Junk removal in Provincetown, Massachusetts
NO SURPRISES.
This page is for hiring JUNKRUN in Provincetown: prices, what we take, how booking works. For what the town itself does, see Provincetown bulky item pickup rules, Leaf and yard waste in Provincetown, MA, Christmas tree pickup in Provincetown, MA, Provincetown Transfer Station.
What the town picks up and what it doesn't
The town provides curbside residential trash and recycling pick-up to all single-family homes and to apartments and condominiums with eight or fewer units. The Board of Health regulation sets the limit at two 32-gallon containers of refuse and two 32-gallon recycling bins per weekly pickup, put out the evening before, not before 6:00 PM. Timeshare condos and commercial guest houses are outside the town route, and there is no curbside pick-up for brush.
The same regulation puts the disposal of furniture on the owner: it lists furniture, demolition debris and tree stumps as the responsibility of the property owner or occupant. A couch left at the curb is not on the town route. Call the Transfer Station at 508-487-7076 before you drag anything to Race Point Road.
Streets, villages and the East End to West End run
Pickup day follows the street. The town's schedule puts Commercial Street numbers 1-155 on Thursday, 157-314 on Wednesday, 315-461 on Tuesday and 463-968 on Monday so two houses on the same street can be on different days. Bayberry and Blueberry Avenues, Kimberly Lane and Pilgrim Heights Road are Friday. The town's recycling guide names an East End Playground and a West End Playground.
Narrow lanes off Commercial Street, Bradford Street and Shank Painter Road decide where a trailer can stand. Tell us which lane and whether the cottage has a gate. Prices are flat: sofa $139, regular dresser $99, quarter trailer $209, half trailer $319, with no travel fee.
Summer and off-season: three calendars
The transfer station runs two schedules. October to April it is open Tuesday to Saturday, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.; May to October it is open Monday to Sunday, same hours. The town page lists both ranges for October, so call 508-487-7076 for the switch date. Curbside holidays also split: from Memorial Day to Labor Day trash is picked up on holidays; after Labor Day holidays are observed.
Winter has a third wrinkle. There is no trash pick-up on Thanksgiving or the day after, and the town moves those routes. JUNKRUN works every day, including the weeks when the station is closed Sunday and Monday.

- Homes
- The town's own pages describe single-family homes, apartments and condominiums of eight units or fewer on the curbside route, timeshares and guest houses outside it, and long-term (year-round or seasonal) versus short-term (31 days or less) rental certificates. No housing counts are quoted here because none were verified from the Census or the town.

- Provincetown's town calendars split by season: the Transfer Station is open seven days May to October and Tuesday to Saturday October to April, and curbside holidays are collected as scheduled between Memorial Day and Labor Day but observed after Labor Day.
- Access and parking
- Residential trash and recycling go to the curb in lidded barrels of 32 gallons or less, labeled with the address, the evening before pickup and not before 6 p.m. Private ways open to the public are served only if the town has approved them. Sanitation workers do not enter private property. The nearest dump is the Transfer Station at 90 Race Point Road.
