Town Landfill at 90 Race Point Rd is Provincetown’s municipal landfill, where local trash and bulky items end up. Residents and local haulers use it; fees and what’s accepted vary by location and state rules.
Pull up to a small gate/scale area and be prepared to stop - many landfills charge by weight so there’s often a weigh-in and a weigh-out. The site looks like a big open work area with dirt roads, compacted mounds and trucks moving around; keep an eye out for loading activity. There’s usually a booth near the entrance for check-in, then a short drive to the tipping area, so have items staged for quick unloading. Weekends and spring-cleanup times get backed up, and wind can scatter loose trash if loads aren’t covered.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure everything with tarps and straps before leaving home - Race Point Road gets windy and loose items blow out easily.
- Load bulky or heavy items so they’re easy to reach; being organized can shave minutes off the drop-off process.
- Have proof of residency or business documentation ready if the town requires it, and expect tipping fees to be weight-based so plan accordingly.
