Commercial Trash, Recycling & Yard Waste Disposal

Private Haulers, Contractors and Landscapers may use the Needham Recycling and Transfer Station for the disposal of trash, recyclables, and/or yard waste after they have purchased an annual commercial disposal sticker. Stickers are available at the Needham Town Hall, 1471 Highland Avenue, in the Treasurer's Office. The disposal stickers are valid from April 1 to March 31. Any sticker purchased after October 1, will be prorated. In addition to the sticker fee commercial entities are also charged a per ton or per yard disposal fee.
