Dump and Transfer Station in Beverly, MA: Where to Go

No town transfer station

The city's Solid Waste page lists curbside trash, recycling, yard waste and bulky booking through Casella and no walk-in disposal site for furniture, appliances or demolition debris. Since July 1, 2026 excess trash in bags beside the cart is not collected. The city FAQ says the Mello transfer station in Georgetown accepts bags of trash for excess. The pages do not give Mello's hours, fees or residency rules, so call them first.

For anything larger, the city's page on clean-outs is blunt: residents and tenants arrange their own debris removal. Casella will rent a dumpster at 10% off to Beverly residents.

Standley Street, hours and limits

The site is at 16 Standley Street. Hours: Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays, 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., March 21 to December 23, unless heavy snow. Off-season hours go up in December. Only proof of Beverly residency is needed, no sticker.

It takes yard waste, brush and branches up to 2 inches thick; no food, no plastic bags. A cardboard-only dumpster is on site during operating hours, with boxes broken down first.

No furniture, mattresses, appliances, paint or electronics. Leaving them there would be illegal dumping, which the Health Department takes reports on at 978-921-8591.

Textile bins and one-day events

Clothes and linens go to bins instead: Planet Aid bins at Church in the Cove, 167 Hale Street, Stop & Shop on Elliot Street and Enon Street, and Lion Gas on Enon Street, plus School Box bins in the lots of Beverly's public schools. Bagged clean, dry textiles are welcome in any condition, including torn or stained. Non-textiles left at the bins can be fined.

Electronics are taken at occasional events; Landmark School's is Nov 7, 2026, 8 a.m. to noon. Hazardous waste has its own days; see hazardous waste in Beverly.

For furniture, a full garage or a move-out, JUNKRUN takes it away: quarter trailer $209, half $319, full $519, with a $159 minimum and no travel fee.
