Recycling Services - Residential & Commercial

Recycling and garbage collection services in Brookings are administered by Curry Transfer and Recycling (CTR).

Residential: Curbside recycling is picked up each week; residents who have signed up for trash service will receive a recycling tub to be used for recyclable materials (PDF). More information about what can be recycled is available on CTR’s website.

Commercial: Depending upon need, CTR offers both cart & dumpster options for commercial recycling.

Recyclable material is also accepted at CTR’s Brookings yard and all Transfer sites.
