Junk removal in Wellfleet, Massachusetts
NO SURPRISES.
This page is for hiring JUNKRUN in Wellfleet: prices, what we take, how booking works. For what the town itself does, see Wellfleet bulky item pickup rules, Leaves, brush and yard waste in Wellfleet, Christmas tree disposal in Wellfleet, Wellfleet Transfer Station.
What the Transfer Station asks of you
The station at 370 Coles Neck Road is where Wellfleet trash, recycling, metal and bulky items go. A resident vehicle sticker is $25 for the first vehicle, and the town sells the 2026-2027 stickers in person at the Transfer Station, cash or check only. A vehicle without one pays a $10 entrance fee and can use only the recycling area and the Swap Shop, plus bagged trash.
Household trash must go in the purple Wellfleet bags. Non-PAYT bags cost $5 each at the gate. The station also states it can only accept waste that was generated within the Town of Wellfleet, so a pile cleared from a house you own in Wellfleet is fine and a load from your Orleans home is not.
Call the station at (508) 514-1199 or the DPW at 508-349-0315 if a rule on these pages does not settle your case.
Winter closures, summer crowds
The Transfer Station is open seven days a week from the Friday before Memorial Day to the first Tuesday after Labor Day Then it closes every Wednesday and Thursday until Memorial Day 2027, with the gate open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and recycling closing at 3:30. It is also closed on holidays, including Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.
The town says its population swells from 3,500 year-round residents to an estimated 17,000 in summer. That is why a cottage cleared on a Wednesday in October has nowhere to take a mattress or a chair: the only drop-off is shut, and a sticker is needed on the days it is open.
Separately, the town requires short-term rentals to register and pass an inspection (see our move-out page for the fees).
Villages, lanes and where we load
The town describes itself as South Wellfleet, Wellfleet Harbor, and the downtown village (Main Street), with outlying land at Great Island, Duck Harbor and Bound Brook Island. Most of what we haul comes from cottages and year-round houses, from basements, sheds, decks and porches. We carry from any floor with no stair fee.
Tell us where a trailer can stop. We have not verified lane widths street by street, so a photo of the driveway helps.
Sample prices: sofa ${p:couch}, regular dresser ${p:dresser}, standard appliance ${p:appliance}, quarter trailer ${p:quarter}. Every quote is one flat number with no travel fee.
