Norwood Public Works is the town’s municipal waste facility where local residents drop off household trash and recycling. People from Norwood bring their car or truck loads here for disposal and recycling, not a commercial operation for businesses.

Drive up to a gated entrance with a small office/booth and an open yard beyond it; staff usually check vehicles before directing traffic. There’s a mix of roll-off containers, compactors and piles of bulky items visible from the driveway, and recycling bins are typically grouped to one side. Vehicles often pull up to an intake point or scale area-loads are handled by weight or by type at many public works sites, so plan for a short stop to sort and be directed. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so expect a line if arriving during those peak periods.

Before You Go

  • Sort recyclables and regular trash before getting to the site-Massachusetts has strict recycling rules and separated loads move faster.
  • Bring straps or tarps for loose loads and have a helper ready for heavy or awkward items; it’s much easier unloading with an extra set of hands.
  • Aim for a weekday or early morning to avoid longer waits; if a line is visible at the entrance booth, that’s a sign to come back at a quieter time.
