Waste Facility
Marquette County SWL
Marquette County SWL, 600 County Road NP, Marquette, 49855, Michigan
Marquette County SWL is the county landfill on County Road NP, used by residents and local haulers for household and yard trash. It's the place folks go when curbside pickup won't take something or during seasonal cleanups.
Pull in off County Road NP and there’s a short drive toward an entrance area with a small booth and traffic lane for trucks and pickups. Many sites like this have a scale, so plan to stop briefly before or after dumping if charges are by weight. The site is a mix of paved and gravel areas with large open tipping spots and rows of containers or bays; expect dust on dry days and mud when it rains. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, while weekdays usually move a bit faster.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials into piles at home so unloading is faster - keep metal, brush, and bagged trash separated if possible.
- Secure and tarp loads before the trip; loose leaves, mulch or bags blow out on the road and make a mess at the site.
- Wear boots and gloves and be prepared to climb into the truck bed or trailer to shift things; bring a shovel or a rake for small cleanup tasks.
