Move-out and rental turnover junk removal in Truro, MA
Registered rentals and who may use the station
No building may be leased or rented residentially for 120 days or fewer until it is registered with the Licensing Agent, and the bylaw names summer homes as its principal subject. The 2026 permit fee is $450, including inspection, filed online. Non-owner-occupied units need annual inspections.
Tenants of registered rentals are eligible for Transfer Station stickers at non-resident rates. For a week-long stay the schedule lists a $30 weekly permit, valid seven days. It needs a lease or written permission from the owner, a vehicle registration and a driver's license, and a permit is attached to specific vehicles, so a cleaning crew's van needs its own paperwork.
What gets left behind at a turnover
Common leftovers are a worn mattress, a broken beach chair, a cooler, a grill and a couch from a summer rental. At the Transfer Station, soft furniture, box springs and mattresses are $50 each, a TV is $25, and wooden furniture is refused. The permit's limit of four bags of 32 gallons or less per entry does not stretch to a whole unit.
The town pages list no town pickup, so the choices are a permitted vehicle, a private trash hauler or a flat-price crew. Owners who also close the house for the season can add the mattress, a rolled rug and the patio set to the same visit.
Flat prices for a turnover
JUNKRUN prices the load, not the hour: quarter $209, half $319, three-quarter $409, full $519, $159 minimum. A mattress is $99 for a full, $109 for a queen. A couch is $139.
We carry from the sunroom, the cellar and the outdoor shower shed. Send a photo before the changeover and we quote one price; there is no travel fee to Truro or North Truro, and the price is the same any day. Pay by card, Zelle or Venmo. Send the checkout date with your photo and we confirm what we can do.
