Boxborough Transfer Station

550 Codman Hill Rd, Boxborough, MA 01719

Get Directions

Small-town transfer station at 550 Codman Hill Rd used by Boxborough residents for dropping off household trash and recyclables. The site compacts and consolidates loads before those trucks head out of town, so it's a handy local option instead of driving to a distant landfill. Expect other residents, landscapers, and the occasional contractor during busy times.

Pull up to an entrance booth/scale area where vehicles usually stop briefly; many transfer stations charge by weight so there is often a second stop on the way out. The site looks industrial-big concrete bays, compactors, and a few roll-off containers-and traffic moves in a simple flow from unloading points back to the exit. Recyclable materials are typically separated into different containers, and because Massachusetts has strict recycling rules it's normal to see signs or stations asking for source-separated items. Weekends and spring cleanup days get congested, with trucks and trailers queued behind cars.

Before You Go

  • Sort and bag materials at home-flatten cardboard and separate recyclables from trash to speed unloading and avoid extra handling at the gate.
  • Bring basic personal protection: closed-toe shoes and gloves; surfaces can be dirty and there’s often loose debris on the ground.
  • Expect lines on weekend mornings and during seasonal cleanups-arrive prepared with a secured load and a clear plan for which items go where to move through faster.
