Bulky item pickup in Truro, MA

What the Transfer Station charges per item

The August 2025 fee schedule sets item fees at the gate: $50 for soft furniture, box springs and mattresses, $25 for a TV or computer monitor, $30 for white goods and other large metal objects, $25 for a residential toilet, $10 for a tire and $15 for a composter. Rechargeable batteries, fluorescent bulbs, computer parts and motor oil go in the free areas.

The station is open to permitted vehicles only. A trip also means getting a heavy item into a pickup or van yourself, and a permit allows four bags of 32 gallons or less per entry for ordinary trash.

What Truro refuses

The Board of Health's list of items not accepted at the Transfer Station includes wooden furniture such as dining room and particle board pieces, wooden demolition debris like vanities, windows and cabinets, and demolition material from homeowners. That covers a lot of what comes out of a cottage: a pine hutch, a particleboard desk, an old vanity.

The swap shop beside the station is for reuse and also turns away furniture: furniture of any kind, bedding and mattresses are all on its not-accepted list. A hauler is the practical route for furniture the station will not take.

Flat-price pickup, any day

JUNKRUN prices bulky items by the piece or by trailer space. A regular dresser is $99, a tall bookcase $79, a bed frame $109, a full trailer $519. The minimum pickup is $159.

We carry from sunrooms, cellars and outside sheds, and we take wooden furniture and building leftovers the town does not. There is no travel fee to Truro or North Truro. Pay by card, Zelle or Venmo. Send a photo of the pile and we quote one price before we come. Heavy and awkward pieces count the same as light ones in the quote; the trailer space they fill is what moves the number.

Before you load up for the Truro Transfer Station

  • Check your vehicle is on the permit list: the town runs a license plate lookup from its Transfer Station page.
  • Call 508-349-6339 for current hours; the town page lists nothing after September 10, 2026.
  • Count your bags: four bags of 32 gallons or less per entry.
  • Separate wooden furniture and demolition material: the station refuses both.
  • Ask how the gate takes payment for per-item fees when you call.
  • Wear shoes that cover your whole foot: the regulations ban sandals and flip-flops at the station.
