A straight-up working landfill on the edge of Hopedale that handles regular household drop-offs and larger commercial loads. Expect a big, open site with trucks coming and going rather than a tidy transfer station setup.
Drive in past a single entrance booth and be ready to stop at the scale - tipping fees are charged by weight, so vehicles usually roll on and then roll off after weighing. The landfill area is expansive and mostly dirt and compacted berms; hauling trucks and compactors are common sights. Recycling or drop-off bins, if present, are usually near the entrance area and not tucked deep inside the site.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or secure load straps; loose material can blow off and staff typically expect loads to be contained.
- Plan for extra time on weekends and during spring cleanup - lines of trucks are common and maneuvering a trailer can be tight.
- Have vehicles ready to be weighed twice (in and out) so unloading goes smoothly and there’s no surprise delay.
