Leverett Town Transfer Station

A small town transfer station in Leverett where residents drop off household trash and recyclables for compaction and transport elsewhere. Locals use it for regular garbage runs, spring cleanouts, and getting rid of items not accepted at curbside pickup. It's the practical choice when a trip to a distant landfill isn't desirable.

Drive in past a small entrance area and prepare to stop at a kiosk or scale-many transfer stations weigh loads and patrol traffic, so be ready to pull over and sort. Recycling and trash areas are usually clustered close together; bring items already separated because Massachusetts requires specific recycling separation. Loads are dumped into larger containers or pits and then compacted or loaded onto trucks, so expect to see heavy equipment and raised drop-off edges. Weekend mornings and spring cleanup times often have lines, so plan for a short wait.
