Transfer Station
Republic Services Marion County Transfer Station
1564 Victory Rd, Marion, OH 43302
(740) 387-0394Small transfer station on Victory Road used by local residents and commercial haulers alike. It’s where Marion trash gets compacted and sent out to a bigger landfill, so neighbors swing by here instead of driving a long way for disposal.
Drive up to a staffed booth at the entrance and prepare for a short stop to get directed where to pull in. There’s a scale and a large paved tipping area with trucks and packers moving material around; things can look noisy and a bit dusty. Expect to back up to a loading area, unload, then move back to the scale before leaving since charges are usually weight-based. Lines build up on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so the yard can get busy.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring tarps or covered containers for loose debris-loads that aren’t contained can be a hassle to handle or shift in the bed.
- Try to drop off on a weekday or early in the morning to avoid long waits; spring and fall cleanup weekends are the worst for lines.
- Have vehicle access clear (flat trailer or pickup height) and be prepared to back in; the tipping spots are not set up for tight maneuvering.
