Junk removal jobs in Plymouth and on Cape Cod for haulers with a truck

Town rules checked October 24, 2026 · by JUNKRUN, Melrose MA

In short

JunkRun gets more junk pickup requests than we can run ourselves. We send the extra jobs to independent haulers with a truck or trailer. In this area that means Plymouth, Bourne, Sandwich, Falmouth, Mashpee, Barnstable, Yarmouth, Dennis, Harwich, Brewster, Chatham, Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown. Each job shows the exact pay before you claim it. It is free to join and there are no lead fees. You work for yourself and carry your own insurance.

What the jobs look like here

Most jobs are furniture, mattresses, appliances, and basement and garage cleanouts from homes. Size and pay are on each job before you claim it. This is what the homes are like in each town, from the pages we run for customers.

Plymouth

Questions

Do I have to live in Plymouth + Cape Cod?

No. You pick the towns you want when you apply, and we only send you jobs in those towns. Hauling jobs here are in Plymouth, Bourne, Sandwich, Falmouth, Mashpee, Barnstable, Yarmouth, Dennis, Harwich, Brewster, Chatham, Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown.

How do I see the pay?

Each job we send shows the exact pay before you claim it. That is the pay you get. If we raise the price on a job nobody has claimed, we tell you.

Does it cost anything to join?

No. There is no sign-up fee and no fee to see or claim jobs.

What do I need?

A pickup, box truck, dump trailer or enclosed trailer, your own insurance, and the ability to lift, load and be on time. You work for yourself. A one-person crew with a truck is fine.

Can I use the town dump or transfer station for these jobs?

Check the town first. Where a town lists its drop-off site, the table above shows whether the town lists it as residents only. Mattresses and box springs cannot go in the trash in Massachusetts, so plan for a recycler.
