Weekly Curbside Trash Collection Schedule: Click Here.  

Falmouth has a “Pay-per-bag” trash collection system. Falmouth relies on the revenue from yellow trash bags to fund all trash/recycling collection and disposal so you pay only for what you throw away.  While in past years, curbside collection was paid for from property taxes, regular fee increases in the price of bags, including an increase in 2020, now covers both collection and disposal.

Rules and Regulations for Curbside Collection

  • Trash and Recycle bins MUST be placed at the curb by 7:00 am on the scheduled pick-up day.
  • Trash will only be collected if it is in a Falmouth Yellow Trash Bag inside a Town-provide cart.
  • You can use Town-provided carts by placing the yellow bag inside the cart, fill it with your trash, and TIE the bag before placing it at the curb.
  •  See below for locations and prices.
