Who can use it
The official City of Leominster AKS page says residents of Leominster may bring rubbish and recycling to the AKS Management Transfer Station at 15 Cobbler Drive, Fitchburg. The official AKS price schedule, July 2026 to June 2027, labels the free weekly trash bag as Leominster residents only. This page describes Leominster resident access. It is not a general Fitchburg resident dump; Fitchburg's official Household Hazardous Waste page lists AKS as a dated HHW event location only.
Hours
