Seekonk Public Works Department on Taunton Avenue is the town spot where residents bring household and yard material that won’t fit at the curb. Located at 871 Taunton Ave, it handles local drop-offs and bulky items for Seekonk households. People show up with pickups, trailers, or loose car loads.
It looks like a working town yard - a small office or entrance kiosk, a paved lot with a handful of containers and piles of material, and lanes for pulling up to unload. Drivers will move between spots for recyclables, bulky items, or regular trash, so plan to sort loads as you go. State environmental agencies regulate these places, which means fees and accepted items vary by location. Weekends and spring-cleanup times often have long lines, so expect to wait during peak periods.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have proof of Seekonk residency handy; many towns check ID or a bill before allowing drop-off.
- Pre-sort and secure everything in the truck or trailer - tied-down loads and separated recyclables make the visit faster.
- Try for weekday mornings if possible; weekend mid-days get crowded, especially in spring and fall.
