DMV Fairmont Examination Center is the local waste drop-off on Marion Square that folks around Fairmont use for household cleanouts and small loads. People from nearby neighborhoods and valleys usually bring things here when curbside pickup isn't an option. The site sits in a fairly open lot, so it can look busy on weekend mornings.
Pull up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop briefly before moving into the site. There will be a scale and areas with large containers or roll-off trailers where vehicles line up to unload. The ground is mostly paved but can get messy after heavy rain or snow because of the surrounding mountain runoff. Expect clear sightlines across the lot, with traffic moving slowly while vehicles back into drop spots.

Before You Go

- Have proof of local address ready in the vehicle so it’s easy to show if asked.
- Try to go midweek or early in the morning to avoid the longer weekend lines, and allow extra travel time if weather in the mountains is bad.
