Peoria Disposal Company is the local disposal site people in Peoria use for household cleanouts and contractor drop-offs. Located just off W Southport Rd, it handles everyday community trash rather than being one of the giant regional landfills.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop; there’s a scale nearby so vehicles usually pause on both the way in and the way out. The yard is mostly open with piles and containers visible from the driveway; trucks and pickups share the same lanes, so watch for backing vehicles. Recycling and drop-off bins are set off to the side a short way past the booth, and larger loads are directed toward the heavier equipment and tipping area. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, get noticeably busier than weekday mornings.

Before You Go
- Bring tarps and straps so loose stuff doesn’t blow out while waiting in line; it makes unloading quicker and safer.
- Load the truck bed so heavy items are easy to reach first and small stuff is in bins or tied down for fast handoff.
- If possible, aim for a weekday morning to avoid long weekend stacks of vehicles and longer wait times.
