Televisions, computer monitors and other electronics are kept out of the trash and out of the bulky allowance, and the city's e-waste sticker program ended in 2020. Residents pay a published per-item rate at the Convenience Center, and the city's mattress contractor HandUp also takes flat screen televisions and computer monitors and towers on a scheduled pickup for a fee.
City cost & eligibility
From $10 per item at the City Convenience Center, with computer monitors, televisions under 21 inches, keyboards, mice and computer towers at the entry rate and larger televisions at higher published rates, and the HandUp pickup quoted separately. Taunton residents. The city retired its e-waste sticker program and residents now pay the established rates to dispose of electronic waste at the Convenience Center.
When & how
The Convenience Center takes electronics Wednesday and Friday from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. A HandUp pickup is booked for a chosen date alongside its mattress service.
Get it ready
Keep televisions, monitors and other electronics out of the trash and out of the bulky pile, wipe personal data before any handover, and check the screen size before the trip because the television rate steps up with the size of the set.
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.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
