Trash Removal

The Town of Watertown does not offer residential trash or recycling pick up. There are two options for residents to dispose of waste.

1) Residents may purchase a Transfer Station permit** at the cost of $20.00 for the calendar year that expires in December of the year purchased. The fee schedule for disposing of waste at the Transfer Station can be found here: Transfer Station Fee Schedule **Please note that residents must provide a proof of Watertown residency to purchase a permit. Permits are not available to landlords and/or business owners unless their residence is in Watertown. Businesses are prohibited from using the Transfer Station for disposing of commercial waste.

2) Residents and business owners can contact a private company for waste pick up at their own expense. Cost varies by business.

The current companies permitted to serve Watertown residents are linked below (in alphabetical order):
