Bulky item pickup in Yarmouth: the town fee and the easier way

Bulky household items including a bookcase, folding table and boxes at the edge of a Cape Cod driveway

The town fee, item by item

The Waste Management fee list (updated Feb 4, 2026) puts bulky items at $25 each. The Disposal Area regulations are more specific: box springs, upholstered furniture and large bulky items are $25 per item, mattresses $35, refrigerators and air conditioners $18, and CRT televisions and monitors $15. A bookcase, a table and a rolled rug are three items.

You pay at the Scale House, in the middle of the facility, by cash, check or credit card. The Scale House sits straight ahead from the main gate, bearing right just before the fueling station. Loads charged by weight go over the scale, and use of the scales is $5.

Rules that catch people at the gate

Every load must be covered, and the regulations say no dump picking. Anything from outside town is a problem: all waste must originate in Yarmouth unless a non-resident sticker is bought. Trucks over 10,000 pounds gross weight must be lettered and numbered to use the scale.

The town page for visitors adds that household trash and recycling still need a sticker, a coupon or the $15 pay-per-trip receipt, shown to the gate attendant, before you reach the roll-offs. Expect crowds: staff recommend avoiding weekdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m..

Where the town stops and we start

The Disposal Area is the only town option. It does not carry furniture out of a bedroom, load a truck, or come to the house. JUNKRUN does all three. A sofa, a dresser and a bag of boxes are priced as a load: a quarter trailer $209, a half $319, three-quarters $409, a full trailer $519, with a $159 minimum. Single big items can be priced by the piece, such as a couch at $139.

If you would rather sell or give it away, the Habitat ReStore in South Yarmouth takes furniture and building materials in excellent condition.
