Couch and sofa removal in Provincetown, MA

What the town says about furniture

Provincetown's solid waste regulation names furniture directly. The legal disposal of any special waste, including motor oil, antifreeze, tree stumps, demolition debris, and furniture, is the responsibility of the property owner or occupant. The curbside program is for household trash, recyclables, newspaper, and cardboard, and the Swap Shop says no clothing or furniture at this time.

The fee schedule has lines for TVs, appliances and mattresses but none for a sofa. Whether the station accepts one in the household trash stream is not posted. Ask the attendant at 508-487-7076 before you tie a couch to a roof rack.

Leaving a couch outside costs you

Streets here are narrow and the town enforces cleanliness. The Board of Health nuisance rules list the accumulation of rubbish, disused furniture, mattresses and appliances on a lot or yard that may harbor mice, rats or vermin as a specific nuisance, and the Board can order it removed within twenty-four hours at the owner's cost. If the owner does not comply, the regulation lets the Board remove it and bill the expense as a debt due to the town.

A couch stored on a porch or at the side of a house can fall under that rule.

Donate or haul

Reuse is possible only for sofas in clean, usable condition. The Habitat for Humanity Cape Cod ReStore lists upholstered furniture in new or excellent condition with no stains, damage or odor, and it declines sofa beds. Its stores are in South Yarmouth and Falmouth, so it is a drive from the Outer Cape. Provincetown's Swap Shop will not take a couch either.

For everything else JUNKRUN's flat prices are: sofa $139, loveseat $89, recliner $89, sleeper sofa $189, sectional $109 per piece. No travel fee, and we carry from upstairs and basements.

  1. Check condition

    Clean, no odor, no stains: ask the ReStore or the thrift shop. Anything else is a disposal job.
