Friday Pickup

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.

Bulk Prices

Yard Waste

$7 per brown bag. Duxbury's transfer station takes it, if you bag it, load the car and drive it over. We come to you.

Doing it yourself

Why Choose Us?

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

$135
a year, and the second car is another $135

Duxbury charges $135 for a residential permit, or $60 if you are 62 or over. A second vehicle is another $135 with no discount, and every bag of trash is extra at $1.60 or $2.60 depending on size.

$40
per mattress, and you still do the lifting

Duxbury charges $40 a mattress, $40 a box spring, $40 for large upholstered furniture and $20 for white goods. Getting a sofa or a fridge there usually means borrowing a truck.

52
trips, on their hours

Plus the weekly run, and only while the gate is open: Wednesday to Sunday, 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., closed Monday and Tuesday. Roughly 26 hours a year of your time, unpaid.

What we do instead

Every Friday, from your curb, for $35 a month flat. No permit, no blue bags, no borrowed truck. Bulky items are a phone call and a price we tell you before we come.
