What the town says and does not say
The town's Transfer Station, Recycling and DPW pages do not mention Christmas trees. What they do say is brush, limit 1 cubic yard (2 barrels), no charge and, per the Recycling page, excess or larger diameter brush is not accepted. Whether a whole or cut tree counts as brush is not stated, so ask. Checked November 2026: no 2027 dates are posted.
The station is open Wednesday through Sunday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and a sticker or single-trip pass is required.
Getting a tree to fit
Strip the lights, hooks, tinsel and stand, and cut the tree down to pieces that fit a barrel. The town's limit is for branches 6 inches in diameter or smaller; a thick trunk is a question for the gatehouse.
The town asks you to bring yard waste without bags, so do not leave a tree in a plastic tree bag. Brush that exceeds the limit has to go elsewhere; the town names Cape Resources, 280 Falmouth Road in Marstons Mills, 508-428-2613, for larger brush. Call them to ask about trees and fees.
When you would rather not haul it
The station is closed Monday and Tuesday, and you need a sticker or a $25 pass to get in. JUNKRUN takes a tree from the living room with other holiday debris, boxes and packaging: a quarter trailer $209, a half $319, with a $159 minimum, no travel fee. Send a photo and the floor it is on.
Dated rules to check before you go
These are the dates the town has posted, checked November 2026: the DPW lists the Transfer Station closed Thursday, December 24, 2026, Friday, December 25, Thursday, December 31 and Friday, January 1, 2027, and open Saturday, December 26 and Saturday, January 2. The brochure says half-day on Christmas Eve, so confirm with the gate at 508-477-3056. The town has not posted a tree-collection schedule for January 2027.
