Devens Recycling Center LLC

45 Independence Dr, Devens, MA 01434

Devens Recycling Center LLC is the local recycling drop-off in Devens for residents and small-scale cleanouts. People bring household recyclables and separated materials here instead of taking them to the transfer station in town. The center is practical and mostly used by folks cleaning out garages or bringing a trunk full of sorted recyclables.

Drive into 45 Independence Drive and follow the lane toward the processing yard; there’s usually an entrance/office booth and a scale area at similar centers, so expect to slow down when pulling in. Bins and large roll-off containers sit out in the yard, with common items grouped together and clear signs asking that materials be separated before unloading. The surface is paved and open, so trucks and cars can back up to containers; weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest. Staff nearby typically direct traffic and the site posts lists of banned or restricted items in line with Massachusetts recycling rules.

Before You Go

  • Bring materials already sorted by type - cardboard flattened, glass separated from mixed containers - to speed up unloading.
  • Secure loose items in the back of the vehicle and tie down anything that might blow out when driving through the yard.
  • Plan for possible waits on weekends or during spring cleanup season; a quick load can turn into a short queue if multiple vehicles are there.
