Transfer Station
Columbia Gas Transfer Station
859 S Main St, Attleboro, MA 02703
Columbia Gas Transfer Station is the small transfer station on S Main Street in Attleboro that locals use to drop off household and yard loads instead of driving out to a distant landfill. It's at 859 S Main St, easy to spot from the road. Neighbors, landscapers and anyone clearing out a garage pop in here when they don't want a long drive.
You’ll pull up to a small entrance booth and pass over a scale; many transfer stations charge by weight, so plan for a stop on the way out as well. The yard is mostly paved with a handful of drop-off bays and compactors where trucks get the loads ready to haul off. Traffic flows in a loop, marked with painted arrows and lanes, so follow the pavement and signs. Expect lines on weekends and during spring cleanup - it can move slow when lots of people show up.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort and bag stuff at home so loose debris isn’t scattered around the truck bed; it makes unloading faster.
- Tie down and cover loose loads - wind can blow things out on the drive over.
- Aim for a weekday morning if possible; weekends and holiday weekends are the busiest times.
