Marathon County Solid Waste in Ringle is the county-run spot locals use for household trash, recyclables and yard debris. People from nearby towns drop off small loads between other errands, and seasonal cleanups bring more traffic. The place feels like a working transfer site rather than a retail drop-off.
There’s usually a drive-in entrance with a small booth or gate to check vehicles, and a scale is commonly present so vehicles may be weighed. The recycling containers and yard waste piles are typically grouped near the parking/drive area, with larger transfer bays or compactors farther back. Expect an industrial, gravel-and-pavement layout with clear signage for different drop-offs and room to back trailers up when needed.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down loose items and cover loads so debris doesn’t blow out while waiting in line.
- Bring ID and vehicle info that shows local residency-county sites often verify residency for residential services.
- Avoid weekends and spring-cleanup peak times if possible; winter weather can change procedures and slow entry, so allow extra time.
