Homewood Disposal in Park Forest is the local disposal site for neighborhood cleanup and small construction runs. Locals swing by with pickup loads or trailer trips; it feels like a working, no-frills place rather than a retail operation.
Pull into the drive at 20 South St and prepare to slow down; sites like this often have a small check-in booth and a scale, so expect to stop briefly at the entrance and again on the way out. Concrete drop-off areas and piles are visible from the drive, and traffic can back up on weekends or during spring cleanup. The yard is functional - compacted dirt and gravel surfaces with clear traffic lanes for trucks and pickups. Bring a tarp for loose loads and a pair of work gloves; walking around is part of the visit.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Go early on a weekday if possible - weekends get the longest lines.
- Secure loose material with a tarp and tie-downs so nothing blows out while driving or in the yard.
- Have ID and vehicle registration accessible; many local sites ask for proof of residency or vehicle information at the gate.
