I like that they have co-mingled recycling as it all goes into one barrel and you do not have to sort it. They also have area for scrap metal (appliances, AC units, etc) ; brush (leaves, branches, and yard waste); TV's and monitors ($5 charge); and waste motor oil. $15 gets locals an annual window stick for unlimited entry. Big items and furniture requires a "bulkie coupon" which you get 3 per year. They do not accept construction waste at this time.

The recycling facility is open one day a week only. That is ridiculous considering the number of…read moreresidents in Town (nearly 10,000) and the amount of waste that is brought to this facility on that one day. Saturday, from 9 AM to 2 PM. If you have waste to recycle - bottles, glass, plastic, boxes - come early because the facility doesn't empty the canisters often. If you arrive closer to the end of the day, expect that there will be no place to put your items. The facility is generally messy on the day it is open because of the number of people who use it and the lack of support from the Town to make this facility into a proper recycling facility. There should be a compactor on site, but there isn't. I'm glad there is something here in town, but it is not efficient for the number of people. The hours should be open longer and more often.

Be prepared to hunt their inventory for really good bargains. If you know what you are looking for and understand technology, these guys are the best.

I suggest calling them before making a visit to their location. What they have available is hit and miss based on the recycling stock that they receive and ship out.

You…read morecan generally bring any type of metal here and they will give you money for it, depending on the market value of the metal and the weight. Best suggestion if bringing a lot of different metals is to separate everything into common metals. For example, separate the aluminum from the copper and light iron to get the best price for each type. Light iron generally is pennies per pound, and most often you need tons to make any money on it. Bring an entire computer, a fridge, air conditioner, etc.. get money back on the weight of the item. Great people with a new location now at 39 Hale Street, across from the old building.

Welcome to, the DUMP…read more This is the Winchester Town Dump. It's been cleaned up over the years, even if it still does stink to high heaven. There's a "swap shop" of sorts just to your right as you arrive. Rules are, if you leave something, you can take something. Most people just take. Your garage-sale leftovers will find their way here and there are people of a certain nationality who will swoop them up and re-sell them at their stores state-wide.... It's expensive to be allowed to use this place - something like $175 per month for your car to be allowed in. But it's worth it so you can dump your stuff and forget about it. There's a lot of recycling going on here these days. Didn't use to have that. If you're one of those tree hugger types, you'll appreciate it. Separate places for old monitors and air conditioners, yard waste, metals, and donated clothing. Hours: Sunday Closed Monday Closed Tuesday 8:00am - 3:00pm Wednesday 8:00am - 3:00pm Thursday 12:00pm - 7:00pm Friday 8:00am - 3:00pm Saturday 8:00am - 4:00pm There is no municipal trash pickup in Winchester. The town operates a refuse transfer station and recycling center off Swanton Street on the edge of town. Residents currently pay $175 per family annually for a permit to deposit their trash at this spot, which is colloquially referred to as "the dump." The facility is actually a transfer station because trash is not disposed of at the site; rather the town pays to have it trucked away for incineration or dumping. Although it costs as much to operate the conveniently named "dump" as it would curb-side trash pickup, the Selectmen decided that the social interaction of citizens at the site outweighed the convenience of a more conventional trash service. Local political candidates even make occasional appearances at the dump on Saturdays, shaking voters' hands and handing out literature.

Heh I never thought about reviewing the transfer station, but it sure beats having noisy Garbage…read moretrucks coming up and down your street, not to mention slowing down the already brutal Boston area traffic...imagine trash trucks coming through town in the middle of the school rush hour period in downtown Winchester between 2:30 and 4pm. it would be insane. The transfer station is well worth the money. You can just put all of your recyclables in a few bins mixed together (paper, small metals, glass, tin, magazines, newspapers, bottled water, etc. in one or two bins and just dump it in. It used to be time consuming to have to go to a separate bin for the different items. Now it's one stop recycling! Totally awesome. I just hope they never go to pay as you throw per bag of trash. That would be a bad idea and would lead to dumping in the fells and other woodland areas, and less recycling. Pay as you throw would be a bad idea I hope they keep the current system of the fees. which work well for the town as well. it basically comes down to around $15 a month for a whole family (1 car). - for the transfer station sticker. - $175 total They also have a hazardous waste day - where you can drop off your hazardous waste for disposal. the ABC - A better chance program which has inner city kids attending Winchester High School which is a great program does an annual bottle drive at the transfer station by the K of C hall every spring as well. You can drop off your leaves and bags of leaves, off to the right as you exit the "Dump" --pssst. don't call it dump,. the town select board wants people to call it the "Transfer station" because everything in Winchester has to be upscale and hip, even the town "Dump." :P The guys at the transfer station are all nice guys and will answer any questions. They work long hard hours to keep the transfer station operational. The Swap shop isn't bad, my only complaint is I wish people would care for it more. Stop throwing dirty diapers, used potties, and broken crap in the swap shop Also please think before you leave paper, old magazines, books etc. If it can be RECYCLED PLEASE RECYCLE it. I volunteer to keep the swap shop organized and have taken out at least five boxes full of stuff that could easily have been recycled. Please try to keep the swap shop organized and not just leave stuff everywhere ...it should be more like a flea market than a place to just dump stuff. A little more organization of the swap shop would go a long way. Why not hire some people to watch the swap shop and take stuff over to the recycle bins and such when people drop off obvious stuff that is in need of recycling. Anyway the overall concept of the swap shop is awesome but it would be nice if the townspeople cared for it more. I hope they dont end up closing it down due to abuse. Overall the transfer station is a great place. Its open later on Thursdays. So if you want to beat the Saturday rush go on Thursday. I never go on Saturday because its always too crazy . They could use a smart traffic light on Swanton Street which would hep slow fast high speed traffic on the road there. as well either that or a 3 way stop sign.. Overall the "Dump" is a good place. oops I meant "transfer station.." No one tell the selectmen I called it a dump okay? XD
