Junk Removal in Lakeville, MA

Lakeville's transfer station on Kenneth Welch Drive is open four days a week, needs a $70 sticker on every vehicle, and that sticker is not valid for clean-out companies. Count On Me! does junk removal in Lakeville MA from Assonet, the next town over: Freetown and Lakeville share a border and a school district. Call or text us a photo, get an accurate price before any work begins, and we carry it out, load it and sweep up. Family-owned, licensed and insured, with 5+ years hauling junk on the South Shore.

What Lakeville properties need

Lakeville is about 11,500 people (2020 census) on roughly 36 square miles, and more than six of those square miles are water: Assawompset, Long Pond, Great and Little Quittacas and Pocksha. Homes spread out along Routes 18, 79, 105 and 140, many at the end of long driveways or set back on wooded lots. So a Lakeville clean-out is mostly about the carry: from the back of the lot, the shed, the garage or the basement to the truck.

Ponds and woods bring their own kind of junk: a hot tub that stopped working, a shed rotting from the floor up, an old deck, a swing set the kids outgrew, brush piles after a storm. These are tear-out-and-haul jobs, and the transfer station charges for them piece by piece after you've already done the hard part yourself.

Inside the house it's the usual: a basement of furniture, an estate to empty before a sale, a garage nobody has parked in for years. We clear it in one visit, set aside what you're keeping, and pull out what can be donated.

Lakeville's transfer station rules (and when to call a hauler)

Lakeville's town trash and recycling run through the Transfer Station at 100 Kenneth Welch Drive, open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Every vehicle needs a sticker, $70 for the first and $10 for a second vehicle in the same household, valid July 1 to June 30. Household trash goes in town bags, sold in five-packs, and you stop at the attendant's shed before you unload.

Bulky items are priced one by one (cash prices; cards add 4%): a sofa or recliner $20, a sleep sofa or sectional $25 plus $15 for each extra sectional piece, a refrigerator $20, TVs $15 to $25 by size with $10 more for a tube TV, a hot tub $75. A recyclable mattress or box spring is $30. One the attendant judges non-recyclable, because it's wet, heavily soiled, moldy or has bed bugs, is $125, and the attendant's call is final.

Three rules push bigger jobs to a hauler: the sticker is not valid for individuals or companies offering clean-out services, commercial plates are limited to household waste and recycling with no bulk disposal, and residents bringing construction debris in a dump truck or large trailer must show a building permit. Brush is capped at four inches across. Massachusetts also bans mattresses, textiles, appliances, screens, tires, metal and clean construction materials from the trash, so every load is sorted. We don't take hazardous waste: oil-based paint and chemicals go to Lakeville's household hazardous waste day for residents at the transfer station.
