Recycling Center

Marlborough Recycling Facility

860 Boston Post Rd E, Marlborough, MA 01752

Get Directions

Marlborough Recycling Facility on Boston Post Rd E is the local recycling center people use for household recyclables and pickup truck loads from weekend cleanups. Neighbors swing by with bags of cans, cardboard, and mixed recyclables rather than hauling everything to the landfill. Expect a straightforward, slightly industrial yard rather than anything flashy.

Pull up to an entrance area with a small booth and lanes for different drop-offs; traffic is directed from there so follow the flow. Many recycling centers have a scale early in the drive, so be ready for a second stop on the way out if fees are assessed by weight. The yard is dominated by roll-off containers and rows of large bins for paper, cardboard, glass, metals and common plastics, and some places run occasional special collections for electronics or household hazardous items. Weekends and spring cleanup days get backed up, so having things sorted in the truck really speeds the visit.

Before You Go

  • Flatten and bundle cardboard, and keep paper separate from glass or mixed containers to make unloading faster.
  • Secure loose items in boxes or under a tarp so nothing blows out when opening the truck; smaller items can clog the drop-off process.
  • Aim for an early weekday visit if possible; when a line forms, it moves slowly unless everything is pre-sorted and easy to hand off.
