The Transfer Station on Benson Brook Rd in Marion is where town residents drop off household trash and recyclables instead of driving out to a distant landfill. It’s a small, working yard where loads get compacted and then trucked away. Neighbors swing by for weekend pickup runs and seasonal cleanups.
Pull onto the access road and stop at the entrance booth; there’s usually a short queue. Expect to cross a scale at some point, so plan for an extra stop before you leave. The site is an open lot with large containers and compacting equipment visible from the road. Lines get long on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan accordingly.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort and secure loose items before lining up-tarps and straps keep things from blowing around and speed unloading.
- Try for a weekday or early morning visit to avoid the weekend backup; spring cleanup weekends are the busiest.
- Bring a town ID, sticker, or proof of residency if Marion requires it, and wear gloves for handling items.
