Junk removal in Danvers, MA
NO SURPRISES.
This page is for hiring JUNKRUN in Danvers: prices, what we take, how booking works. For what the town itself does, see Danvers bulky item pickup rules.
What the town of Danvers handles, and what it does not
Weekly trash and single-stream recycling go in the town carts, out by 7:00 am. Furniture, carpet, major appliances, grills, lawn equipment and TVs go out with a $20 sticker per item; you call the number on the sticker the day before. Mattresses and box springs are not part of that program and go through UTEC.
The curbside program does not take metal items, rigid plastics or construction material. Metal and plastics go to the Transfer Station instead, and construction debris is handled through a private hauler, which the town's bulky item page says to contact.
Danvers Transfer Station rules
The Transfer Station at 1 East Coast Rd is open Monday to Saturday, 7 am to 4 pm (last entry 3:45), and closed Sunday. It is for Danvers residents with proof of residency. Household trash and metal cost $0.17 a pound, and bulky items such as TVs, appliances and furniture cost $50 each. Payment is by card only, and you need your own hard hat and safety vest to dispose of trash or metal.
Those rules leave out renters with out-of-town ID, landlords cleaning a unit and anyone without a pickup truck.
Danvers houses and what comes out of them
Danvers is mostly Capes, Colonials and ranches with full basements and garages, so most jobs are basement shelving, old furniture, a sagging couch from a finished lower level, or a garage that has not been emptied in years. Condo complexes near Route 1 and Route 128 add move-out jobs where a dumpster is not allowed.
We come from Melrose, about 30 to 40 minutes away, and the crew carries items out from basements and upper floors. Pickups are priced per item, for example a sofa $139 or a regular dresser $99, with a $159 minimum.
