The Town Dump in Lakeville is the municipal drop-off for local residents with everyday household trash and bulky stuff. It’s the kind of place neighbors use when a regular curbside pickup won’t do or for seasonal cleanups.
Pull up to a small entrance area with a booth and be prepared to stop briefly; there’s usually traffic control at the gate. The site is open-air with piles and containers for different materials, and recycling separation is common in Massachusetts so expect to sort things as you go. Drive lanes lead past the main disposal piles and recycling containers, and larger items often get dropped at marked sections or piles. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busier, so lines can form at the entrance and at the recycling areas.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have proof of residency ready before getting to the booth - towns commonly check IDs.
- Sort materials into clear groups (trash, recyclables, bulky items, brush) before pulling in to speed things up.
- Bring gloves and tie down any loose material on trailers; loose debris can get messy during unloading.
