(508) 758-4355A small-town transfer station in Mattapoisett used by residents dropping off household trash and recyclables.

There is typically an entrance booth and a scale, so vehicles may have to stop more than once as loads are weighed and processed. Recycling and bulky-item drop-offs are usually grouped in one section while trash goes into a compactor pit. Weekends and spring cleanup days often bring lines, so plan for a short wait during busier times.
