Household Recyclables
The Agency accepts recyclables only at 1954 County Home Road, Marion, Iowa.
Solid Waste Agency staff are not authorized to unload any materials from customer vehicles or trailers. Customers are responsible for unloading items from their vehicles or trailers.
There is a cost to recycling.
Recycling is a market-driven commodity. Due to conditions outside of our control, our recycling processor may not always be able to find an end market for plastics #3 – #7.
Recycling markets change based on demand. Those items without an end market may be diverted to the landfill until a sustainable market is found. Please continue to make sure all recyclables are empty, clean, and dry!
Cardboard must be broken down and flattened to drop-off! This is to ensure there are no contaminants left in the box, such as Styrofoam, plastic bags/wraps, batteries, wood products.
