What Dennis requires from a rental owner

Short-term rentals in Dennis need a Health Department certificate and a trash plan. The fee schedule lists a short-term rental occupancy certificate at $500 and a long-term one at $100 (FY-2026). The owner also signs an affidavit saying how trash leaves the house: picked up immediately after occupancy is concluded or once per week, whichever is more frequent, either by the owner or agent, or by a licensed and contracted refuse hauler.

The form adds that using the Transfer Station requires a fee, either with a sticker or individual bag fees. So a changeover bag run costs $15 for the first bag and $6 for each more, unless the owner has a pass.

Saturday changeovers and the station calendar

A Saturday-to-Saturday turnover fits the station well: it is open Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. It does not fit Monday or Tuesday, when the Transfer Station is closed. A guest who leaves a mattress, a broken chair or a grill on Sunday night will still be there Wednesday morning.

Bulky leftovers carry gate fees: a mattress or box spring $30 each, a couch $15, a TV $15, a refrigerator $10. Those are paid per piece at the station, no pass needed. If the changeover is a closed cottage at the end of the season, the pile is bigger: bedding, mattresses, cookware, a porch set and the fridge.

A turnover crew without a truck

JUNKRUN comes for the leftovers between guests or after the last booking. Flat prices: a quarter trailer $209, a half $319, three-quarters $409 and a full trailer $519, $159 minimum. A twin mattress is $89, a queen $109, a standard appliance $119. No travel fee in Dennis Port, West Dennis, South Dennis, East Dennis or Dennis Village.

A property manager can text the address and window for each job. We carry out from the porch, shed and basement and leave the cottage ready to clean. You pay by card, Zelle or Venmo, and we do not take hazardous waste or leave a container.
