Manomet Transfer Station: hours, permits and fees
Hours, holidays and the gate
The station is open 8:00 a.m. through 3:45 p.m. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday, closed every Wednesday and Thursday. The page adds that the entry gate begins closing at 3:45 p.m., so arrive earlier. It is closed on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Independence Day, Columbus/Indigenous Peoples' Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and closes at noon on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.
The town posts no separate winter or summer hours on the pages we read. The Swap Shop in Cedarville is the only seasonal Plymouth facility, Saturdays May through October.
Permits: who qualifies and what they cost
The town's eligibility policy says an Eligible Person is a Plymouth residential property owner named on the deed or a year-round tenant and the vehicle must be a passenger vehicle, van or pickup truck. Permits are tracked by the license plate on your vehicle through an automated system and are not transferable. Leased vehicles need the registration plus the lease.
FY27 rates, valid 7/1/26 through 6/30/27: full year $190; second household vehicle $20 with a full-year pass; one trailer $15; recycle-only $60; one month $30 (30 days); four months $85 (120 days). Buy online, at the Tax Collector's Office in Town Hall, 26 Court Street, or by mail to the DPW at 159 Camelot Drive. Allow 24 to 48 hours online. The town posted a scam warning on November 3, 2026 about fraudulent permit payment emails; pay only through the town's own channels.
What it takes and the fees on top
The town's A to Z guide puts these at Manomet: trash in the compactor, single-stream recycling, glass, scrap metal, bicycles, grills, lawn mowers, water heaters, clothing, books, motor oil, antifreeze, automotive batteries and cold wood ash. Fees listed in the guide: washer, dryer, stove, dishwasher and microwave $10 each; refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers $20 for freon removal; TVs and computer monitors $15; propane tanks $2; tires, a fee that varies. Grass clippings and leaves go to a compost pile. Brush, tree branches and stumps are listed as not accepted.
The guide says Manomet fees are check or money order only, while the residential page says cash or check. Bring a checkbook.
The pay-by-weight facility at 354 Beaver Dam Road
Republic Services runs the Difficult to Manage Waste facility at the same entrance, open Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. You pass it first, then reach the station. Materials are paid by weight, mattresses and box springs weight plus $75 each, and the guide lists furniture, carpet, wood, concrete and construction debris there. The A to Z notes that this facility takes checks or credit and debit only. Questions: 508-224-8936.
If a load needs both places, you need a permit for one and a card for the other, on different days. JUNKRUN does the whole pile in one stop: quarter trailer $209, half $319, three-quarters $409, full trailer $519, $159 minimum.
