Small municipal dump used by Wayland residents for household cleanup and small projects. Not a fancy transfer station - more of a practical town site where neighbors drop off trash and recyclables. Expect a low-key, functional place rather than a commercial facility.
A compact site with an entrance booth and areas for different materials; there’s often a scale nearby and a spot to pull up so a vehicle can be unloaded. The recycling bins will be grouped separately from general trash, and piles or containers are labelled for common items. Traffic can stack up on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup, so short waits are normal. The surface is usually gravel or packed dirt and the layout feels more like a working yard than a retail center.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials in the truck before getting to the gate - Massachusetts requires separation of recyclables, so having things separated saves time and hassle.
- Avoid prime weekend mornings during spring and holiday cleanup if possible; showing up midweek or later in the afternoon often means a quicker trip.
- Secure loose items with a tarp or straps and bring gloves; unloading involves moving things by hand and wind can make loose debris a nuisance.
