(413) 743-8208Small municipal solid waste facility in Adams that serves local residents and small haulers. Quiet during weekdays but busier on weekends and in spring when people do cleanups. Useful for dropping off household trash, recyclables and yard debris if unsure where else to take things.
Drive up to a gate area where there’s typically an entrance booth and a place to stop so staff can check the load; plan on a short wait if there’s a line. Recycling bins and yard-waste piles are usually grouped off to one side, with roll-off containers or open bays for mixed trash further in. Expect to be directed where to pull up for dumping and then to drive across a scale before leaving at many facilities like this. The site looks functional rather than fancy-gravel or paved drive lanes, signs pointing to different drop spots, and stacked containers or piles of brush and leaves.
