Junk Removal in Middleboro, MA

In Middleboro, the town's curbside carts take bagged household rubbish and recycling, and that's it. Furniture, carpet, appliances, TVs, metal and construction material all have to go to the town landfill on Plympton Street, where fees apply.

Family-owned, licensed and insured, with 5+ years hauling junk on the South Shore.

What Middleboro properties need

Middleborough, the official spelling, is the second-largest town in Massachusetts by area after Plymouth: about 72 square miles and roughly 24,200 people (2020 census). The town that calls itself the Cranberry Capital of the World still has working bogs, farms and big lots, plus the village streets of the town center and South Middleboro. I-495 and Routes 18, 28, 44 and 105 all cross town, and the far end of a Middleboro job can be a long drive from the near end.

Big lots fill up: barns and sheds, a garage of tools and mowers, scrap metal behind the house, an old above-ground pool. None of it goes in a cart. Inside, it's estates and downsizing: a family house emptied before a sale, a basement that has been the overflow for decades.

Contractors and small businesses need to know one more rule: the town's curbside service covers properties with up to three residential units and takes no business, commercial or industrial rubbish. If you run a shop, an office or a crew in Middleboro, you need your own hauling. We do scheduled and recurring pickups for exactly that, plus one-off construction debris pickups.

Middleboro's carts, the landfill and the permit (and when you need a hauler)

Middleboro's curbside service (rules effective January 1, 2023) gives town carts to owners of properties with up to three residential units who pay the DPW a quarterly fee; homes on private ways or in the bag-only program use Town bags in barrels. Only bagged rubbish in the cart with the lid closed gets picked up. The town's list of what its Sanitation Division won't collect includes furniture, carpet, metals, appliances, air conditioners, TVs, tires, fencing and construction material, sheetrock, brush and paint.

Those items go to the town landfill at 207 Plympton Street, for Middleboro residents only, where restrictions or a fee may apply. A landfill permit costs $30 at the DPW on Sachem Street. Under the town's landfill regulations effective January 1, 2024, it covers 12 visits a calendar year, and loads after that are charged by weight with a half-ton minimum. Bulky item fees (TVs, computers, furniture, appliances, tires, car batteries, propane tanks) are paid at the landfill by credit card only. Even overflow household trash has to be in a Town bag and driven there.

Massachusetts has banned mattresses and textiles from the trash since November 1, 2022, on top of appliances, screens, tires, metal and clean construction materials, so every load has to be sorted. We sort it so each piece goes where it's allowed. We don't take hazardous waste: the Middleboro DPW holds a household hazardous waste day once a year (the 2026 event was October 10) for oil-based paint, solvents and chemicals.
