If you are a resident of Leominster, I think you can take it to the transfer station on Rt. 117 (Near the 190 junction). You should call the DPW for details.

I'm fairly certain you need a car tag to dump there but I don't think they care if you're just dropping off electronics, since they charge you a fee anyway. It's reasonable, $5-30(iirc), depending on size. Take care, James
