Transfer Station

Windsor Transfer Station

3799 Berkshire Trail, Cummington, MA 01026

A small transfer station in Cummington where local residents drop off household trash and recyclables before it gets compacted and hauled elsewhere. People from nearby towns use it when they don't want to drive to a landfill out of county. It feels like a practical, working site rather than a polished recycling center.

Like many transfer stations, there is usually an entrance booth and a scale; expect to pull up, talk to an attendant (if staffed), and be directed where to drive. The site layout tends to have large roll-off containers and a compacting area; vehicles line up for a quick unload and then exit. Recycling bins are commonly grouped to one side of the yard, with trash and bulky items set apart. Weekends and spring cleanup times often get busy, so there can be a short line to get in and out.

Before You Go

  • Bring materials pre-sorted: Massachusetts has strict recycling rules and most facilities expect some separation of recyclables from trash.
  • Make the load easy to handle - keep doors and lids unlocked and have loose trash bagged for fast unloading.
  • Expect a scale and an exit stop at many transfer stations, so allow extra time compared with a standard drop-off.
