2277 Moen Ave, Rockdale, IL 60436

(815) 373-5220

Moen Transfer Station is the local transfer point in Rockdale where neighborhood trash and recyclables get compacted and loaded onto larger trucks. Locals and small haulers use it when a trip to a distant landfill isn’t practical. The site looks like an industrial yard off Moen Ave with a small entrance booth and bays for dropping loads.

Drive up to a staffed entrance booth and be prepared to stop and be directed where to pull up; there’s usually a short lane for inbound vehicles. The scale and tipping area are visible from the approach, with compactors and large roll-off bays beyond. Vehicles back into bays or pull up to a pit to unload, then move out so the next load can go in. Expect concrete pads, fences, and heavy truck traffic-it feels more like a working yard than a neighborhood dump.

Before You Go

  • Cover loose material with a tarp and secure it so debris doesn’t blow out while driving on Moen Ave.
  • Avoid weekend mornings and spring cleanup peak times if possible; lines can form and large trucks slow the flow.
  • Sort bulky items ahead of time and have smaller stuff ready to hand off or toss quickly to speed the drop-off process.
