Republic Services Brenham Transfer Station

Republic Services Brenham Transfer Station is a local transfer station on Hwy 36 north of town, used by residents and small haulers who don't want to drive out to a distant landfill. The site compacts incoming loads and then ships them out to a landfill elsewhere, so it feels more like a short drop-off than a full landfill visit.

The property is the size of a typical transfer station - a drive-up entrance with an attendant booth and a working yard where compacting equipment and roll-off trucks operate. Expect to pull up to the booth first, then be directed to unload in a large concrete pit or against a tipping wall and move on to the exit scale. Noise and the smell of recent loads are normal; vehicles and trucks come and go, and the surface is mostly paved with heavy-wear areas. Lines can form at busy times, so there may be a short wait before getting to the unloading spot.
