Court Street Transfer Station

Court Street Transfer Station is the local transfer spot in south Brooklyn where residents and small haulers drop off household loads to be compacted and hauled out to a landfill. People who live nearby or have a trunk full of bulk items use it when they don't want to drive out to a distant landfill. It's an urban, workaday place - not a park, just practical and noisy at times.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and be prepared to stop briefly; transfer stations usually weigh loads and charge by weight, so there’s often a scale to pass. The site feels industrial: large roll-off containers, compactors, and frequent tractor-trailers coming and going. Pull up to the appropriate unloading area as directed at the booth, then sort what’s required on-site before dropping it into the skips. Expect a gritty, functional layout with a lot of concrete and asphalt, not landscaped grounds.
