Transfer Station
Chesterfield Transfer Station
18 Willcut Rd, Chesterfield, MA 01012
Small-town transfer station used by Chesterfield residents for household trash and allowed recyclables. Locals drop off loads that get compacted and hauled out to a regional landfill rather than driving to a distant dump.
There’s typically a gatehouse or entrance booth where vehicles pause before pulling in. Expect a compact site with tipping areas and large roll-off containers; recycling bins are often grouped to one side past the booth. A scale is common at these kinds of stations and many charge by weight, so vehicles sometimes stop twice - once in and once out. Weekends and spring cleanup days can get backed up, with lineups onto the road at busy times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort recyclables and trash at home first - Massachusetts facilities commonly require separation and have specific banned items lists.
- Bring items in a load that can be lifted or tipped; drive a straightforward approach so staff can direct where to pull up for the correct container.
- Avoid peak times if possible: weekday mornings or midweek usually move faster than Saturdays or holiday weekends.
