Town of Adams Transfer Station and Recycling Center

300 East Road, Adams, MA 01220

Town of Adams Transfer Station and Recycling Center is the municipal spot locals use to drop off recyclables and keep bulky items out of the landfill. Neighbors from Adams bring household recyclables and separated materials here, and it’s what people think of for town recycling needs.

The site looks like a typical small-town transfer station with a clearly marked entrance, areas for different material types, and a small entrance booth where people check in. Pull up slowly and follow the traffic flow; vehicles usually queue at busy times and larger trucks share the same lanes. Recyclables are generally separated into containers for paper, cardboard, metal, glass and plastics, and Massachusetts rules mean items often need to be sorted ahead of time. Expect open bays or roll-off containers rather than a polished retail setup, and be prepared to move between drop-off points with whatever is being unloaded.

Before You Go

  • Sort and load recyclables at home so unloading is quicker-flatten cardboard and keep paper dry.
  • Bring gloves and something sturdy to lift with; ramps and edge heights can be higher than they look.
  • Avoid peak times if possible-early weekday mornings are usually less busy than weekend cleanup hours.
