Disposal Site
Ravenswood Disposal Service, Inc
6660 S Nashville Ave, Bedford Park, IL 60638
(773) 722-3043Small disposal site at 6660 S Nashville Ave in Bedford Park that locals and small contractors use to drop off household and construction-type loads. Not fancy - it's the kind of place people swing by when clearing out a garage or finishing a remodel.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop; there’s usually a scale involved so plan on pulling up twice. The yard is open with concrete pads, piles and roll-off containers, and you'll see trucks coming and going. Backing space can be tight near the drop-off points, so take it slow and watch for heavy equipment. Weekends and spring-cleanup times often have the longest lines and slower turnover.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort and tarp loads before getting there - unloading goes faster when similar items are grouped and loose stuff is contained.
- Wear sturdy shoes and gloves; the site gets dusty and there’s often broken material underfoot.
- Avoid weekend mid-mornings if possible; arriving during off-peak times usually means shorter waits and easier access for backing up.
