(309) 434-2225

Citizen Convenience Center is the small residential drop-off point in Bloomington at 410-316 S East St. Neighbors bring household trash, recyclables and yard debris here rather than hauling to a big landfill. It’s the kind of place used by local residents for quick, short runs rather than commercial haulers.

The site is compact compared with a full transfer station, with several open-top containers and roll-offs visible from the drive. Pull up to the lane, unload at the appropriate container and then drive back out; expect tighter turns and less room to maneuver than at larger facilities. Weekends and spring cleanup times commonly get busier, so a short wait is not unusual. Some convenience centers are unstaffed or only partially staffed, so be prepared to follow posted instructions and signs.

Before You Go

  • Sort materials before getting there so unloading is quicker-have recyclables separated from regular trash and keep yard waste bundled or bagged.
  • Bring gloves and a tarp or straps to secure items while transporting; the containers can be deep and loose debris may shift during unloading.
  • Park close while unloading so others can pass; if traffic builds, pull forward as soon as finished to keep the line moving.
