Bulky item pickup in Provincetown, MA

Where bulky items go in town

The curbside program takes household trash, recyclables, newspaper, and cardboard. Brush has no curbside route, and the Board of Health lists furniture among the items whose legal disposal is the responsibility of the property owner or occupant. So a dresser or a table goes to the station yourself or to a hauler.

The station sits at 90 Race Point Road. It is open Tuesday to Saturday from October to April and seven days from May to October, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Swap Shop beside it takes household goods, toys and books but no clothing or furniture at this time.

What the fee schedule prices

The fee schedule names the items that carry a charge, and a sofa, dresser or table is not among them. It does price dishwashers, stoves, washers and dryers at $20 each, toilets and sinks at $10, a furnace or hot water heater at $35 and bicycles at $5. Mattresses and box springs run $20 to $50 by size.

Because furniture has no line, the safe step is a call to 508-487-7076 before loading a truck. The schedule also says the decision of the transfer station attendant is final.

Who can use the station

The station is for Provincetown. All residential trash, recyclables, and brush must be generated from within the Town of Provincetown, and the annual sticker is $25 for residents and property owners, bought online or at the DPW office, 2 Mayflower Street, Monday to Thursday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., with proof of residency and vehicle registration.

A mainland owner clearing a second home needs a Provincetown sticker or a local hauler. JUNKRUN loads from the porch or basement and carries it all, any day, with flat prices: dresser $99, bookcase $79, quarter trailer $209.

Before you load a bulky item for Race Point Road

  • Do you hold a current Provincetown sticker? Purchase online or at 2 Mayflower Street, Monday to Thursday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
  • Is the item on the fee schedule (mattress, appliance, TV, bicycle, toilet, water heater)? If not, call 508-487-7076 first.
  • Is it Sunday or Monday between October and April? The station is closed.
  • Does the item have refrigerant, oil or fuel? Ask before bringing it.
  • Is the load covered and secured? The regulation requires it.
  • Is the item furniture in usable shape? The Swap Shop takes household goods and not furniture, so look at the thrift shop or ReStore instead.
