Marion Transfer Station is the small transfer station on Longstreet Road used by Marion residents and local contractors hauling household and construction debris. It’s where people drop off loads to be compacted and then trucked out to a landfill elsewhere.
Drive in past an entrance booth and be ready to pull up to a scale area - transfer stations often weigh vehicles. The drop-off area is an open concrete/ashphalt yard with large bays and compactors in the middle; expect a lot of truck traffic and the smell that comes with it. Recycling or drop bins are usually set off to one side, and vehicles unload at assigned bays rather than a single chute. Lines get longer on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for a short wait at busy times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loose trash with a tarp or tie it down so nothing blows out while waiting or unloading.
- Stage materials in the truck so heavy items come out first and recyclables/metal are easy to hand off or drop in separate bins.
- Avoid midday on weekends if possible; early morning or late afternoon weekdays tend to move faster when crews aren’t as busy.
