About Us
The services at the Transfer Station, located at 35 Lower County Road, are provided to the residents of the Town of Roxbury. An annual permit is required for access which can be purchased in the Tax Collector's office in Town Hall. The permit is from July 1st through June 30th.
The Transfer Station is the primary location for the collection of "solid waste" and recycling. Recycling is mandatory, please review the Regulations and Recycling Guide or ask for help if you have any questions. When residents recycle, the Town defers costs because the tipping fee for removal of trash is reduced. We also generate revenue from recycled products. The more residents recycle, the more revenue that is generated and the less tipping fees the Town pays for the removal of the trash.
After a permit is acquired, we only have minimal fees for additional bulky waste. The fees are paid in the Selectman's Office and the receipt is turned in to the Operator.
All materials deposited at the Roxbury Transfer Station must originate from residential properties of Roxbury residents.
Permit Stickers are required on all vehicles to use the Transfer Station. Permits should be placed in the lower left hand corner (driver's side) of the front windshield.
Permits are available in the Tax Collectors office, Tuesdays & Thursdays 9am to 12 noon and 1pm to 4pm and Friday mornings from 9am to 12 noon.

Need to dispose of a mattress? Roxbury is participating in a program that allows you to bring your unwanted mattress to the Washington Transfer Station at absolutely no cost. To utilize this service, you will need to complete a signed application, which you can find at the link provided below. Additionally, we ask that you pre-notify the Transfer Station about your intended drop-off to ensure a smooth process.
Mattresses must meet specific criteria for disposal: they must be clean, dry, free of stains, and devoid of any pests. Please note that box springs are not included in this program but can be disposed of at the Roxbury Transfer Station free of charge.
