Last verified from official sources: 2026-11-05
Who can use it
Harwich residents/taxpayers with a Transfer Station access sticker, recycle-only sticker holders (no trash), or visitors paying the no-sticker per-trip fee. Non-resident stickers are listed on the Fee Chart. Treasure Chest reuse shed needs a separate $5 sticker.
Hours
- Transfer Station: 7 days a week, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
- Closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day
Sticker or permit
Required: Yes
Price: Conflicting official figures: the Disposal Area Fee Chart lists residential sticker $200 (pro-rated $100 after Jan 1, 2027), additional sticker $25, recycle-only $50, non-resident $275, no-sticker fee $10 per trip, Treasure Chest $5. The FY2026 Tax Office mail-in form lists first-vehicle Transfer Station access $160 and second vehicle $25. TownDumps does not pick one figure. Confirm the current sticker price with the Treasurer (508-430-7501) before you pay.
Where to buy: Treasurer / Tax Office sticker sales (508-430-7501) or online Harwich sticker portal; mail-in FY2026 form to Tax Office Transfer Station Access, 732 Main Street, Harwich, MA 02645 with vehicle registration copies, check to Town of Harwich, and SASE for some access types.
