Small town transfer station on Boston Road that mainly handles household drop-offs for Newbury residents. Trash and recyclables brought here are compacted and then trucked out to a landfill elsewhere, so it’s an easier trip than driving to a distant dump. People show up with everything from bags to pickup loads and the place has a working-yard feel.
Drive to the entrance and look for a small booth and a pull-up area where vehicles pause briefly before heading to the tipping bays. There’s usually a scale involved and trucks come and go, so expect to stop again to be weighed or directed through the site. The yard has large containers, compactors and concrete or metal tipping areas, so keep animals and kids inside the vehicle. Lines build on weekends and during spring cleanups, so bring patience if it’s busy.
