Junk removal in Plymouth, Massachusetts
NO SURPRISES.
This page is for hiring JUNKRUN in Plymouth: prices, what we take, how booking works. For what the town itself does, see Plymouth bulky item pickup rules, Leaf and yard waste in Plymouth, MA, Christmas tree disposal in Plymouth, MA, Manomet Transfer Station.
How trash and bulky items work in Plymouth
The town's own sheet says it no longer offers weekly curbside trash or biweekly curbside recycling. Homeowners hire a licensed private hauler or use the pay-as-you-throw option at the Manomet Transfer Station, 350 Beaver Dam Road. Apartment and multi-family complexes use shared dumpsters or carts, and renters should check the lease to see who is responsible.
Bulky items are not part of a town pickup. The residential page says your hauler may take bulky items from the curb for an extra fee, or you can bring them to the station with a vehicle permit.
Manomet Transfer Station, in brief
Open 8 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday, closed Wednesday and Thursday. Entry takes a permit, and a vehicle without one is fined $100. The 2026-27 rate sheet lists $190 for a full-year pass, $60 for recycling only, and short passes of $30 for 30 days or $85 for 120 days, for property owners and year-round tenants.
All trash goes in orange town PAYT bags. The town's bag list prints a $8.75 price for a package of eight 15-gallon bags or five 30-gallon bags, and names sellers from Aubuchon Hardware on State Road to The Market at Pinehills and White Horse General Store.
Furniture, mattresses and the pay-by-weight facility
Next to the station at 354 Beaver Dam Road, a separate facility run by Republic Services takes the heavy material. It is open Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., with no town trash service required. Everything is paid by weight, and mattresses and box springs are weight plus $75 each. The town's A-to-Z guide puts furniture, carpet, wood and construction debris there too. Appliances with refrigerant (refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers) go to the Manomet side with a $20 freon removal fee.
A couch, a mattress and a broken dresser therefore means two facilities on two different schedules. JUNKRUN takes the mixed load in one visit: quarter trailer $209, half $319, three-quarters $409, full trailer $519, minimum $159. No travel fee, and we carry out from basements and second floors.
Villages, rentals and seasonal homes
The town's planning office lists Plymouth Center, North Plymouth, West Plymouth, Manomet and Cedarville master plans, and the 2017 open space plan adds the Pinehills as a sixth growth area, with Ellisville among the rural areas. The food-waste page names The Pinehills and Redbrook communities. We work in all of them.
Short-term rental owners register with Public Health, $50 a year since January 1, 2024. Between guests, a mattress or a broken chair has no easy exit for a renter: the station permit is for owners and year-round tenants. That is where a flat-price pickup fits.

What a pickup in Plymouth looks like.
- Where
- Plymouth is a South Shore town on Cape Cod Bay about 40 miles south of Boston, with 36 miles of coastline. At 103 square miles it is the largest town in Massachusetts by area. It is in Plymouth County, not Barnstable County, so its household hazardous waste program runs through the South Shore Recycling Cooperative. JUNKRUN is based in Melrose and serves it.
- County and population
- Plymouth County. 61,217 residents (2020 U.S. Census (Census Bureau QuickFacts for Plymouth town, Plymouth County)).
- Neighborhoods
- Plymouth Center, North Plymouth, West Plymouth, Manomet, Cedarville, Pinehills, Ellisville, Chiltonville, Federal Furnace, White Horse Beach, Redbrook
- Homes
- The town's 2017 Open Space and Recreation Plan describes large residential developments, most often large-lot single-family homes, outside the established village centers, plus higher-density village centers and the Pinehills, a planned community with its own sewage plant. The town's trash page treats apartments and multi-family complexes separately, with shared dumpsters and carts.
- Seasonal notes
- Plymouth sits on pine barren and coastal plain with 36 miles of shoreline. Winter matters for junk: the town's dumpster rules pull street containers before a plowable storm of 2 inches or more, and the town ended curbside trash and recycling on July 1, 2018, so everything moves by private hauler or by your own vehicle to Beaver Dam Road.
- Access and parking
- Plymouth runs no curbside trash: homeowners hire a licensed private hauler or carry trash in orange PAYT bags to the Manomet Transfer Station with a vehicle permit, tracked by license plate. A dumpster that sits in the street needs a DPW street obstruction permit issued to the dumpster owner, with 72 hours for review. Short-term rentals register with Public Health ($50 annual fee since Jan. 1, 2024).
