Brunswick County Transfer Sta is a local transfer station in Southport where household and small commercial loads are dropped off, compacted and then hauled out to a landfill. Neighbors use it when a quick trip to a distant landfill isn't practical and for bulk cleanups around town.
The site looks like a typical county transfer station: an entrance lane with a booth and a few bunkered areas or bays where trucks tip loads. Many transfer stations have a scale and charge by weight, so plan for a short stop both entering and exiting. There’s usually room to pull up, back a trailer into a bay, and then drive out; weekends and spring cleanup times tend to get busy. Expect concrete pads, compacted piles of trash, and separate containers or areas for recyclables or special items - exact acceptance rules vary.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Go earlier in the day to avoid weekend lines, especially during spring cleanup season.
- Secure and tarp loose loads before leaving home; wind and passing vehicles will scatter debris if not covered.
- Bring basic gloves and hand tools for unloading and have someone to help with heavy items so unloading goes quickly.
