Bulky item pickup in Dennis, Massachusetts

How Dennis charges for bulky items

Dennis posts a fee schedule for the Transfer Station, and the bulky part is per item. Sofas, couches and loveseats are $15 each. Upholstered chairs, washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, stoves and water heaters are $10 each. TVs, monitors and laptops are $15 each, and microwaves, dehumidifiers and air conditioners are $5 each.

The town's guide says these fee items need no pass. You pay at the gate, so a driver with a pickup full of furniture pays for each piece as it comes off the truck. Carpet is $5 per bundle at 4 by 12 feet, and sinks and toilets are $5 each.

Mixed loads, demolition and wood

Furniture that does not fit the list has an awkward home. The town says furniture goes with construction and demolition waste and is sent by rail to be landfilled. Demolition debris is weighed: $225 per ton, with a $10 minimum entry for loads of 80 pounds or less.

Wood is its own fee line. The Prohibited Materials page says a fee applies for all treated and untreated wood, and sheetrock and gypsum board carry a fee too. A deck rail, a bookcase and a bag of drywall scraps are three different charges at the scale house.

The station is open Wednesday to Sunday only, so a cleanout that lands on a Monday or Tuesday has no town drop-off at all.

When one visit from us is easier

If the pile is a sofa, a mattress, a dresser and some boxes, the gate fees are small but the hauling is yours: a truck, two people, a pass through South Dennis traffic in July, and a Wednesday-to-Sunday window.

JUNKRUN takes the whole pile in one visit at a flat price: a quarter trailer $209, a half $319, three-quarters $409 and a full trailer $519, $159 minimum. A regular dresser is $99, a standard appliance $119, a flat-screen TV $59. No travel fee, no stair fee. Text a photo and the village, and we quote one number. We are based in Melrose and serve Dennis Port, West Dennis, South Dennis, East Dennis and Dennis Village.
