Bolton Transfer Station and Recycling Center
95 Forbush Mill Rd, Bolton, MA 01740
(978) 779-6402Bolton Transfer Station and Recycling Center at 95 Forbush Mill Rd is the local spot for dropping off household recyclables and small cleanouts. Neighbors bring cars, pickups and small trailers here to sort out paper, cardboard and other recyclables.
There’s typically an entrance booth and a vehicle scale like at most transfer sites, then a paved yard with large roll-off containers for different materials. Expect bins or skips for paper, cardboard, glass, metal and many plastics; some recycling centers also run periodic electronics or household-hazardous drop-off events. Lines can build up on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup season, so traffic may move slowly at peak times. Have items loosely separated before getting out of the vehicle to make unloading quicker.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Break down and bundle cardboard ahead of time - it saves space and speeds up the drop-off.
- Keep glass separate and wrapped or in a closed container in case anything breaks while unloading.
- Try for a weekday morning if possible; weekends and spring cleanup periods are the busiest.
