Haverhill Landfill
Haverhill Landfill, 100 Recovery Way, Haverhill, 01835, Massachusetts
Haverhill Landfill at 100 Recovery Way is the town landfill where loads that need burying are taken. Locals - homeowners with truckloads, landscapers, and haulers from the area - use it when curbside pickup won't handle something.
The site is a large, open operation with trucks coming and going; there’s an entrance booth and a scale to drive over. You'll cross a scale on the way in - tipping fees at landfills like this are typically charged by weight, so expect to stop again on the way out. Landfills of this scale commonly accept both residential and commercial loads, though fees and accepted materials vary and are overseen by state environmental agencies. The drop-off area can be dusty and uneven, and traffic back-ups happen at busy times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before leaving home; wind and passing trucks will spread debris fast if things aren’t tied down.
- Avoid peak times if possible - weekends and spring cleanup season tend to have the longest lines at the booth and scale.
- Sort out anything that might be recyclable or hazardous ahead of time; separating materials speeds up unloading and prevents surprises at the gate.
