The official bulky-item table also lists furniture, many appliances, bicycles (remove tires), lawnmowers (remove tires, oil, and gas), pools, swing sets (piping cut no longer than 6 feet, no concrete), and carpeting (9 feet by 12 feet rolled, folded, and tied, or cut down if larger) under the $12.00 for 1-3 items price unless otherwise noted.
