Fitchburg City Landfill

Fitchburg City Landfill in Westminster is the town’s municipal landfill where household and larger loads get buried. Locals, landscapers, and haulers bring everything that can’t be recycled or composted. It’s the kind of place used when curbside pickup or transfer stations won’t take something.

Drive up to an entrance booth and you’ll cross a scale - tipping fees are charged by weight so expect to stop for a weigh-in on the way in and again on the way out. The site is large and mostly open fields of compacted refuse and covered slopes, with active tipping areas where trucks unload and compactors work. Recycling and special drop-off spots are often separate from the main landfill area, so look for signs or follow the booth attendant’s directions for where to pull up. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to have lines of pickup trucks and trailers, while midweek is usually quieter.
