Truro Transfer Station: hours, permit and fees
Hours, location and the schedule gap
The station is at 115 Route 6, Truro, MA 02666. The town page lists Friday through Tuesday, 7:30 am to 3:30 pm, through June 9, 2026, closed Wednesdays and Thursdays, then seven days a week from June 10 to September 10, 2026. As of November 6, 2026 the page lists no hours after September 10, so the winter schedule has to come from the station at 508-349-6339 or the DPW.
A second town directory page printed the summer dates with the year 2025, so the town's own pages are not fully updated; trust a phone call over either.
The station closes on posted holidays, including Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, provided it is not closed more than two days in a row.
The permit, by license plate
Physical stickers are no longer distributed. Cameras read plates as vehicles enter and compare them with a list of authorized users. You can check yours on the town's License Plate Lookup. Sticker sales are online at the town's sticker site.
The August 2025 fee schedule lists an annual permit at $100, a senior annual permit at $50, second and third annual permits at $25 each, and seasonal permits at $55 monthly or $30 weekly. The annual line on the schedule is labeled oddly, so confirm the resident price with the DPW at 508-349-2140.
Each household is limited to three annual permits and one weekly or monthly. Waste must come from the permitted Truro property.
Fees, limits and what it refuses
Permit holders may bring four bags of 32 gallons or less per entry. Per-item fees include $50 for a mattress or soft furniture, $25 for a TV, $30 for white goods, $10 for a tire, $10 for an automobile battery and $25 for a residential toilet. Rechargeable batteries, fluorescent bulbs, computer parts and motor oil are free.
Refused: wooden furniture, demolition material, asbestos, stumps and hazardous materials. Yard waste is accepted year-round, with brush under 1 inch in diameter. The swap shop next door runs Saturday, Sunday and Monday 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., volunteer-based, for working items only.
