Residential Curbside Trash Collection serves most houses, condominiums and apartment buildings with fewer than five units by a weekly curbside trash pickup which is financed by town property taxes. Each residence is permitted up to 3 containers weekly (not to exceed 32 gallon capacity each.) Trucks will collect between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Whenever a scheduled collection day falls on a holiday, that day's collection and all remaining collections for the week will be delayed one day.
The current Town of Falmouth observed holidays are as follows:
• New Year's Day
• Patriots Day
• Memorial Day
• Juneteenth
• Independence Day
• Labor Day
• Indigenous People's Day
• Veterans Day
• Thanksgiving Day
• Christmas
When one of these holidays falls on a normal pick-up day, regular collection will take place the following day and this will continue for the rest of the week, including Saturday. Sign up for email/text alerts & notifications regarding delayed trash pickup or other information in our NotifyMe Center.
