Doing it yourself

Why Choose Us?

Plenty of Dartmouth households take their own waste to the transfer station on Russells Mills Road, and for some of them that is the right call. Here is the honest comparison.

3
days a week the gate is open

Dartmouth's transfer station opens Tuesday and Thursday 7:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m., and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. Miss all three and the pile waits another week.

$12
minimum, because furniture is weighed

Furniture, unbagged trash and wood are not priced per item at Dartmouth. They go on the scale, with a $12 minimum. You find out what your sofa costs after they have weighed it.

$40
per mattress at the gate, $50 at the curb

A mattress is $40 if you drive it there yourself and $50 for the town to collect it, four items maximum, by appointment only.

What we do instead

Every Tuesday, from your curb, for $30 a month flat, trash and recycling both weekly. Bulky items are a phone call and a flat price we tell you before we come. No scale, no appointment queue.
