A town transfer station on Riverlin Street where Millbury residents drop off household trash and recyclables. People who don’t want to haul trash to a distant landfill use this spot for routine drop-offs and bigger cleanups.
A small entrance booth and scale are typical at these kinds of transfer stations, so plan for a short stop to check in and for vehicles to be weighed. Vehicle lanes lead up to open tipping areas and large compactors or roll-off containers, with commercial trucks coming and going as loads are transferred out. Massachusetts requires many materials to be separated and has lists of banned items, so have recyclables and problem items sorted before hauling them over. Weekends and spring-cleaning days tend to be the busiest times, so lines and wait times can build up.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring proof of residency or whatever the town usually requires for resident access-town transfer stations commonly ask for it.
- Sort and bundle recyclables and separate anything that might be restricted under Massachusetts rules to save time at the booth.
- Try going on a weekday morning or earlier in the day to avoid the longer lines that form on weekend afternoons.
