Recycling in Taunton, MA

Taunton’s City Convenience Center on East Britannia Street takes mattresses and box springs ($35 each), TVs and computer equipment, appliances, tires, lead acid batteries, metal and cardboard for set fees. Mattresses are no longer picked up as bulk waste; HandUp collects them curbside for $35 per unit, while sofas and furniture still go out with city curbside bulk collection (one item per week).
