Waste Management - Boston North Hauling Facility

A working-scale Waste Management facility on Merrimac Street that locals use to drop off household trash and small loads from the neighborhood. Regular homeowners and small contractors swing by when they need to get rid of a load that won’t fit at the curb. The site sits in an industrial stretch of Woburn, easy to spot from the road.

Drive up to a staffed entrance booth where vehicles are checked before being directed to the unloading area. There’s a scale to cross - charges are typically by weight so vehicles usually stop on the way out as well. The yard is large with big roll-off containers and commercial trucks moving around; expect to be directed where to pull up and unload. Recycling in Massachusetts requires separation, so there are separate bins and signs for different materials near the right side of the site.
