A small-town transfer station where residents drop off household refuse and recyclables to be compacted and trucked out. Regular folks from Rehoboth and nearby towns use it when a trip to a distant landfill isn’t worth it. Expect a working, no-frills site rather than anything fancy.
There’s usually an entrance booth where staff check vehicles and direct traffic; pull up and wait for your turn to be waved in. A scale is often part of the flow, so vehicles may stop once when entering and again when exiting as loads are weighed. Dumping areas and compactors are visible from the drive lanes, with recycling containers set off to one side. Weekends and spring cleanup times can get backed up, so lines and some noise from heavy equipment are normal.

Before You Go
- Sort recyclables and trash before getting to the gate-Massachusetts has strict recycling rules and many places insist on material separation.
- Bring items already contained or bundled for easy handling so stopping at the booth is quick and the unload goes faster.
- Plan for some waiting time on busy days and have a plan for where to pull aside in case staff need extra time to inspect your load.
