Montague Recycling Center

Montague Recycling Center at 11 Sandy Ln is the local spot residents use to keep everyday recyclables out of the trash. People from Montague and nearby towns bring single-family and small-load items here for drop-off. Massachusetts’ strict recycling rules mean most visitors arrive with materials already sorted.

The site looks like a working yard with a few large containers and bays for different materials; bring items in a vehicle that can be backed up or unloaded easily. Many centers in the state separate paper, cardboard, glass, plastics and metals, and there are often special programs for things like electronics or bulky items. Expect to move from a curbside or pull-up area to the appropriate container, and have loads organized so unloading is quicker. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busiest, so lines and waiting are common then.
