Winter Street Composting and Recycling Facility

A neighborhood recycling center that handles curbside-type recyclables and yard organics, used by local residents and small landscapers. Located on Winter Street in Norwood, it feels like a working municipal site rather than a retail spot - practical and a little gritty.

Pull into a single entrance where there’s usually an entrance booth and a visible scale area; expect to slow down and be directed where to drop materials. Recycling bays and large open-top containers sit out in the yard, with common items sorted into paper/cardboard, glass, metal and mixed plastics. Compost and leaf piles are kept separate in a yard area if running a composting program. Weekend mornings and spring cleanup days get busy, so lines of trucks and trailers are common and maneuvering around large vehicles is part of the scene.
