Republic Services Illinois Landfill in Hoopeston is the local burial site for municipal and commercial trash - a big, working landfill off E 4000 N Road. Regular haulers and businesses drop loads here, and residents with larger cleanouts come through when needed.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be ready to pull onto a scale; tipping is handled by weight so expect to stop twice - once in and once out. The site is large and mostly open, with active cells of piled cover soil and compacted refuse visible from the access road. Commercial trucks are common and lanes for larger rigs are obvious; smaller trucks and trailers need to watch turning radiuses. Signs guide drivers toward the unloading area, but traffic can back up during busy cleanup weeks.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loose material and secure loads for the drive in - wind can scatter trash on the road, and some municipalities enforce tarping.
- Bring paperwork for commercial loads and have vehicle size clear in advance so the scale operator can route you quickly.
- Avoid weekend spring-cleanup peaks if possible; weekday mornings are usually less crowded and easier for backing trailers.
