Posted on: November 1, 2025[ARCHIVED] America Recycles Day - 15 Days of Recycling Tips from Cleaner Greener Hingham
- Know Your Local Guidelines
Familiarize yourself with what can and cannot be recycled at the Hingham Transfer Station by checking Recycling web page. Still unsure whether you can recycle that item? Check https://recyclesmartma.org/ Remember, when in doubt, throw it out! Placing non-recyclable items into the recycling bin can cause an entire load to be rejected.
- Clean Your Recyclables
Rinse containers to remove food residue; contaminated items can spoil entire batches of recyclables.
- Household Hazardous Waste
Household Hazardous Waste cannot be disposed of with regular household trash. Hingham residents are able to register for several Household Hazardous Waste collection events around the South Shore throughout the year. The next Household Hazardous Waste Day will be November 15 from 9am - 1pm in Hull. Registration is required.
- Keep It Dry
Ensure items are dry; wet paper can’t be recycled effectively.
- Avoid Wishcycling
Don’t throw items in the recycling bin just because you hope they can be recycled—check first. Recycle Smart MA is a great resource. And remember – when in doubt, throw it out! Placing non-recyclable items into the recycling bin can cause an entire load to be rejected.
