The Solid Waste Transfer Station is a well-designed facility to handle waste, traffic, and effectively manages over 150,000 transactions annually involving private and municipal haulers and the general public. The facility processes annually over 90,000 tons of solid waste in an environmentally friendly manner.

Located on County Services Parkway in Marietta, the Transfer Station is also a convenient location for residents to drop off recycling products-at no charge. The facility is open 57 hours a week including Saturdays during which time as many as 1,000 people drop off recyclable materials.

Disposal Charges:
There is a minimum charge of $7.00 for the first 400 pounds of waste materials disposed of at the Transfer Station. Weight in excess of 400 pounds is charged at a pro-rated rate of $35.00 per ton.

Certain recyclable materials (tires, used motor oil, used antifreeze, and electronic devices) must also cross the scales and do incur the $7.00 minimum charge. Additional charges will be applied for disposal of tires. This is due to security requirements and extensive handling and expenses required to process and ship these items.

Recycled Products
Recycled products accepted FREE of charge are plastics #1 and #2, tin cans, cardboard, junk-mail, aluminum cans, clean glass separated by color (clear, green and brown), newspaper, magazines, phone books, office paper, car and truck batteries. Paper types do not have to be separated.

Vegitative Waste Recovery Center

(Please use a paper product for bagging leaves, plastic contaminates the resulting mulch). Fees are based on the size of the transporting container. The clean green waste is recycled, then used as mulch and wood fuel. A variety of mulch products are available at the facility.
