Advanced Disposal Valley View Landfill

1145 Bear Rd, Decatur, IL 62522

(217) 963-2976

This is the Valley View Landfill on the edge of Decatur - the kind of place haulers and local businesses use when trash needs final burial. Most people bringing larger loads or commercial trucks will end up here rather than a transfer station; it’s a true landfill with visible working faces and heavy equipment moving around.

Drive up to a concrete scale and a small entrance booth where trucks queue to be weighed; expect to stop on the way in and again when leaving since tipping fees are typically assessed by weight. The site is large and open, with dirt roads, roll-off activity, and compacting machinery working the cells - big piles and steep slopes are common. Commercial loads are accepted here, so see trucks and trailers parked near the working area while smaller residential pickups usually pull up to an assigned spot to unload. Traffic can slow down during spring cleanups or weekends, and be prepared for dust and mud after rain.

Before You Go

  • Have loads secured and tarped; wind and hills can shift loose material on the drive in.
  • Approach the scale slowly and follow directions from the booth - drivers will often direct where to pull off for dumping.
  • Expect rough ground and watch for heavy equipment; wear sturdy shoes and keep a safe distance from working machines.
