Waste Facility
Rochelle Municipal #2
Rochelle Municipal #2, 6513 South Mulford Road, Rochelle, 61068, Illinois
Rochelle Municipal #2 on South Mulford Road is the town’s local disposal site for residents and small haulers. Folks bring household junk, yard debris and other bulky loads here. The place is practical and no-frills - lots of open space, heavy equipment and concrete pads.
Pull into a short queue and stop at a small entrance booth before heading farther onto the property. Many municipal sites have a scale and charge by weight, so be ready to be weighed on the way out. Past the booth are drop-off pads, rows of containers and loaders moving around; keep an eye out for large trucks. Weekends-especially spring cleanup season-can get backed up, with a steady line of vehicles.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have proof of residency handy (driver’s license or a utility bill is commonly requested) so paperwork doesn’t hold up the visit.
- Secure and sort the load before getting to the booth: tarps and straps prevent spills and separating brush/metal/general trash speeds unloading.
- Skip the busiest times if possible-weekday mornings or late afternoons are usually quieter than weekend mornings during peak cleanup season.
