C T R - Curry Transfer & Recycling

C T R - Curry Transfer & Recycling is the local recycling center out on Carpenterville Road that people in Brookings use to keep stuff out of the landfill. Neighbors bring household recyclables and the odd bulky item when doing cleanup or moving. The site feels like a working, no-frills depot rather than a showroom.

Drive in off Carpenterville Road and there’s a small entrance area with a scale and a booth - vehicles often stop there first. Past that, recycling bins and drop-off points sit to the right with larger containers spread out across a gravel yard. Common materials handled at centers like this include aluminum cans, cardboard, glass, and many types of plastics, and Oregon bottle-deposit containers are usually processed here as well. Weekends and spring-cleanup times can get backed up, so expect some lineups and a bit of sorting before you leave.
