How much is in-driveway pickup?

In-driveway pickup is $115 a month for two 64-gallon totes, $125 for a 96 and a 64, and $135 for two 96s, in all 28 towns. Recycling every other week.

Three tiers, matching the curbside tote options:

  • $115 a month: 64-gallon trash and 64-gallon recycling
  • $125 a month: 96-gallon trash and 64-gallon recycling
  • $135 a month: 96-gallon trash and 96-gallon recycling

It is available in all 28 towns we serve, at the same rate wherever you are, just like curbside.

One thing to know before you sign up: recycling runs every other week on in-driveway service, in every town, unless you pay to upgrade to weekly. Ask about that rate when you call.

Why it is so much more than the $35 curbside rate. Curbside collection is mostly automatic. The truck pulls up, an arm lifts the tote, the truck moves on, and the driver does not leave the cab. In-driveway is a person getting out, walking up your driveway, walking two totes back down, emptying them and walking them back. That is a few minutes of labor per house instead of a few seconds, and on a route of hundreds of stops it is the difference between one truck and two.

We publish the price rather than quote it privately, because it is a large enough number that people deserve to see it before they call.
