Solid Waste Facility
Cedar Rapids/Linn County Solid Waste Agency
1954 County Home Rd, Marion, IA 52302
(319) 377-5290Cedar Rapids/Linn County Solid Waste Agency in Marion is the local spot for dropping off household and farm-related solid refuse for Linn County residents. Neighbors, landscapers and farmers use it for general trash, yard debris and recyclables throughout the year.
Sites like this typically have a single entrance lane with an attendant booth and a scale, so expect to slow down when pulling in and again when leaving. There are usually separate areas or containers for recycling and yard waste, with piles or roll-offs visible from the driveway. The yard looks industrial rather than tidy-gravel drives, piles of brush or clean fill, and large containers are common. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, so lines can form at the entrance.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loose loads before heading over so material doesn’t blow out on the drive.
- Bring proof of local residency or vehicle registration in case it’s requested for residential drop-off.
- Drop off recyclables or yard waste in separate trips or containers when possible to speed unloading and avoid sorting on site.
