GFL Brimley Hauling and Transfer Station is the local transfer station in Brimley where household and local haulers drop off trash to be compacted and sent on to a landfill. People who live nearby or hire small haulers use it because it’s closer than driving all the way to a distant landfill.

There’s usually an entrance booth and a scale area where vehicles stop and are weighed before or after dumping, since transfer stations commonly charge by weight. Vehicles pull in, unload into large bays or containers, and the material gets compacted and loaded onto bigger trucks. The site looks industrial - big containers, compactors, and truck traffic - so expect some backing and noise. Weekends and spring cleanup days tend to be the busiest times, so lines can form.

Before You Go

  • Secure loose items and tarp loads before getting to the gate so unloading goes quicker and nothing blows out on the road.
  • Bring a plan for how to turn and back up in tight spaces; trailers and pickups need extra room to position at the drop-off bay.
  • Separate bulky items so they’re easy to move; having one person ready to help guide your vehicle can shave time off the visit.
