Bulky item pickup and disposal in Mashpee

The posted gate fees, item by item

The town lists the fees for bulky waste at the Transfer Station and asks you to pay the gate attendant on arrival; checks go to the Town of Mashpee and the page says cash or check only. The big-ticket lines are mattresses and box springs at $30 each, appliances and electronics at $10, and upholstered furniture between $5 and $15. Other furniture is $2 to $5. Scrap metal is free.

TVs and monitors are priced by screen: under 20 inches $10, 20 to 35 inches $25, 36 to 50 inches $35, and 51 inches or console-size $50. The fee is on top of getting in: you still need a sticker or a single-trip pass.

Getting in: sticker, pass, and the 5-bag rule

The gate needs a permit or pass. A single-trip pass is $25 and can be bought at the Town Clerk or paid at the gate. The brochure confirms visitors may buy one. For a one-off bulky load that means a $25 pass plus the item fees, so a $15 couch, a $30 mattress and a $10 refrigerator come to $80 with the pass, before you count the trip.

The station is closed Monday and Tuesday. A bulky item that has to go the day the cottage empties on a Monday has no town option. The brochure notes the station is operated by a private contractor and administered by the DPW. Ask at the gatehouse before you arrive if you need a hand unloading.

When a hauler is the better call

The Board of Health requires a Refuse Haulers license for anyone who collects and transports refuse in Mashpee for compensation, and keeps a courtesy list of licensed haulers that it says it does not endorse. If you only have one or two items and a truck, the gate is cheap. If you have a bedroom set, a sectional, or anything on a second floor, the carry costs more than the fees.

JUNKRUN is priced by the piece or by trailer space: a couch $139, a regular dresser $99, a quarter trailer $209. We carry from the room, and the pass, gate and cash-or-check step are off your plate.
