Junk removal in Harwich, Massachusetts
NO SURPRISES.
This page is for hiring JUNKRUN in Harwich: prices, what we take, how booking works. For what the town itself does, see Harwich bulky item pickup rules, Leaf and yard waste in Harwich, MA, Christmas tree disposal in Harwich, MA, Harwich Transfer Station, hours, stickers and what it takes.
What the town handles and what it leaves to you
The Transfer Station is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., 362 days a year, and it takes household trash from residents and commercial haulers. Its recycling drop-off, a construction and demolition pad, yard waste, bulk metal, an auto shed and paint and oil sheds sit on the same site.
A visit usually starts with a sticker. Resident Transfer Station stickers are $200 and non-resident stickers $275 on the FY27 forms, checked Nov 2026. Items cost extra: the fee schedule runs from $5 for a gas grill or bicycle to $30 for a mattress or box spring, and $205 a ton for construction debris. We found no town bulky pickup, so a couch, a pile of cabinets or a freezer is yours to load and drive.
The pages we read do not say whether a town curbside trash route exists. Call the station at 508-430-7558 before you plan around one.
Seven villages, shingled Capes and summer rentals
The fire department covers all seven villages: North, South, East, West, Pleasant Lake, Harwich Center and Harwich Port. The town says its year-round population is approximately 12,677, with a seasonal increase to 37,000. The 2020 Census counted 13,440 residents.
Census QuickFacts puts owner-occupied housing at 84.8% of units and median value at $658,600 (2020-2024). The town site describes Harwich Port by its beaches on Nantucket Sound and shops along Route 28, and West Harwich by marsh, tidal creeks and the Bell's Neck Conservation Area.
A rental of 90 days or less must register with the Building Official under Chapter 230. Between a Saturday checkout and the next check-in, an owner often has one day to clear what guests left. That day is when a flat-price pickup earns its keep.
Drop-offs worth a trip
The Treasure Chest at 205 Queen Anne Road takes useful items in good condition on Saturday and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., for Harwich residents with a $5 sticker. It refuses mattresses, large appliances, TVs and large or heavy furniture. The Habitat ReStore in South Yarmouth takes furniture in new or very good condition, appliances 10 years old or under and tools, and inspects every donation before accepting it.
County hazardous waste collections ran on second Saturdays from May to October 2026 and are over for the year; the county posts 2027 dates in spring 2027.
For everything else, JUNKRUN loads one pile at flat prices: a quarter trailer $209, a half $319, three-quarters $409, a full trailer $519, with a $159 minimum and no travel fee. Pay by card, Zelle or Venmo.

What a pickup in Harwich looks like.
- Where
- Harwich sits on the south side of the Cape peninsula with shoreline on Nantucket Sound and Pleasant Bay, about 20.9 square miles by the fire department's count. JUNKRUN is based in Melrose and serves it.
- County and population
- Barnstable County. 13,440 residents (2020 U.S. Census (Census Bureau QuickFacts for Harwich town, Barnstable County); the town's own page gives about 12,677 year-round residents and a seasonal rise to 37,000).
- Neighborhoods
- Harwich Port, West Harwich, East Harwich, North Harwich, South Harwich, Harwich Center, Pleasant Lake
- Homes
- Mostly owner-occupied: 84.8% of units, with a median owner-occupied value of $658,600 (Census QuickFacts, 2020-2024). The town says the population rises from about 12,677 year-round to 37,000 in season, so a large share of the housing is cottages and second homes. Rentals of 90 days or less must be registered with the Building Official under Chapter 230.
- Seasonal notes
- The Transfer Station runs all year, 362 days, and the county's hazardous waste collections run only from May to October, so winter clean-outs have no collection day to wait for.
- Access and parking
- There is no dumpster permit page on the town site. A license is needed to obstruct a public way other than a private driveway (Chapter 255, Highways), and the zoning bylaw bars using a parking space for a dumpster (section 325-41). The Transfer Station bans material brought in from outside Harwich (Chapter 247).
Landmarks: Brooks Academy Museum, Bells Neck Conservation Area, Wychmere Harbor, Saquatucket Harbor, Herring River, Pleasant Lake.
