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. Kingston takes it at the Recycling and Disposal Center if you haul it there yourself. We come to you instead.

Why Choose Us?

Plenty of Kingston households buy a sticker for the Recycling and Disposal Center on Cranberry Road, and for some of them that is the right call. Here is the honest comparison.

$280
a year for the regular sticker

Kingston's FY27 sticker is $280, or $140 at 65 and over and for veterans, with a second sticker at $60. Check or money order only, and sold only at the Streets, Trees & Parks office on Evergreen Street, weekdays 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., so buying it is its own weekday errand.

3
Saturdays a year for brush

Brush and chipping are taken on the third Saturday of April, July and October only, 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. That is three days in the whole year. Miss them and the pile sits until the next one.

52
trips, and it shuts Thursday and Friday

Open Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., Monday from 10:00 a.m., and closed Thursday, Friday and twelve public holidays. Roughly 26 hours a year of your time, unpaid, and nothing bigger than a one-ton vehicle is allowed in.

What we do instead

Every Friday, a day the center is shut, from your curb, for $35 a month flat, which is $420 a year against the sticker's $280 plus every trip. Yard waste is $7 a brown bag on call, any week of the year, not three Saturdays.

Common Questions in Kingston

What day is trash pickup in Kingston?

Every Friday. Have your totes at the curb by 7:00 a.m. Recycling is collected the same day, every week. In a holiday week your pickup moves one day later. See the holiday schedule.

How much does trash pickup cost in Kingston?

$35 a month for two 64-gallon totes, $40 for a 96-gallon trash tote with a 64-gallon recycling tote, and $45 for two 96-gallon totes. One flat monthly rate, totes included, no hidden fees. In-driveway pickup, where we come up the driveway for the totes, is $115 to $135 a month.

Which tote size do I need?

A 64-gallon tote holds about four large kitchen bags and a 96-gallon tote about seven. One or two people usually fit in the 64. A household of four or more usually needs the 96. If you outgrow it, call and we swap it.
