Transfer Station
Sudbury Transfer Station
20 Boston Post Road, Boston Post Rd, Sudbury, MA 01776
(978) 440-5421Small-town transfer station used by Sudbury residents to drop off household trash and recyclables. Mostly used by people who don't want to drive all the way to a landfill and need a closer spot to unload. Expect a working, no-frills place rather than anything fancy.
A booth near the entrance and a scale are common features at transfer stations like this, so there will be a stop before getting into the main unloading area. Vehicles pull up to different bays or open tipping areas to unload; larger trucks and compactors are usually visible nearby. Recycling containers are typically grouped together, and Massachusetts rules mean separation of certain materials is often required. Weekends and spring cleanup days can have lines, so the wait can be longer than during weekday hours.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring items already sorted into trash versus recyclables to move through the lanes faster.
- Have proof of residency handy if the station requires it, and expect to drive slowly through the site-keep loads covered and secure.
- Load larger or awkward items so they’re ready to grab and toss when at the bay to minimize time spent blocking others.
