Riverside Station Parking

367 Grove St, Auburndale, MA 02466

(617) 222-3200

Riverside Station Parking is the neighborhood drop-off spot in Auburndale for Newton residents getting rid of household junk and bags. Mostly used by people hauling small truckloads, car trunks, or a few boxes from a quick cleanup. It's the kind of local facility that sees a steady stream of neighbors rather than commercial haulers.

Drive in off Grove Street and look for a small entry point or booth area where folks usually pull up to check in before going further into the yard. The lot feels like a working municipal site-concrete pads, piles or containers, and places to pull close to a container or chute to unload. There is often a scale or drop-off sequence at facilities like this, so plan for a brief stop to be processed before leaving. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to be busier with lines forming at the entrance.

Before You Go

  • Sort recyclables and trash as much as possible at home; Massachusetts has strict recycling rules and separating cardboard, metal, and glass ahead of time speeds things up.
  • Bring tarps and tied-down loads for transport and wear sturdy shoes and gloves for handling loose items-surfaces can be dusty and there are often sharp bits around containers.
  • Try for a weekday or early morning visit if possible; weekend mid-mornings get backed up and maneuvering a truck is harder when the lot is crowded.
