Mattress removal in Provincetown, MA
Station fee by size
The solid waste fee schedule prices mattresses and box springs on one line per size: twin $35, full $40, queen $45, king $50, crib mattress $20. The schedule says these items are charged to all user categories, so a resident with a sticker pays the same as a business. The schedule has one line per size for "Mattress or Boxspring", so ask the attendant how a full set is charged. The station's accepted list shows mattresses with the note that fees apply, and the fee schedule says the charge is the same for every user category.
The town's recycling page lists mattresses and box springs at the transfer station with fees applying. Bring it to 90 Race Point Road, Tuesday to Saturday in the cold months and seven days from May to October, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The state ban and the curb
MassDEP's guide says mattresses are banned from disposal or transport for disposal in Massachusetts. A mattress cannot go into the town trash barrel, and the Board of Health lists an accumulation of disused furniture and mattresses on a property as a specific nuisance if it harbors vermin or becomes a fire risk.
The Board can order a nuisance removed within twenty-four hours, so a mattress stored outdoors is worth moving early.
Station or private pickup
The station route needs a Provincetown sticker, a vehicle and a carry down the stairs by you. Stickers are $25 annually. A rental guest has no sticker.
JUNKRUN prices by size, recycling included: twin $89, full $99, queen $109, king $129. A queen set with its box spring is $188. We carry from upstairs bedrooms and Cape half-stories, with no travel fee. Text a photo with the size and floor. A bed frame is $109 and a frame with headboard $129, and we can take the whole bed in one visit. Donation is closed off too: the Habitat Cape Cod ReStore lists mattresses and box springs as items it does not accept.
