Other notes
- Facts from the official City of Lynn Collections and Dropoffs page fetched November 12, 2026.
- Year-round drop-offs described on that official page are televisions, CRT / computer monitors, and propane tanks (fees listed as of 2020), fluorescent light bulbs, and mattress recycling at $35 per mattress. Official typo: "TV'S."
- The same official page also lists a Covanta location at 247 Commercial Street for clean-outs and collection and drop-off days, and says bulk-waste item disposal is only free during Bulk Waste Item Days and is not free for any other drop-off date or curbside pick-up. That Covanta listing was not published as a separate year-round dump page because the fetched page does not give standing public hours for a general Covanta drop-off.
- (781) 477-7099 and (781) 268-8000 are the information numbers printed at the bottom of the drop-off section.
- Official typo in the HHW what-to-bring list: "Sport Remover." Official typo in one hours line: "Friday's from 8:30 AM until 11:30 AM."
