Solon Redemption Center is the small town transfer spot on N Main where locals bring household trash and recyclables. Neighbors, farmers with a pickup, and anyone from nearby towns use it for regular drop-offs. It feels like the kind of place you pass if you're heading into town.
There’s a small entrance booth and a short drive past it to the tipping area and bins. Pull up slowly - vehicles stack up on busy weekend mornings, especially in spring when people are cleaning out sheds. The site looks like a typical rural transfer station: gravel or packed dirt surfaces, chain-link fences, and a few big roll-off containers. Expect to be directed where to unload and then exit back past the booth before heading home.

- Bring a tarp or straps for loose loads; wind and bumps make garbage shift, and a covered load keeps things tidy for everyone.
- Back-in parking is often easier for dumping from a pickup; a helper on the ground speeds things along if the load is awkward.
- Avoid peak times if possible - Saturday mornings and post-holiday weekends are when lines form and waiting becomes a real part of the trip.
