Updated 10/8/2026: The community response to this event has been so successful that organizers can no longer accept new pickups, and the link to sign up has been removed from this event. Stay tuned for a similar event in the future, that if scheduled, will be close in time to a future Westwood Department of Public Works bulk collection date. In the meantime, please consider dropping off your furniture and household items directly to New Life Furniture Bank of MA in Walpole.

Are you thinking about throwing away a piece of furniture during Westwood’s October Bulk Pickup collection by the DPW? Instead, you can give that item a second life by donating it to New Life Furniture Bank, which provides gently used household furnishings to individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness.

The event is the first of two events organized by Westwood Environmental Action Committee in October. On Sunday, October 11, New Life Furniture Bank will be collecting the following items in Westwood only:

● dressers

● desks

● dining tables

● dining chairs

● bookcases

● coffee tables

Thanks to the many people who have signed up to have their items picked up by New Life Furniture Bank's truck and WEAC volunteers on October 11 in Westwood, the sign-up is now closed.

WEAC will also be holding a Repair Café on Saturday, October 18, during which the community is invited to bring broken items to skilled volunteer "fixers" who will attempt to repair the items, as part of an effort to reduce waste and consumption.
