bags of household trash accepted

The Recycling Center takes no household trash at all. It is for recycling and bulky items only, so your weekly rubbish still needs a hauler either way.

$50
for a mattress, and $50 more for the box spring

A mattress or box spring is $50 each at Rockland, so a bed set is $100. A sofa is $30, a refrigerator $15 to $25, and the price list says no cash.

$20
access fee if you use a private hauler

Access is $10 if you are on town pickup and $20 if you are not. It is closed Tuesday and Wednesday, so the trip runs on their schedule, not yours.

What we do instead

Every Friday, from your curb, for $35 a month flat for trash and recycling both, from the curb. Bulky items are a phone call and a price we tell you before we come.
