Nahant St Yardwaste Site in
Wakefield Township (MA)

A great resource to have in town.

My wife had to go to town hall and pay 25$ for a dump permit. This was one day ago. She asked, what time are you guys open until on Saturday's? The folks at Town Hall said, "We are open until 4 pm on Saturdays." My wife then, just to be extra safe, said "okay, so you guys are open until 4:00 p.m. this Saturday?" They responded, "yup". I borrowed a pickup truck, and spent over an hour packing it with yard waste, because when I checked the town website, it said that loads must be covered. So I went a little overboard in making sure that I fit everything and was able to cover it properly. I drove over to the dump at 2:00 p.m., lo and behold, despite the giant sign claiming they are open until 4:00, the gate was locked, not a single employee in site. Now I have to go back to my house unload all of the yard waste back onto my front lawn, clean out the truck I borrowed and bring it back. I just wasted my whole Saturday, I'm all cut up from the branches, covered in sweat and crap, for nothing. I checked the Wakefield calendar, the DPW calendar, and literally anything related to the dump that I could online, absolutely nowhere does it say that they are not open until 4:00 p.m. update your website, And the giant sign in front of the dump as well. You guys really screwed me.

Great resource to recycle garden branches, brush and leaves, and also collect composted soil.
