Weston donation and reuse options
Verified Weston reuse, donation and collection resources with eligibility questions to settle before arranging transport.
For a Weston household, the easiest pickup starts with a clear distinction between what stays and what goes. Include driveway constraints, the room each piece occupies and any steps between the house and the loading point.
These are independent resources, not guaranteed destinations for a request made through this site. Municipal disposal and recycling are different from a charitable gift. Check the linked program before making a trip.

Independent resource
Weston Transfer Station and Swap Shed
- 195 Church Street, behind the Kendal Green commuter rail parking area.
- Transfer Station entry requires an annually renewed permit; Weston residents only, no commercial waste.
- Swap Shed accepts usable, clean and safe goods subject to volunteer approval and space.
- Small non-upholstered furniture, lamps, small shelves and cabinets can be considered; upholstered furniture, mattresses, box springs and cribs are excluded.
- Do not leave goods outside the shed.
- Facility access bridge is single lane; entering vehicles yield to exiting traffic.
Official pages conflict about Swap Shed Saturday opening time: transfer page says 8am, volunteer page says 10am. Do not publish a fixed start time; tell readers to confirm current volunteer coverage. Do not promise a commercial pickup crew can unload at this resident facility.

Bulky Waste
