What Eastham requires of rental owners

The Town of Eastham requires all properties that are rented to be registered annually with the Health Department. That includes short-term rentals, with a State registration number. The fee schedule on the town page lists $225 for a studio or one-bedroom short-term rental, $350 for a larger short-term unit, $350 for a seasonal rental and $100 for a year-round rental. You may only apply for a 2027 rental certificate after December 1st, 2026, and the page mentions a January 31 deadline. Call 508-240-5900, ext. 3230.

The page also covers water testing for private-well properties and a rental inspection schedule. It says nothing about trash, so waste is the owner's job.

The Saturday changeover versus the station calendar

The station is open Saturday through Wednesday, so a Saturday checkout can make a same-day run before 3:00 p.m., and a Wednesday departure can too. A Thursday or an off-season Friday cannot. A visitor without a sticker pays the $10 entry, which includes recycling and three 32-gallon bags; that limit is easy to pass after a full week. Mattresses ($50), box springs ($20), upholstered furniture ($20), appliances ($20) and TVs ($15) are charged on top, and the gate takes cash or check only. Propane tanks up to 40 lb are $10 each.

Guests who carry only cards cannot pay at the gate. The Sticker Office takes cards but only Monday to Friday 9 to 1.

End-of-season move-outs and what we take

At the end of a lease or a summer, what stays behind is predictable: a sagging mattress, a broken grill, a cooler, folding chairs, bags of linens and a bundle of boogie boards. Good household goods can go to the Swap Shop on Wednesday, Saturday or Sunday. The rest is a half trailer at $319 or a quarter at $209. We can also take the mattress alone at $109 for a queen or $129 for a king. We come the same week to a cottage anywhere in town, with no travel fee, and carry from porches, sheds and outdoor showers.
