Worker here are great! This is one of the best town transfer stations I’ve ever seen. The people work here really care and will answer any questions you might have about what can and cannot be recycled.

OK, call me crazy, but this is one of my favorite places in Wellfleet. Yes, yes, the bay beaches are outstanding, and the oceans beaches (if you don't mind sharing the water with sharks) are great, and the ponds-- fuhgeddaboutit. But the transfer station is a wonderful arrangement where you can get your stuff recycled in a very meticulous, categorized way. The staff there are friendly and helpful, and there is a place for everything-- even shells! My grandkids go gaga over the swapshop. The purple bag business is a bit weird but I suppose it makes sense. My only complaint: they start the post-season schedule right after labor day, making it harder for all-summer folk to do their final cleanup and get everything recycled properly.

The workers here are like the Gestapo. I didn't realize that my mother put a broken glass dish at the bottom of a paper bag filled with cardboard. He then lectured me about the glass being mixed with the cardboard as I was trying to explain myself he just cut me off and said, "yea its everyone else's fault". Then as I was grabbing the glass he then stopped me and said " to save everyone the inconvenience just thro everything into the normal garbage with the purple bags". Basically telling me to break the law and go against the states recycling laws

Once a year there is a Hazardous Waste Day Collection. For 2021, that Day is Saturday June 5th, from 9am to Noon.

When is the swap shop open?

Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday 8 to 12. But you need a transfer station sticker.

Can I buy a sticker at the transfer station?
