(413) 781-0425Republic Services McNamara Transfer Station is the local transfer station on Rose Street in Springfield, used by residents and small haulers dropping off household trash and recyclables. It’s the kind of place people bring full carloads or pickup loads instead of driving out to a distant landfill.
Drive up to a gated entrance with a small booth and stop to check in; there’s usually a scale you’ll cross and you’ll be weighed as you leave. The site is industrial - big concrete tipping bays, roll‑off containers, compactors and the steady noise of trucks coming and going. Recycling and separated materials are typically off to one side, and signs or bins mark where different loads go. Expect a short wait when trucks are lining up, especially on weekends or during spring cleanup.
