Why Choose Us?

Plenty of Bridgewater households take their own trash to the transfer station on Bedford Street, and for some of them that is the right call. Here is the honest comparison.

$50
sticker, and it only buys you entry

A one-year Bridgewater sticker is $50, or $25 if you are 65 or retired. Two years is $75 and an extra sticker for the same household is $15.

$2
every bag, on top of the sticker

The sticker gets you through the gate. Every bag of trash up to 15 pounds is another $2, a barrel is $4 to $6, and payment at the gate is check or money order only. Cash is no longer accepted.

52
trips, on their hours

Plus the weekly run, and only while the gate is open: Monday, Tuesday and Friday 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Saturday 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Sunday 8:00 a.m. to noon, closed Wednesday and Thursday, and closed altogether on snow days over four inches.

What we do instead

Every Monday, from your curb, for $30 a month flat. No sticker, no per-bag charge, no check at the gate. Bulky items are a phone call and a price we tell you before we come.
