Marion Recycling Drop is the local recycling center in Marion that both households and nearby farms use. Weekend and seasonal traffic picks up during spring cleanup and harvest time, so expect the pace to shift with the farming calendar.
A small drive-up booth sits near the entrance and the recycling bins are off to the right just past it. The site is an open lot with several large containers and room to maneuver a pickup or trailer; drivers usually back up to the container they need. Unloading is mostly self-serve, so plan to sort materials at the site and move things to the appropriate bin yourself. Lines build on weekends and during seasonal surges, so there can be a wait at peak times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Pre-sort materials at home into clear piles (paper, cardboard, cans, mixed recyclables) so unloading goes faster and keeps the line moving.
- Bring straps or a tarp for loose items and something sturdy to help lift heavy boxes or bundles-it's mostly manual unloading.
- Try to visit midweek or early morning to avoid weekend queues, especially during spring cleanup and harvest season.
