What the town posts, and what it does not

The town's Transfer Station and Public Works pages say nothing about trees. The station accepts yard waste year-round, and the Board of Health's list of items not accepted says no brush or stumps at any time, with brush under 1 inch accepted. A tree trunk is neither small brush nor a stump, so the rules don't settle it.

No curbside tree collection is posted, and the town has not posted 2027 tree dates. As of November 6, 2026, call 508-349-6339 and ask before you load a tree on a vehicle. A permit is still required to enter.

Cutting it down for the station

If the station says to cut it, the one-inch brush limit is the cue: branches under an inch fit its definition of yard waste, trunks do not. Remove the lights, tinsel and stand first, since only plant material is yard waste.

A permit is still needed to enter, and each entry is limited to four bags of 32 gallons or less for ordinary trash, so tree trimmings and household trash are separate loads. If the station says trees are not accepted, the fallback is a hauler, and no cutting is needed at all.

We take the tree and the boxes

After the holidays there is more than a tree: boxes, an artificial tree, wrapping paper bags and the furniture that made room for it. JUNKRUN hauls it in one visit at a flat price: boxes and bags $11 each, a quarter trailer $209, a half $319, minimum $159.

We can take a real tree on any day of the week, with no Transfer Station permit and no cutting. Text a photo of the pile and we reply with one price. Same price in Truro and North Truro. Pay by card, Zelle or Venmo.
