What Dennis runs, and what it leaves to you
Dennis does not have a general dump you can drive to any day. The town's Transfer Station and recycling center is at the end of Theophilus Smith Road in South Dennis, open Wednesday through Sunday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is closed Monday and Tuesday, and the recycling guide adds legal holidays, Easter and the day after Thanksgiving.
Trash goes in with a pass or by the bag. The 2026/2027 primary pass is $210, and a bag or barrel without a pass is $15 for the first 33 gallons and $6 for each extra. The pages we read describe no town curbside trash route. The Health Department does license refuse collectors at $130, so private hauling exists alongside the station.
Anything bulky is charged at the gate, item by item, and the station says no pass is required for those fees. That is the main thing to plan around: a house of furniture is a long list of small fees and a lot of trips.
Five villages, mostly owner-occupied homes
The town comprises the villages of Dennis Port, Dennis Village (North Dennis), East Dennis, South Dennis and West Dennis. The town spans the width of Cape Cod, so a bayside house off Route 6A and a Dennis Port cottage near Nantucket Sound are on different sides of Route 6 and Route 28.
The Census counts 14,674 residents in 2020. About 78.9% of homes are owner-occupied, with a median value of $627,100 in 2020-2024. The town's sticker rules also name seasonal condominiums, cottage colonies and year-round renters, and its Health Department requires a signed trash affidavit from short-term rental owners.
We haul from basements, garages, cottage porches and sheds with no stair fee. Tell us where a trailer can park on your lane, and which village the job is in.
Where JUNKRUN fits
Use the Transfer Station for one or two items on a Wednesday to Sunday you are free. Call us when the list is long, the item is heavy, the dates are tight, or the week is a Monday or Tuesday. We load a mixed pile in one visit and carry from wherever it sits.
Flat prices: a quarter trailer $209, a half $319, three-quarters $409 and a full trailer $519, with a $159 minimum. A sofa is $139 and a standard appliance $119. No travel fee in Dennis. You pay JUNKRUN by card, Zelle or Venmo.
Hazardous leftovers do not go on a trailer. Barnstable County runs the collections at Tony Kent Arena, 8 South Gages Way, and the 2027 dates are not posted yet. Our household hazardous waste page has the details.

What a pickup in Dennis looks like.
- Where
- Dennis is a Cape Cod town in Barnstable County that spans the width of the Cape, with Cape Cod Bay to the north, Nantucket Sound to the south, Yarmouth to the west, Harwich to the southeast and Brewster to the northeast. U.S. Route 6, Route 6A, Route 28 and Route 134 all cross it. JUNKRUN is based in Melrose and serves it.
- County and population
- Barnstable County. 14,674 residents (2020 U.S. Census (Census Bureau QuickFacts, Dennis town, Barnstable County)).
- Neighborhoods
- Dennis Port, Dennis Village (North Dennis), East Dennis, South Dennis, West Dennis
- Homes
- Owner-occupied homes are 78.9% of occupied housing and the median owner-occupied home value was $627,100 in 2020-2024 (Census QuickFacts). The town's own sticker rules name year-round renters, seasonal condominiums and cottage colonies, and short-term rentals need a Health Department occupancy certificate and a signed trash affidavit, so cleanouts here are often a cottage, a rental turnover or a seasonal condo rather than a year-round family house.
- Seasonal notes
- The Transfer Station keeps one posted schedule (Wednesday to Sunday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and the town pages list no separate winter or summer hours. It is closed on legal holidays, Easter and the day after Thanksgiving, so holiday weeks and Monday-Tuesday turnovers have no town drop-off.
- Access and parking
- Transfer Station access is by license-plate reader, not a windshield sticker: the town says the station "has moved to a sticker less, license plate reading system". Without a pass, household trash is $15 for the first 33-gallon bag or barrel and $6 for each extra. The town pages we read give no dumpster or roll-off permit rule, so call the Building Department at (508) 760-6157 and the Health Department at (508) 760-6158 before placing a container.
Landmarks: Tony Kent Arena, Route 6A Dennis Village historic district, Sesuit Harbor, Dennis Port beaches on Nantucket Sound.
