The Town of Hingham operates a SWAP Shop at its Transfer Station where residents with a valid residential sticker may leave usable items for reuse by other residents. The town requires items to be in good usable condition and allows volunteers to refuse donations that are not appropriate for the program. This location can provide an estate reuse outlet for qualifying household goods when the donor is eligible to use the Hingham Transfer Station.

The town lists several prohibited categories, including car seats, computers, bulky or upholstered furniture, helmets, large appliances, mattresses, paint, rugs, televisions and hazardous products. Furniture intake is also subject to time restrictions. Because access is limited to Hingham residents with the required sticker, executors should confirm eligibility before bringing estate items. Save a trip! Call Hingham Transfer Station SWAP Shop first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
