Tuesday & Wednesday Pickup

Cohasset is split across two routes, so your day depends on where you are in town. Call 508-822-2208 and we'll tell you which one you're on.

Trash & Recycling Totes
Trash in one tote, recycling in the other, in the sizes that fit your household. Both are collected from the curb on your pickup day.

Bulk Items

Mattresses, furniture, appliances, TVs and tires cannot go in your tote, but we pick them up by appointment at a flat price per item.

Doing it yourself

Why Choose Us?

The Cohasset Recycling Transfer Facility is well run and takes almost everything. Some households should use it. Here is what it actually costs you.

$165
permit, before a single bag goes in

Cohasset's All Facilities Permit is $165 for the first permit per household. That is admission to the gate. It does not include throwing anything away.

$4
a bag, on top of the permit

Trash has to go in official blue bags, at $40 for ten 33-gallon or $20 for ten 16-gallon. Two bags a week is another $416 a year, so a two-bag household is near $581 a year before a mattress, a sofa or a single trip is counted.

52
trips, on their hours

Plus the weekly run, and only while the gate is open: Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., closed Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Roughly 26 hours a year of your time, unpaid.

What we do instead

Every Tuesday or Wednesday, from your curb, for $35 a month flat: $420 for the year, with bi-weekly recycling, no permit and no blue bags to buy. Bulky items are a phone call and a price we tell you before we come.
