Small county transfer station serving Marion residents and folks from nearby rural areas who prefer not to drive to a distant landfill. Local pickup trucks, trailers, and the occasional contractor truck are common here. The site is used mostly for dropping off household junk, yard waste, and construction debris before it's compacted and hauled out.
A single-lane drive leads up to a small entrance booth where vehicles line up to check in; expect to stop and be directed where to pull up. The drop-off area is a handful of concrete bays and a large compactor or trailer where material is shoveled or dumped. The grounds look more industrial than tidy - piles of material, heavy equipment, and dust are normal. Weekends and spring cleanups tend to have the longest lines, so there can be a bit of waiting and maneuvering around other trucks.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring strong gloves and closed-toe shoes; the ground can be uneven and there’s loose debris around the bays.
- Secure and tarp loose loads before leaving home so wind doesn’t scatter material on the drive in.
- Drive slowly through the site, follow staff directions if given, and keep children and pets inside the vehicle for safety.
