Leaf and yard waste in Truro, MA

Piles of fallen oak leaves and cut brush at the edge of a sandy Cape Cod lot with scrub oak and pitch pine and a gray shingle shed

What counts as yard waste

Yard waste is accepted year-round The Board of Health defines it as grass clippings, weeds, garden materials, shrub clippings, leaves, pine needles, bark mulch, wood chips and brush less than one inch in diameter. The list of items not accepted adds no brush or stumps at any time, with brush under 1 inch accepted.

The fee schedule has no yard waste line, so the pages post no charge. You still need a permit, and the station reads your license plate at the gate.

The storm cleanup exception

After the winter 2026 blizzard, the station accepted all-size yard waste and brush, including full-size trees, stumps and logs, through March 31, 2026, with a permitted vehicle. That notice is archived and expired. No fall 2026 or spring 2027 equivalent is posted, so assume the one-inch limit applies and call 508-349-6339 before hauling limbs.

The town pages describe no curbside leaf pickup and no leaf weeks. The Board of Health encourages composting at home, and a food scrap bucket is $6 at the station.

Hauling it for you

Oak and pitch pine drop a lot on a sandy lot, and the station's inch limit means big limbs and stumps need another route. JUNKRUN hauls yard debris by the trailer: quarter $209, half $319, full $519, or $11 per bag or box, minimum $159.

We load debris that is bagged or piled. Same price in Truro and North Truro, no travel fee. Pay by card, Zelle or Venmo. Send a photo of the pile and where it sits on the lot, and we quote before we come. Leaves and needles bag easily; limbs and stumps are priced by how much of the trailer they fill.
