A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

Filled bags and boxes

Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.

Empty cardboard and containers

Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.

Furniture and other larger items

Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Bulky items and household junk

Accepted with preparation

Taunton takes one bulky item per week from each residential unit that is in the city program, and the regulation's examples are upholstered chairs, furniture and sofas. Mattresses, box springs, white goods, bulk metal, televisions, computer monitors, sofa beds and recliners are all carved out of that allowance.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Residential structures of up to four units in the city program, with one bulky item per week per unit alongside an official pay-as-you-throw set out. The city may require bulky item stickers later to offset the cost.
When & how
Put the item at the curb on the normal trash day, because trash is collected weekly and recycling runs every other week on that same day.
Get it ready
One item per week only, with no mattress, box spring, white goods, bulk metal, television, monitor, sofa bed or recliner in the pile. Material that is not collected has to leave the curb by 7:00 p.m. on the day after collection or the resident can be fined.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Trash only leaves the curb in official city bags

Household trash goes out in official City of Taunton pay-as-you-throw bags, closed or tied and not over 50 pounds, and closed bags may sit inside a plastic or metal barrel of no more than 35 gallons with the loaded barrel also staying under 50 pounds. Barrels need handles or handholds and a top diameter no smaller than the rest of the barrel, and bags may not be tied to the barrel. The city does not sell the bags directly, so residents buy them from the approved retailers in the city, and waste that is not in an official bag is not collected.

One bulky item per week, and the carve-outs are strict

The city collects a single bulky item per week from each residential unit that has a pay-as-you-throw set out, and the item leaves on the normal trash day. A mattress, a box spring, white goods, bulk metal, a television, a computer monitor, a sofa bed and a recliner are all outside that allowance and need one of the other routes, so a pile built from the wrong categories will not be taken.

Recycling runs every other week on the same day as trash

The city is split into an A week and a B week and each half sets recycling out every other week on its normal trash day, which the city publishes in a collection schedule listing the addresses. Recycling is single stream, so paper, cardboard and commingled containers can share the cart, but the material goes in loose and clean rather than in plastic bags, and a cart holding mixed waste and recyclables is not collected. One cart comes free with the service and extra carts are available from the Department of Public Works at 90 Ingell Street.

No charge. Included with curbside collection for a residential unit that sets out official city pay-as-you-throw bags, limited to one bulky item per week per unit.
Arrange it
Put the single item at the curb on the normal trash day. No appointment is published for an ordinary bulky item.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Taunton's own routes are the curb, so most items either go out with the trash in official city bags or wait for the bulky item day, and the carve-outs are what send a household to the Convenience Center on East Britannia. That drop-off is open Wednesday and Friday from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, takes mattresses and box springs, televisions and computer monitors, Freon and non-Freon white goods, bulk metal, tires, batteries, propane tanks, yard waste and recycling, and publishes a per-item rate sheet with payment by cash, check, money order or credit card. A mattress or box spring has a second route, because the city's contractor HandUp collects them at the curb on a booked date for a fee per unit and refuses water damaged, heavily soiled, moldy or infested units. Renovation debris is the one material with no city route at all: the regulations exclude construction, demolition and remodeling material, heavy machinery and bagged waste outside the official city bags, so that load needs a private container quoted by the company that supplies it.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Taunton.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Taunton?

A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.

What can go out as a bulky item in Taunton?

Upholstered chairs, furniture and sofas are the published examples, one item per week from a residential unit with an official pay-as-you-throw set out. Sofa beds, recliners, mattresses, box springs, white goods, bulk metal, televisions and computer monitors are all carved out and need another route.Official guidance

Who collects trash and bulky items in Taunton?

The City of Taunton Department of Public Works runs the program with its collection contractor Republic Services, and residents reach the department at 508-821-1431 at 90 Ingell Street. Trash is collected weekly in official city pay-as-you-throw bags, recycling every other week on the same day, and one bulky item per week is allowed from a residential unit that has a bag set out.Official guidance

How many bulky items can go out at once?

One item per week from each residential unit that sets out official city pay-as-you-throw bags, and only for buildings of up to four units. A mattress, a box spring, a sofa bed, a recliner, white goods, bulk metal, a television or a computer monitor does not count against that item because none of them is accepted in the bulky pile.Official guidance

What bags do I need for curbside trash in Taunton?

Official City of Taunton orange pay-as-you-throw bags, which the city does not sell directly. Approved retailers in the city sell them, and waste left at the curb outside those bags is not collected apart from a permitted bulky item, a scheduled white goods or yard waste collection, and the dumpster service that is part of the municipal contract.Official guidance
