A small community waste disposal site off IL-72 that locals use for dropping off household and yard refuse. Walk-in homeowners and small haulers tend to show up here rather than heading to a big landfill farther out of town.
Pull up to an entrance booth and slow down - most of these places have a scale and paperwork station near the entrance, so expect to stop twice if weight is measured. The site itself is an open lot with roll-offs, compacted piles and a few paved areas for unloading; trucks and trailers are common. Follow the traffic flow painted on the ground or the cones to the appropriate dumping spot and then back around to the outbound scale if one is used.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or straps for loose loads; items that fly out will be flagged and slow everyone down.
- Avoid weekend mornings during spring cleanup if possible - lines get long and backing room is limited.
- Have a clear plan for bulky items (which end up at different containers) so getting in and out doesn’t require extra trips around the site.
