Royalston Transfer Station on Town Dump Rd is where most locals haul their household trash and recyclables instead of driving to a distant landfill. Residents and small haulers drop off loads that get compacted and then trucked out to a landfill elsewhere. It’s a working town dump-functional and plain, not a polished recycling center.
There’s usually an entrance booth and a clear drive-in lane, so pull up slowly and follow the flow of traffic through the yard. A scale is common at places like this, so expect to be weighed before or after unloading. Piles, roll-off containers and heavy equipment are visible on site, and transfer trucks come and go with compacted loads. Recycling and bulky-item areas tend to be off to the side, with room to maneuver if driving a truck or trailer.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort and loosely bundle materials before getting to the gate - unloading moves faster when recyclables, bulky items and regular trash are separated.
- Avoid weekend afternoons and peak spring cleanup times if possible; lines can back up and move slowly.
- Secure loose items and tarps in truck beds, leave tailgates accessible, and pull well into the lane so large trucks and equipment have room to pass.
