Leaf and yard waste in Dennis, Massachusetts

Leaves and grass: no curbside, no fee with a pass

The Dennis town pages we read describe no curbside leaf collection. Leaves go to the Transfer Station. The Prohibited Materials page says leaves, grass clippings, weeds, garden materials and shrub trimmings, excluding diseased plants, can be recycled, with no fee for pass holders. The guide adds a catch: there is a fee for commercial landscapers.

The town has posted no fall 2026 leaf weeks, as of our check on November 6, 2026. The station also provides screened compost at the same site.

Brush, logs and what costs money

Brush is different from leaves. Shrubbery, logs and branches cut in 4-foot lengths may be recycled for a fee. The fee schedule prices a load: $60 for a pickup truck or trailer of logs, brush and shrubs. Commercial yard waste is weighed and charged by the ton.

Cut limbs to 4 feet, stack them in the bed, and keep them free of trash, rope and bagged leaves. The pages do not say whether a pass changes the brush fee, so confirm at the gate. The station is open Wednesday to Sunday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed holidays, Easter and the day after Thanksgiving.

Pine needles, oak leaves and storm work

A Nor'easter drops branches that no leaf program covers, and pine needles and oak leaves pile up on wooded lots. A cleanup with limbs, a sagging fence panel and old patio furniture is a mixed load.

JUNKRUN hauls brush and yard debris with the rest: a quarter trailer $209, a half $319, three-quarters $409 and a full trailer $519, $159 minimum, boxes and bags $11 each. We take what is piled at the curb or out back of a cottage, no travel fee in any village.
