6. Why is our trash bill so high, we have the incinerator here and Weymouth and Quincy pay a lot less?

The fee set for the trash bill is based on the cost of providing curbside pickup and disposing it at the transfer station. As a Braintree resident, you have a choice of optioning out of curbside pickup. To do so, you will need to provide proof, such as a contract or paid bill, that your household trash is being picked up by a private contractor. If you come into our office our staff can assist you in completing the necessary paperwork.
