Landfill 33 Ltd.
Landfill 33 Ltd., 1713 S. Willow Street, Effingham, 62401, Illinois
Landfill 33 Ltd. sits on S. Willow Street in Effingham and is where local residents, contractors and haulers bring trash to be buried. It looks and feels like a working landfill - heavy equipment, dirt roads and large disposal cells dominate the site.
Drive up to a modest entrance with an attendant booth and a weigh scale; like most landfills, tipping fees are typically charged by weight so trucks often cross the scale. After the booth the roadway leads toward the active dumping area where equipment moves loads around and cover material is staged. Vehicles queue at busy times and drivers will usually have to back into a dumping spot, then head back over the scale on exit.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads well so nothing blows out on the drive in; loose debris is messy and slows everyone down.
- Bring sturdy footwear and be prepared for gravel and uneven ground around the working face.
- If hauling a large or commercial load, allow extra time for maneuvering and possible lines at the entrance and scale.
