Scrap metal removal in Taunton: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.

Reviewed · Sources below

Bulk metal

Special rules apply

Bulk metal is the city's term for recyclable metal too large for the commingled recycling sort, such as a gas grill with the tank removed, a metal barrel or a bicycle. It is not part of the bulky allowance, so it goes to the Convenience Center or onto the contractor appointment route that runs one day a month.

City cost & eligibility
From $8 per metal item such as a mower, grill, microwave or bicycle at the City Convenience Center, with the curbside appointment route quoted by the contractor. Taunton residents. Bulk metal may also be placed at the curb one day per month by appointment with the city contractor where the contractor provides that collection.
When & how
The Convenience Center takes metal Wednesday and Friday from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and the curbside appointment runs one day per month.
Get it ready
Remove and keep the propane tank from a gas grill, because a tank is a separate charged item, and keep metal out of the commingled cart unless it is a small can, pan or piece of foil.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

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.

City of Taunton Department of Public Works, Republic Services and HandUp

Drop the item at the city Convenience Center

A household that would rather drive a mattress, a television, a white good, metal item, tire or yard waste to the city drop-off on its open days.

Cost & conditions
The city publishes a per-item rate sheet for the Convenience Center and changes it by item type and size, so confirm the rate for the specific item before loading a vehicle.
Arrange it
Take the material to the Convenience Center on East Britannia during its published hours, and unload it yourself, because the site is self-service and allows no scavenging.

Payment is by cash, check, money order or credit card, vehicles are subject to load inspection, and construction, demolition and remodeling debris, liquid waste such as acids and pool chemicals, and material the regulations exclude cannot be dropped there.

Open the Convenience Center rate sheet

City of Taunton Department of Public Works, Republic Services and HandUp

Schedule the monthly white goods and bulk metal appointment

A household with a refrigerator, washer, dryer, air conditioner or another white good, or with bulk metal such as a gas grill with the tank removed.

Cost & conditions
The city publishes no price for the monthly appointment route, which the contractor provides where it offers the collection, so confirm the fee and the date by phone.
Arrange it
Call the city's collection contractor to schedule the one day per month appointment, then place the unit at the curb for that date.

The regulation makes the appointment conditional on the contractor providing the collection, so the route is not guaranteed for every address or every month, and the item cannot simply go out with the weekly trash.

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.

Scrap metal removal, from your photo request to the pickup plan in Taunton.

How do I request a scrap metal pickup quote?

Text photos to (844) 879-0892 with your ZIP code, approximate amount and access details. Show the whole pile and a closer view of the material. Our team will confirm the scope, quote and scheduling.

Do you buy scrap metal or pick it up for free?

This is a request for a paid removal quote, not a scrap-buying or free-collection offer. If you want to sell metal, ask a local recycler about its accepted materials and delivery requirements.

How much does scrap metal removal cost?

This service uses a custom quote. Send photos, the approximate amount, your ZIP code and access details. Our team confirms the scope and price before booking; there is no fixed-price catalog item for this pile.

Can you collect it today?

Tell our team your preferred day when you request the quote. Timing depends on the material, amount and access, and is confirmed with your quote. Sending photos does not reserve same-day pickup.

Can I put a grill or other metal item out for pickup?

Bulk metal such as a gas grill with the tank removed, a metal barrel or a bicycle is not part of the weekly bulky allowance. It goes to the Convenience Center at the published metal item rate, or onto the contractor route that runs one day per month by appointment, so confirm which route you are using before the item leaves the property.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

What does the Convenience Center take, and what does it cost?

It takes mattresses and box springs, televisions and computer monitors, Freon and non-Freon white goods, metal items, tires, batteries, propane tanks, waste oil, clothing and textiles, yard waste and single stream recycling, and it publishes a per-item rate sheet rather than one gate price. Payment is by cash, check, money order or credit card, so confirm the rate for the exact item before loading a vehicle.Official guidance
