Heath Town Transfer Station

122 Branch Hill Rd, Heath, MA 01346

(413) 337-6640

Small-town transfer station in Heath at 122 Branch Hill Rd that locals use to drop off household trash and recyclables. Mostly used by residents who don't want to haul trash all the way to a distant landfill. Easy to spot from the road if looking for the cluster of bins and the small entrance booth.

Drive up to a single lane entrance with a little booth where vehicles stop before proceeding; there's usually a scale to cross so expect to stop twice. The site is compact - a few large containers and a concrete tipping area where trucks compact and load material for transport. Recycling bins are grouped near the entrance area, while bulky items are dropped off closer to the back. Weekends, especially in spring and fall, tend to be busiest and can have a short line of vehicles waiting to pull in.

Before You Go

  • Have everything sorted and ready in the vehicle before getting to the booth so unloading goes faster and lines move quicker.
  • If bringing bulky or heavy items, use a truck or trailer and be prepared to back up to the tipping area - bring straps or a tarp to secure loads for the drive home.
  • Expect limited maneuvering space for very large vehicles; if towing something big, arrive during a weekday or a quieter part of the day to avoid tight turns and congestion.
