Rochelle Landfill

Rochelle Landfill is the town’s burial site for municipal and commercial trash, out on S Mulford Rd for larger pickups and haulers. Neighbors, landscapers and commercial drivers all use it when trash has to be taken to the final disposal site rather than a transfer point.

There’s usually a scale and a small booth drivers pull up to - tipping fees are handled by weight or a set minimum, so expect to stop to be weighed in and then again on the way out. The site looks like a working landfill: compacted dirt and piled cells, gravel drives and heavy trucks coming and going; the active dumping area is down a lane from the entrance. Weekends and spring cleanup times can back traffic up, and commercial vehicles are common here since this is a final disposal location.
