Details

WM Mansfield Recycling (located at 73 Plymouth Street, Mansfield, MA) continues the industrial and commercial recycling legacy of Miller Recycling while integrating Waste Management's broader service capabilities. The facility primarily serves as a high-capacity processing center for industrial generators, tradespeople, and the general public, specializing in scrap metal and bulk recyclables. Core Services Scrap Metal Drop-Off: A public-access yard with state-certified scales for fast "in-and-out" service. They offer competitive market rates and on-the-spot payment (cash or check). Commercial/Industrial Programs: Providing high-volume recycling solutions, including the installation of balers, compactors, and roll-off containers (15 to 40 yards). Data & Product Destruction: Through its Northeast Data Destruction division, it offers NAID AAA-certified shredding for sensitive documents, hard drives, and media. Transportation & Logistics: Operation of a dedicated fleet of tractors and trailers to haul recyclables for large-scale business accounts. Accepted Materials The facility is highly specialized in "clean" recyclables rather than standard household "single-stream" trash. Scrap Metals Ferrous: Steel, iron, machine parts, demolition scrap. Non-Ferrous: Copper, brass, aluminum (cans/siding), stainless steel, electrical copper wire, insulated cable, radiators, and decommissioned HVAC units. Bulk Paper All grades of paper, including cardboard (OCC), high-grade office paper, and newsprint. Electronics Computers, monitors, and various e-waste (often processed for recovery of precious metals). Appliances "White goods" such as stoves and dishwashers. Note: Fluids and non-metal parts should typically be removed. Plastics Industrial-grade plastics, film (stretch wrap), and rigid plastics (generally in bulk quantities). Important Distinctions Not a Household Transfer Station: While they accept scrap metal from the public, this is not a general landfill. For everyday household garbage or "bagged" trash, residents should use the Mansfield Green Recycling Park (499 East Street) or curbside pickup. Drop-Off Hours: Typically, Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. (Saturdays vary; it is best to call ahead at 508-809-1600 to confirm current weekend hours). Certification: They are a certified recycling facility, meaning they provide the necessary documentation for businesses needing to track their diversion rates or "green" compliance.
