Local transfer station used by Brookline residents for dropping off household trash and recyclables. Small-town setup run by the town, so most users are locals bringing routine loads from the garage or basement cleanouts. Permits are commonly required in New Hampshire, and recycling is emphasized here.
The site sits on a modest plot off N Mason Rd with an entrance booth where vehicles pause before pulling in. Drive lanes lead past the booth to a series of compacting areas and open containers; expect to back up to a compactor or drop-off pit depending on the load. Recycling bins are typically grouped together not far from the entrance lane, while bulk or construction material spots are toward the back. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, can get crowded so traffic through the narrow lanes slows down.
Facility Information
