Solid Waste Facility

Northern Berkshire Solid Waste Mgmt District

3 Hoosac St, Adams, MA 01220

(413) 743-8208

Small 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.

Before You Go

  • Separate recyclables and yard debris before arriving-Massachusetts has strict recycling rules and many sites require materials sorted.
  • Bring a tarp or tie-downs for loose loads so nothing blows out during the drive to the drop area.
  • Plan for weekend delays, especially mid-spring; midweek trips tend to move faster if possible.
