Marion County Transit Authority Transfer Station

This is the Marion County Transit Authority Transfer Station in Fairmont, the spot locals use when hauling household trash or yard debris instead of driving out to a distant landfill. Located on Jackson Street, it handles loads that get compacted and sent on to a landfill elsewhere. People from the valley use it because it’s usually closer than the big dumps over the mountain.

Drive up to an entrance area with a small booth or gate-plan on stopping there first and then pulling through to the tipping area. The site is built for trucks and trailers, so expect a ramp or high-side pit where material is deposited and large compactors or containers nearby. Weather can matter here; snow or ice on steep roads into Fairmont sometimes slows things down. Lines are common on weekends and during spring cleanups, so there may be a short wait before the scale or drop-off point is reached.
