Solid Waste Facility

Marquette County Solid Waste Management Authority

600 Co Rd NP, Marquette, MI 49855

(906) 249-4125

Local solid waste site serving Marquette residents and nearby townships. People bring household trash, yard debris and recyclables here rather than hauling them out of county. It’s the kind of place locals drop by with a trailer, pickup, or a load from a cleanup day.

There’s a single entrance lane with a small booth where vehicles pause before pulling in. A scale and weighing area are visible near the drive; expect to stop there as part of the in/out process. Different drop-off piles and containers are spread across a gravel/packed surface rather than a paved lot, so slow down and watch for tight turns. Weekends-especially spring and fall cleanup times-tend to be noticeably busier with a line to get in.

Before You Go

  • Bring tie-downs or a tarp for loose yard material; windy days scatter leaves and grass if loads aren’t secured.
  • Have items sorted roughly by type in the truck so unloading goes quicker once at the right drop area.
  • Use a smaller vehicle if possible for busy days; long trailers can be awkward to maneuver around piles and other vehicles.
