Bulky item disposal in Eastham, MA

The 2026-2027 fee sheet, item by item

The 2026-2027 guide lists wood items and furniture by weight: 40 to 80 lb $5, 81 to 120 lb $10, 121 to 160 lb $15, 161 to 200 lb $20, and $0.135 per pound above 200 lb. Upholstered chairs and sofas are $20 each. Mattresses other than box springs and cribs are $50. Appliances are $20 each, TVs and monitors $15, tires $15, rugs $10, sinks and toilets $10 each. Batteries are free. Mixed solid waste on the scale is $175 per ton and construction and demolition is $270 per ton.

These stack on top of the sticker or the $10 entry. A dresser and a bed frame weighed together will not add up to a single flat fee, so bring a rough weight in mind when you load.

What the gate will not take, and how to load

The Board of Health lists mattresses, fully upholstered furniture, metals, tires, TVs and construction debris as materials that cannot go in the compactors; they go to their own areas and are charged on the sheet. Prohibited outright: asbestos and other special waste, explosives, corrosives and motor vehicles. Brush, vines, stumps and large timbers are refused.

You also need a vehicle that fits. The guide caps loads at a one-ton truck bed and says no dump trucks or trailer trucks. Pay with cash or check; the gate has no card reader. If an item is unclear, the guide gives 774-801-0520, option 2.

When a pickup beats the trip

Three things push people toward a hauler: the station is closed Thursday and Friday most of the year, a bulky pile needs a pickup truck and a second person, and the fees are per piece. JUNKRUN loads from inside the house. Furniture and appliances are priced by item (a regular dresser $99, a standard appliance $119, a sofa $139) or by trailer load, whichever is cheaper for your pile. A half trailer is $319, a full one $519, $159 minimum, no travel fee. We take the piece from a basement, an attic or a cottage porch.

Three ways to clear a bulky pile in Eastham

  1. Haul it yourself

    Buy a sticker at 555 Old Orchard Road or pay $10 at the gate. Bring cash or a check for the per-item lines. Go Saturday to Wednesday between 7:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.

  2. Give still-good pieces to the Swap Shop

    The Recycling Committee runs a take-and-leave shop at the station, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Taking items to resell is not allowed.

  3. Book a flat-price pickup

    Send photos or a list; we price by item or trailer space and carry out from any floor. Pay JUNKRUN by card, Zelle or Venmo.

Quick answers

How do I get rid of a dresser in Eastham?

+

Furniture is charged by weight at the Transfer Station: $5 for 40 to 80 lb up to $20 for 161 to 200 lb, and $0.135 per pound over 200 lb. A sound dresser can go to the Swap Shop for free.

Does Eastham have bulky waste pickup?

+

The town's published pages list no curbside bulky route. Items are brought to the Transfer Station at 255 Old Orchard Road or removed by a private hauler.

Can I leave furniture at the curb in Eastham?

+

The town pages do not describe curbside furniture collection, and items left on a public way are not covered by any pickup program we found. Call the DPW at 774-801-0520 before leaving anything out.

Is the Eastham Transfer Station open on Friday?

+

Only in summer. The 2026-2027 guide says Fridays open starting July 3 and the last Friday is September 11, so the 2026 Friday hours have ended. Check the next brochure for 2027.
