Transfer Stations

NRL operates 5 transfer stations throughout the Brooks Newell Region. Transfer stations are used as a central location for different types of municipal solid waste. The waste stored at the transfer stations are eventually transported by truck to the main landfill for disposal.

Only small quantities of acceptable municipal solid waste and recyclable products are accepted at our transfer stations. Large loads, and commercial waste must be taken directly to the main landfill for proper management and disposal.
