Littleton Transfer Station

37 Shattuck St, Littleton, MA 01460

(978) 540-2671

Small town transfer station used by Littleton residents to drop off household trash and recyclables. Not a landfill - trash gets compacted here and hauled off to another site, and neighbors swing by for seasonal cleanouts and weekly runs alike.

Pull up to a staffed entrance booth and have the attendant direct where to go; there’s a scale to drive over so weights get recorded, which means stopping twice if disposing of larger loads. The site is mostly paved with concrete bays and a few large roll-off containers, with recycling bins set off to one side. Trucks and compactors are around, so expect some noise; weekends can be busy, especially during spring cleanups.

Before You Go

  • Bring items already sorted by material as Massachusetts requires stricter recycling separation-saves time at the drop-off lanes.
  • Use a smaller vehicle if possible; maneuvering a long truck or trailer in the bays can be awkward and slow down traffic.
  • Go midweek or early morning to avoid the weekend crowd and long lines.
