2840 E 13th Rd, Ottawa, IL 61350

(815) 434-1808

Republic Services LandComp Landfill is the big landfill out on E 13th Road that handles household trash and commercial loads for the Ottawa area. Trucks of all sizes show up here-residents and haulers both use it. The site is clearly a final-burial landfill with the scale and footprint you'd expect outside a small city.

Drive past the entrance booth and you'll see a scale for weighing vehicles; tipping fees are charged by weight so vehicles stop there both in and out. The driveway leads up to tipping areas and capped cells with heavy equipment and dirt berms visible around the site. Expect a functional, industrial feel-lots of compacted piles, big trucks, and gravel surfaces rather than neat public drop-off bays. Commercial loads are accepted, so there will often be semi trailers and roll-offs alongside pickup trucks.

Before You Go

  • Cover loads and secure loose material before arriving so nothing blows out on the road or lot-tarps and tie-downs save time when backing to the tip area.
  • Have a plan for where trash will go in the truck so unloading is quick; backing into the tipping face is easier when helpers know the order of bins.
  • Allow extra time on weekends and during spring cleanup-lines and wait times increase when more people are hauling brush and junk.
