Cambridge Transfer & Recycling

Cambridge Transfer & Recycling is the local recycling center on John Glenn Highway that folks from Cambridge and nearby towns use to drop off recyclables. Most people swing by with carloads or small trailers during cleanup weekends. It's the sort of place neighbors recommend when trying to keep stuff out of the landfill.

Drive up the paved entrance and you'll see a small booth and a scale near the driveway; traffic usually flows past the booth to the unloading area. The recycling bins and transfer piles are to the right of the main building, with larger drop-off areas for bulk items beyond that. Expect to pull up, get directed where to unload, and then drive back over the scale if the site charges by weight. The yard is industrial-looking - concrete pads, stacks of materials, and heavy equipment moving things around are all part of the scene.
