(781) 337-5100

This is the town Public Works Department location that handles residential waste drop-offs for Weymouth residents. Neighbors bring household trash, bulky items and recyclables here rather than hauling to a private transfer station. It’s the local municipal site for getting rid of things that don’t belong at curbside pickup.

The property looks like a municipal yard with a small office or booth near the entrance and paved drive lanes leading to piles and containers. Expect to pull up to the office/attendant area first and then be directed to different drop-off spots for metal, bulky items, and recyclables. Signs and painted lanes guide traffic; larger trucks and trucks with trailers are common, so give extra space when backing up. Because Massachusetts requires certain separation of recyclables and bans some items from trash, sorting before arrival keeps the visit quicker.

Before You Go

  • Sort materials at home according to Massachusetts recycling rules-mixed loads slow things down and can lead to having to re-sort on site.
  • Bring proof of residency or a town sticker if required by local policy, and have items ready to hand over so lanes keep moving.
  • Avoid weekend mornings in spring and early summer if possible; those times tend to be the busiest and lines can back up onto the street.
