I never thought I would see a review of my local town dump! Brookline was the first town I lived in where there was no local trash pickup. However, making the weekly trip to the dump is not difficult. They have bins for recycleables, so at least you know that money is not being wasted. The glass bin is always full of beer, liquor, and wine bottles...we know what Brookliners like to do in their relaxation time! :) Apparently, the money they get back on recycling only covers the cost to transport the bin to the recycling plant! Oh well, a penny saved is a penny earned (and hopefully a penny less on my property taxes!) Swap tables are great. I've never took anything from it, but I have dropped off a few things. I always see Maurice taking some of the really nasty items that nobody wants and tossing into the compactor. Some people drop off things that nobody would EVER want, but don't want to pay the money to dispose of them. read more

The swap table at the dump is a great place to find stuff. Many people bring very gently used items there, instead of consigning them or having a yard sale. I've gotten a lot of nice toys, books, and videos for my kids there - a chalkboard/easel, art desk, ride-on toys, etc., all in good shape. It's amazing what some people throw away. read more

Very clean for a dump - Well taken care of. I avoid the swap table - I consider the dump a deposit only facility.

Swap Table is great. It would be best if my kids would leave two toys and take one. The best part (for a guy) is the oil disposal room and the scrap lumber dump out back, not the mention the scrap metal pile. You can get rid of that old junk that you never knew what to do with. Tues and Thurs Afternoon til 8 pm Saturdays 8 to 4. read more
