Move-out and rental changeover junk removal in Orleans, Massachusetts

The town rules a rental owner works under

The town's rental page says rentals must be registered before they are rented. It adds that registration is quick and takes no payment or inspection, can be done through the town's permit portal or a form sent to the Assessing Department at 19 School Road (508-240-3700 x2430). The page was moved on the town's new website, so confirm the current form with Assessing.

For trash, the fee schedule has a Seasonal Renter category with a $195 vehicle sticker and a one-time user fee, $10 for the first 3 bags and $2 a bag after that as printed. The recycling-only sticker is not for household trash.

A Saturday changeover against Transfer Station hours

Guests check out Saturday morning. The station is open Friday to Tuesday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., so Saturday through Tuesday you can haul. Wednesday and Thursday are closed days. A turnover that leaves a mattress or a broken patio set on Tuesday night has no station option until Friday.

Per-piece fees are on the 2025 schedule: mattresses $40, upholstered chairs $20, lawn and patio furniture $5 each, bicycles $5, exercise equipment $5. A broken outdoor shower, a grill and six bags of linens add up fast, and state rules mean mattresses cannot go in the trash.

For textiles, the station's recycling list takes clothing, linens and shoes.

End-of-season move-outs and tenants

A year-round tenant leaving in May or a summer tenant leaving in September has the same problem: the apartment is empty and the landlord wants it clear by the last day. JUNKRUN takes what is left, from porch to cellar: a loveseat $89, a dresser $99, a queen mattress $109, or a mixed load by the trailer: a quarter $209, a half $319, with a $159 minimum.

We keep to the same price in East Orleans, South Orleans, Rock Harbor and the Village Center. Send photos of the pile and the time window.
