Seven villages, one town, one dump
Barnstable is made up of seven villages: Barnstable Village, Centerville, Cotuit, Hyannis, Marstons Mills, Osterville and West Barnstable. The Registry of Deeds also lists names people write on mail, such as Cummaquid, Hyannis Port and Marstons Mills, Craigville, Santuit, Wianno and West Hyannis Port. All of them are Barnstable. A pickup in Wianno and a pickup in Cummaquid are the same service at the same price.
Barnstable Village is on the north side along Route 6A and West Barnstable is in the northwest. Cotuit is on a peninsula on the south side, while Osterville has a five-mile Nantucket Sound coastline. Hyannis is the commercial center. Marstons Mills is rural and sits on Route 28, and it is the village that hosts the town's only Transfer Station. A resident of Cotuit drives to Flint Street too.
What the town does and doesn't cover
The Solid Waste Division sells annual permits: $410 for the first, $40 for a second, $100 low income for July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027. A permit covers eight 30-gallon bags of household trash a week and sorted recyclables. Without a permit, owners and year-round tenants pay $10 per bag at the gate.
Large items cost extra either way. The fee schedule lists mattresses and box springs at $40 each when recyclable, $25 for furniture and glass doors, and $15 for any refrigerator or air conditioner. The station is open seven days, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Questions go to the Solid Waste Division at 508-420-2258.
The pages we read describe drop-off, not curbside pickup. If your street has a private hauler, that is a separate contract.
Homes, access and seasonal houses
The town's budget overview says about one-third of the homes in Town are second homes and estimates 150,000 seasonal residents. That shapes the work: closing a Cotuit cottage in October, clearing a Hyannis rental at the end of a lease, emptying an Osterville house for an estate.
Tell us where a trailer can stop and what the carry is; some drives and private roads are tight. We take items from any floor, including basements and attics, with no stair fee.
Sample prices: a three-seat sofa $139, a regular dresser $99, a standard appliance $119, a quarter trailer $209, a half $319. Every quote is one flat number with no travel fee.
