(541) 933-2823

Small county-style transfer station a lot of Marcola folks use when they don't want to drive all the way to a regional landfill. Mostly residential cars and small trailers show up with household trash, yard debris, and recyclables. The place feels practical rather than fancy - just a booth, some tipping bays, and big containers.

Drive up to a staffed entrance booth where vehicles are briefed and routed; there's usually a scale you cross so weights can be recorded, meaning a stop on the way out is common. Pull-ups and backing into a metal tipping area are the norm, with compactors and roll-off containers visible around the site. Recycling bins tend to sit to one side, and Oregon-style bottle returns and sorting rules are something to pay attention to before getting there. Weekends and spring cleanup times often have lines, so expect short waits during busy periods.

Before You Go

  • Bring items already separated-keep bottles and eligible recyclables apart from general trash to save time and meet local sorting expectations.
  • Have the vehicle load easy to access and able to back up; tipping bays are set up for quick backs and dumps rather than awkward maneuvering.
  • Plan to arrive earlier in the day on weekends or during spring yard-cleanup season to avoid long queues.
