Scituate Transfer Station Hours and Fees (2026)

Plenty of Scituate households hire a private hauler, since the town has no trash pickup. Others buy a sticker and haul their own to the transfer station on the Driftway. Here is what that costs.

  • Monday8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
  • Tuesday8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
  • WednesdayClosed
  • ThursdayClosed
  • Friday8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
  • Saturday8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
  • Sunday8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
  • 280 Driftway. The pit closes at 3:00 p.m., with no large loads or trailers after that.
$150
for a mattress and box spring

Scituate charges $75 for a mattress and $75 for a box spring, as high a bed disposal fee as any town we serve. Furniture is $35 an item or scale weight, and bulky waste is billed by the ton.

$140
sticker, with bags still to buy

A vehicle sticker is $140, or $75 for seniors and $60 for a second car at the same address. That is admission only. Trash then goes out in the town's blue bags at $20 for ten 30-gallon, so another $2 every bag.

2
days a week the gate is shut

The station is closed Wednesday and Thursday every week. We collect in Scituate on Thursday, one of the two days you could not go anyway.

$348
a year in sticker and bags

The $140 sticker plus two 30-gallon blue bags a week at $2 each, about one of our 64-gallon totes, comes to $348 a year, before gas, a mattress or a single trip.

Why choose Carney?

Every Thursday, from your curb, for $35 a month flat, and that is the whole price: totes included, no fuel surcharges, no hidden fees and no contract required. No surprise rate increases, either. Your rate is guaranteed for a year. No bags to buy, recycling every other week, and a mattress goes on the truck instead of costing you $75 at the scale. Trash, recycling, bulky items, yard waste and dumpsters, all from one family-owned company in Raynham.
