Junk removal in Falmouth, Massachusetts
NO SURPRISES.
This page is for hiring JUNKRUN in Falmouth: prices, what we take, how booking works. For what the town itself does, see Falmouth bulky item pickup rules, Leaf and yard waste in Falmouth, Christmas tree disposal in Falmouth, Falmouth Waste Management Facility.
Curbside: weekly, but only inside the cart
Curbside service covers most houses, condominiums and apartment buildings with fewer than five units, weekly, paid for through property taxes. The contract allows no more than two 32-gallon barrels or one 64-gallon cart for each collection, and the town's new green carts are 65 gallons. Drivers will not pick up bags set outside the cart. Recycling goes out every other week on a Red or Blue schedule.
That leaves out anything with a frame, a spring or a motor. Nauset Disposal handles missed pickups at 508-591-0948. The town page lists the 95-gallon carts as ordered, with delivery 'late November' possible (page revised Oct 16, 2026).
The Waste Management Facility, by level
The facility is at 458 Thomas B. Landers Road, open Tuesday to Saturday, 7:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. It is a two-level transfer station. The lower level takes single-stream recycling, batteries, books, textiles and the mattress container. The upper level, the hilltop, takes trash, construction debris, scrap metal, appliances and the smash pad for furniture.
An annual combined sticker is $40, sold online or at the Town Clerk in Town Hall, never at the gate. The guide says the facility is for Falmouth residents only and that waste must have originated in town. Per-item fees apply on top: see the posted fee schedule.
Eight villages, same flat price
The town describes itself as eight village areas: East Falmouth, Waquoit, Falmouth Village, Teaticket, North Falmouth, West Falmouth, Hatchville and Woods Hole. The town sits between Buzzards Bay and Nantucket Sound, so a pickup in Woods Hole and one in North Falmouth are different drives but the same price.
JUNKRUN charges the same flat rates everywhere we serve, with no travel fee: a quarter trailer $209, a half $319, three-quarters $409, a full trailer $519, $159 minimum. We carry from basements, sheds and second floors, so you do not have to haul a mattress down to the curb first.

What a pickup in Falmouth looks like.
- Where
- Falmouth is the southwest corner of Cape Cod. The Town of Falmouth's stormwater plan places it between Buzzards Bay on the west and Nantucket Sound on the south, with Bourne to the northeast and Mashpee to the east. JUNKRUN is based in Melrose and serves it.
- County and population
- Barnstable County. 32,517 residents (2020 U.S. Census (Census Bureau QuickFacts, Falmouth town, Barnstable County)).
- Neighborhoods
- Woods Hole, Falmouth Village, Teaticket, Waquoit, East Falmouth, Hatchville, West Falmouth, North Falmouth
- Homes
- The town pages say curbside trash and recycling serves most houses, condominiums and apartment buildings with fewer than five units. Falmouth's April 2026 short-term rental bylaw defines rentals as an apartment, house, cottage, condominium or furnished accommodation rented for 31 consecutive days or less. We cite no seasonal-housing counts because none was verified.
- Seasonal notes
- Weather changes the schedule: the swap shop closes in inclement weather including extreme temperatures, strong winds and precipitation, and the town website carries a local road flooding alert. The facilities close Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day, and Christmas trees are accepted only in December and January.
- Access and parking
- Curbside service uses a town-supplied cart; drivers will not pick up bags outside it. The Waste Management Facility at 458 Thomas B. Landers Road is residents-only with an annual sticker, and is closed Sunday and Monday. The town posts no dumpster or roll-off permit page; call the Select Board office at (508) 495-7320, the Building Department at (508) 495-7470 and the Health Department at (508) 495-7485 before putting a container on a public way.
