Move-out and rental turnover junk removal, Provincetown

Tenants, sticker and the rental agreement

The DPW accepts a rental agreement as proof of residency for the $25 annual sticker, with a vehicle registration. A year-round or seasonal tenant can qualify. The town's rental page defines a long-term rental as a room or unit rented for year-round and/or seasonal use and a short-term rental as 31 consecutive days or less.

Visitors pay $2 to $4 per bag at the station, per the town's page, though the regulation limits residential waste to what is generated in town. Landlords and managers with lodging use need their own annual sticker, $75 per vehicle.

What curbside takes and what a changeover leaves

Curbside is two 32-gallon containers of refuse and two recycling bins per weekly pickup, set out the evening before after 6 p.m. Recycling must be loose in the barrel (the guide is dated April 2019), and recycling in plastic bags will not be picked up according to the town guide.

A unit that has just changed hands usually leaves a mattress, bagged linens, broken patio chairs, a bike and a rug. Mattresses are $35 to $50 at the station, bikes $5, and furniture is not priced. In summer a Saturday changeover has no time to go to Race Point Road; the station is open seven days from May to October, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., but that still means one trip with no help carrying.

Same-day option

JUNKRUN loads the unit and sweeps out the porch the same day when the schedule allows. Flat prices: twin mattress $89, queen $109, regular dresser $99, bike or small item priced from the $159 minimum, boxes $11 each. Quarter trailer $209, half $319. No travel fee.

Send photos before the keys change hands. If the lease says cleaning is on the tenant, say so, and we will quote the move-out as one number. Dead appliances are in the same visit: standard $119, large $149, flat-screen TV $59. A broken bed frame is $109, and the frame, mattress and box spring can all go in one pass.

Move-out day checklist, Provincetown unit

  • Break down boxes and flatten them; recycling has a 3-foot by 3-foot cardboard limit in the town guide.
  • Keep recycling loose in the barrel, with no plastic bags of any kind.
  • Put trash in the barrel only the evening before pickup, not before 6 p.m.
  • Photograph any furniture or mattress left by prior tenants so you are not charged for it.
  • Take paint, cleaners and fuel to the Barnstable County collection, not to the trash.
  • Book a hauler for mattresses, couches and appliances.
