The disposal area will be open seven (7) days a week, including holidays, with the exception of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day.
A fee shall be charged for all commercial vehicles and passenger cars. Commercial vehicles with personal household rubbish will be admitted to the area at no additional charge if they meet requirements for a town sticker.
"Residential household trash" is defined as any rubbish, refuse or garbage that is normally generated from a dwelling used for human habitation by the owner of said property or by a tenant of said property.
All legal residents/real estate taxpayers will be admitted with their town sticker. These are available at the gatehouse at the disposal area and at the Dennis Town Offices during the spring and summer months. Proof of residency and/or payment of taxes must be presented with the registration of the motor vehicle. The sticker is good only for the vehicle registration it is issued to for the period of one (1) year.
All nonresidents residing and/or staying in the Town of Dennis who do not purchase a town sticker may purchase a temporary pass at the gatehouse at the disposal area.
During the months of May and October, the landfill will accept trees and brush at no extra charge from local residents and taxpayers who show evidence of holding a residential landfill sticker. The maximum size vehicle allowed for this purpose will be a two-wheel trailer or pickup truck. Said trees and brush should be the result of noncommercial efforts only.
"Commercial trash" is defined as any rubbish, refuse, bulky waste or garbage that is generated from business, industry, construction, demolition and motels or rental cottages.
"Bulky waste" is defined as large items of refuse, such as appliances, furniture, auto parts, stumps, trees, branches and brush.
All commercial rubbish packers will stencil or paint their maximum capacity in cubic yards on the driver's side of their vehicles.
All loads from commercial packers must come from the Town of Dennis. The contents of all packers' trucks will be spotchecked at frequent intervals. If any portion of their load comes from a town other than Dennis, the packer's license shall be suspended for a period of thirty (30) days. The second offense will result in a one (1) year suspension.
All loads coming into the disposal area must be covered.
Only wastes collected in the Town of Dennis will be permitted in the landfill area.
