Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Northampton ReCenter open year-round?

No — the ReCenter operates seasonally, on the first and third Saturdays of the month from April through October, 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM only. It is closed November through March and on all other days. For year-round drop-off needs, the Glendale Road Transfer Station (same address) serves residents with a full transfer station permit.

Can anyone use the Northampton ReCenter, or is it residents only?

Both City of Northampton residents and non-residents can participate. A $10 annual permit is required and can be purchased on-site during open hours. Permitted members can both drop off eligible items and take home available goods for free.

Does the Northampton ReCenter accept old TVs or electronics?

CRT-style television sets are explicitly not accepted. Other electronics are not listed as accepted items — the ReCenter focuses on reusable household goods, furniture, tools, books, and similar items. For electronics recycling in Northampton, contact the city's Solid Waste Division at (413) 587-1059 or see the <a href="/ma/northampton/">Northampton recycling directory</a> for certified e-waste options.
