Eastham Transfer Station: hours, fees and what you can bring

A small Cape Cod transfer station with open roll-off containers, recycling bins and a gray-shingled swap shop building under pitch pines

Hours, closures and the Friday confusion

The 2026-2027 guide says open Saturday-Wednesday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. with Fridays added only from July 3 to September 11 in 2026. The Solid Waste Division page reads Closed Thursday and Friday. One town page still carries last year's Friday dates, July 11 to September 5, so treat the guide as current and call 774-801-0520 if it matters.

Holiday closures in the guide: Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day, Presidents' Day, Easter Sunday and Patriots' Day. This November the station is closed Wednesday, November 11 and reopens Saturday, November 14.

Sticker, entry fee and payment

Stickers are sold at the Sticker Office, 555 Old Orchard Road, Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (call 508-240-5974). Bring the registration for each vehicle; leased and company vehicles need the lease or documents linking you to the business, and trusts should call first. For 2026-2027, the first residential sticker is $140, the second $35 and additional stickers are $140. A commercial sticker is $150 and requires registration as a hauler with the Health Department. Without a sticker, entry is $10 per visit including recycling and up to three 32-gallon trash bags.

The station does not accept credit cards; the Sticker Office does accept cards with a finance fee.

What is accepted, charged or refused

Included with entry: newspaper, mixed paper, cardboard, color-sorted glass, plastic food containers numbered 1 to 7, rigid plastic, grass, leaves and Christmas trees, textiles and scrap metal. Food-scrap composting has its own station. Extra fees apply to furniture, mattresses, appliances, TVs, tires and construction debris. Special waste such as asbestos is not accepted. Brush and stumps are refused. Hazardous products wait for the county collection, covered on the hazardous waste page.

The station is not a place to take a mixed cleanout in one pass. JUNKRUN loads it once at flat trailer prices: ${p:quarter}, ${p:half}, ${p:threeq} or ${p:full}, ${min} minimum, no travel fee.
