Small, practical place where local residents drop off household trash and small commercial loads. Located on Aurora Ave Ln, this Republic Services site gets a steady stream from the city and nearby suburbs. People come here when a pickup won't handle what they have or for quick trips during cleanups.
Drive up to a gated entrance with an attendant booth; there’s usually a scale nearby so vehicles may be weighed as they enter or leave. Pull forward as instructed and follow the signs to the tipping area or transfer point-large dumpsters and compactors sit out in the open with room for trucks to maneuver. The lot looks industrial: paved areas, concrete walls, and traffic lanes for big rigs; expect some noise from trucks and occasional backing beepers. Weekends and spring cleanup weekends tend to be busier, so lines can form at the booth and out on the approach road.

Before You Go
- Bring something to secure loose material in the truck bed or trailer so debris doesn’t blow out while waiting in line.
- Arrive with an idea of how the load will be presented (covered, tied down, or in bags) to speed up the drop-off process.
- Have paperwork or vehicle info handy if it’s a commercial load-it helps keep the stop brief when the booth asks for details.
