Small-town transfer station used by Hingham residents to drop off household trash and common recyclables. Trucks from here compact loads and haul them out to larger disposal sites. Locals swing by for seasonal cleanups or regular disposal runs.
Drive up to an entrance booth where vehicles briefly stop before entering the site; a scale is usually on site so vehicles are weighed. Pull-through lanes and compacting pits are visible from the drive; trailers and pickup beds are common. Recycling containers and sorting areas are typically clustered a short drive past the booth. Weekends and spring cleanup days tend to be the busiest, with queues forming at the entrance.

Before You Go
- Bring help for lifting-there are few places to set bulky items down and staff won’t load heavy pieces for you.
- Arrive midweek if possible to avoid long lines; early morning is often quieter than late afternoon.
- Have items sorted before you reach the booth so unloading is quicker and the right piles are reached without backtracking.
