Small-town disposal site serving Orleans residents and nearby Cape Cod towns. Located on Lots Hollow Road, this is where locals bring household trash and the usual seasonal cleanouts. Expect a no-frills, working-yard feel rather than anything polished.
Drive up the entrance road and you’ll see the facility off the main drag at 56 Lots Hollow Rd; there’s a working lot with piles or containers for different things. Because this is a Massachusetts disposal site, sorting recyclables and keeping banned items out is part of the routine. Plan on a short stop at an entry point where vehicles are checked and charges are totaled by weight or load size at many sites like this. Weekends and spring cleanup days are noticeably busier, so lines can form at the entry and the tipping area.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort and bag recyclables at home first - Massachusetts rules mean separation is expected and it saves time on-site.
- Avoid peak times if possible; weekday mid-mornings or late afternoons are usually quieter than weekend mornings.
- Secure loads so trash doesn’t blow out during the drive; have proof of residence handy if it’s required by the site.
