Junk removal in Sandwich, Massachusetts
NO SURPRISES.
This page is for hiring JUNKRUN in Sandwich: prices, what we take, how booking works. For what the town itself does, see Sandwich bulky item pickup rules, Leaf and yard waste in Sandwich, Christmas tree disposal in Sandwich, Sandwich Transfer Station.
How the town handles it
The town runs one drop-off point. The Transfer Station is open Wednesday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Thursday to Sunday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is closed Monday and Tuesday and on New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Getting in takes an annual permit or a one-time pass, and the plate on the permit has to match the vehicle registration.
There is no swap shop. The town's FAQ says the station does not operate one, and it points people to recycling organizations instead.
What a pile of junk costs at the station
Sandwich charges per non-routine item on top of the permit. The residential permit is $105 for the first vehicle and $30 for a second or third. A one-trip pass is $10 but covers only household trash in Pay-As-You-Throw bags and everyday recyclables. Furniture, mattresses, appliances and TVs all need the annual permit, and each carries its own fee. The numbers are laid out on the mattress, couch and refrigerator pages.
A small car is a real limit. The town suggests a trailer or a local disposal contractor for bulky items.
Where JUNKRUN fits
JUNKRUN comes to the driveway, garage or basement, carries everything out and hauls it away in one trailer visit. A quarter trailer is $209, a half $319, three-quarters $409 and a full trailer $519, with a $159 minimum. The same flat prices apply in every town and there is no travel fee. Pay by card, Zelle or Venmo.
Sandwich is made of villages, each with its own ZIP code. The town profile lists Sandwich, East Sandwich, Forestdale and Sagamore Beach. Owners of seasonal homes and rental cottages get the same pricing, and the estate cleanout and move-out pages cover the Transfer Station rules that catch out people who do not live in town year round.
The rest of the Sandwich guides: bulky items, Transfer Station hours and rules, dumpster rules, hazardous waste, leaves and yard waste and Christmas trees.

What a pickup in Sandwich looks like.
- Where
- Sandwich is the oldest town on Cape Cod, at the Cape's western edge beside the Cape Cod Canal, in Barnstable County. The town was settled in 1637 and incorporated in 1639. JUNKRUN is based in Melrose and serves it.
- County and population
- Barnstable County. 20,259 residents (2020 U.S. Census (Census Bureau QuickFacts for Sandwich town, Barnstable County)).
- Neighborhoods
- Sandwich, East Sandwich, Forestdale, Sagamore Beach
- Homes
- Census QuickFacts shows an owner-occupied housing rate of 89.2% (2020-2024) and 2.41 persons per household. The town's short-term rental rule names apartments, houses, cottages, condominiums and rooms among rental property types, so cottages and seasonal rentals sit alongside year-round homes. Sandwich also has a Historic District with its own committee.
- Seasonal notes
- The Transfer Station handles leaves and lawn trimmings for permit holders and closes Monday and Tuesday. The town asked residents on October 21, 2026 to keep leaves out of streets and storm drains.
- Access and parking
- The Transfer Station permit is tied to a vehicle registration at a Sandwich address, and its rules refuse waste brought by anyone other than the household's sticker holders and waste collected by a hauler for pay. Trash goes in town Pay-As-You-Throw bags. The town pages we read do not describe a dumpster permit; haulers are licensed by the Board of Health.
Landmarks: Historic Town Hall, Sandwich Public Library, Cape Cod Canal, Telegraph Hill.

Does Sandwich pick up bulky items at the curb?
+
The town pages describe a Transfer Station drop-off and a Pay-As-You-Throw bag program. They list no curbside bulky pickup, so call Public Works at (508) 833-8002 if you want confirmation for your street.
What are the Transfer Station hours?
+
Wednesday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Thursday to Sunday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Closed Monday, Tuesday and four holidays.
Can JUNKRUN take items from East Sandwich, Forestdale or Sagamore Beach?
+
Yes. They are villages inside the town of Sandwich and get the same flat prices.
Can I use a neighbor's Transfer Station permit?
+
The rules say the permit goes with a vehicle registration, not a person, and that waste from a home must come from that household's sticker holders. Ask the Tax Collector at (508) 833-8012 before you try it.
