Doing it yourself

Why Choose Us?

Plenty of Hingham households take their own trash to the transfer station on Sam Ryder Road. Here is what that costs.

$0
for the permit, and the trips are the price

Hingham's resident transfer station permit is free, one per household, with a second vehicle at $25 a year. What the permit does not cover is the fifty-two trips a year it takes to use it.

3
days a week the gate is shut

The station opens Thursday to Sunday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., closed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. If your week does not have a free Thursday to Sunday in it, that is the catch.

52
trips, and the loading is yours

A mattress is $20 and a large appliance $15 at the gate. What it costs you instead is fifty-two round trips a year, roughly 26 hours, plus a vehicle that will take a sofa.

What we do instead

Every Monday, from your curb, for $35 a month flat, with every other week recycling. Curbside or up the driveway if you cannot get the totes out. Bulky items are a phone call and a price we tell you before we come.
