What the town says about bulky trash

Under Special & Bulky Trash, the town writes that household clean-outs and renovations can produce bulky items such as appliances and computers It sends residents to their hauler first: in many cases the hauler will pick up bulky items from your curb for an additional fee Call the hauler's office for specifics. The town keeps a list of licensed private haulers on its site, and since July 1, 2018 there is no town curbside service to fall back on.

The second route is the Manomet Transfer Station. The same page says fees are charged for some items and payable by cash or check at the time of disposal. Without a permit you cannot enter: the station fines vehicles that enter unenrolled.

Fees on bulky items at Manomet

The town's A to Z disposal guide lists the add-on fees. At the Manomet station: washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers and microwaves $10 each; refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers $20 for freon removal; TVs and computer monitors $15; propane tanks $2. Water heaters, grills, lawn mowers and bicycles go to the scrap metal pile with no fee listed.

The guide marks tires as 'fees apply' without a price, so call 508-830-4162 ext. 12100. The guide also lists Manomet fees as check or money order only. Open days at the station are Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday.

Furniture, carpet and wood: pay by weight

Furniture, carpet, wood, concrete, roofing shingles, toilets and sinks sit in the guide's 'Hard to Manage' column with a 'pay by weight' note. That is the Republic Services facility at 354 Beaver Dam Road. It is open Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. You do not need a town trash permit to use it. Mattresses and box springs are weight plus $75 each, and the facility takes checks or credit and debit only.

The Swap Shop in Cedarville does not take the big pieces: its accepted-items sheet lists large furniture and large appliances as not accepted.

Where JUNKRUN fits

The town's routes split a typical cleanout across a hauler, two facilities, and two sets of open days. JUNKRUN removes it in one visit and carries from the garage, basement or back bedroom. Pricing is by volume: quarter trailer $209, half $319, three-quarters $409, full trailer $519, with a $159 minimum. Single items have set prices too: a couch from $139, a regular dresser $99, a standard appliance $119 with refrigerant recovery included.

No travel fee anywhere in Plymouth, including the Pinehills, Manomet and White Horse Beach. Text a photo for a firm number before we arrive.

Getting a bulky item out of Plymouth without a hauler

  1. Check what it is

  2. Check your permit

    Manomet needs a town vehicle permit (FY27 full year $190, 30 days $30). The pay-by-weight facility does not.

  3. Pick the right day

    Manomet runs Sun, Mon, Tue, Fri, Sat. The facility runs Tue, Thu, Sat, Sun. Only Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday overlap.

  4. Bring the right payment

    A to Z guide: Manomet check or money order only. Facility: check or credit/debit only.

  5. Or skip the trips

    Send JUNKRUN a photo for a flat price, including carrying it out.
