Town of Brooks Transfer Station

Small town transfer station used by Brooks residents for dropping off household trash and small cleanups. Located on Purple Heart Hwy, it’s the kind of place neighbors drive to when hauling stuff that won’t fit in curbside bins.

A modest-sized lot with an entrance booth and a scale a short way in; plan to slow down as larger trucks move around. Pull up to the booth area, then follow signs and cones toward the compacting and container area where loads are offloaded. The site looks utilitarian-gravel or packed dirt, big roll-off containers and a compactor rather than a landfill pit. Weekends and spring cleanup times can get backed up, and winter conditions often make the ramps and driveways slick.
