Duxbury Transfer & Recycling Station

Duxbury Transfer & Recycling Station is the town recycling center on Mayflower Street used by residents looking to keep stuff out of the landfill. Neighbors drop off household recyclables and take part in the town’s recycling programs. The site is typical of Massachusetts centers, where separation of materials is expected under state rules.

Drive up to the entrance and slow down for the attendant booth and a scale; vehicles often stop there on both the way in and the way out. The recycling bins and compactors are clustered beyond the booth, so pull up, listen for directions, and back into the appropriate area to unload. Expect concrete pads, a few large open-top containers, and marked areas for cardboard, glass, metal and mixed paper-staff will usually point where to put things. Weekends and spring cleanup times can be busy, so there may be a short line to get in.
