Marlborough Recycling/Transfer Center

About This Location

The Marlborough Recycling/Transfer Center, run by the Town of Marlborough on Roxbury Road in Cheshire County, is a resident drop-off serving the towns of Marlborough and Roxbury. It is open three days a week — Wednesday afternoons, Friday mornings, and Saturday mornings. Recycling is mandatory under town ordinance and is free: residents separate paper and cardboard; plastics with any recycling number (1–7) along with tin and aluminum cans; and glass. Household trash is accepted only in town clear bags ($3/bundle or $60/case). Bulky and special items carry set fees — for example $15 for a refrigerator or air conditioner, $10 for other appliances or a water heater, $5 for a stuffed chair or mattress, and $3–$30 for tires by type. Hazardous waste and compact fluorescent bulbs are not accepted here; instead, Marlborough and Roxbury residents get 12 free hazardous-waste collection days each year at the Keene Recycling Center. A free ID sticker, available at the center or the Town Clerk's Office, is required for entry.
