Champaign Wood Dump

Small local dump in Urbana that people from the neighborhood and surrounding townships use for household cleanouts and yard debris. Located on E University Ave, it’s the kind of place drivers swing by with trailers, pickup loads, or the occasional van. Expect a working, no-frills spot rather than a polished transfer station.

Pull up to an entrance area where there’s a booth or attended point to check in; vehicles usually stop there before proceeding onto the site. A scale is typically on site, so plan for a short pause to be weighed on the way in or out. The property has open tipping areas and piles or containers for different types of material, and traffic lanes for trucks and pickups to back up to the drop-off spots. Weekends and spring cleanup periods tend to be noticeably busier, with some waiting to get onto the property.
