Every Massachusetts rate we've verified is side by side in our guide to what it costs to dump in Massachusetts.
The $40 combined sticker covers the Waste Management Facility, its Swap Shop and the town's Yard Waste & Leaf Compost Facility, which has required a sticker since January 2025. Everything on the upper level, including mattresses, needs the annual sticker; a single-trip pass covers the lower level only. Recyclables are dumped into containers at the gate so staff can check and measure them, and plastic bags aren't allowed in recycling.
The Pick of the Litter Swap Shop is open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, 9 a.m. to noon. The town's household hazardous waste collection is held once a year at Falmouth High School.
Massachusetts bans a long list of items from trash and landfills: mattresses and clothing and textiles (since November 2022), large appliances, car batteries, whole tires, old tube TVs and monitors, leaves and yard waste, scrap metal, and recyclable bottles, cans, paper and cardboard. Town transfer stations collect them separately, often for a fee.
