Disposal Site

Sutter Disposal

512 W Main St, Shumway, IL 62461

(217) 821-1207

Small-town disposal site on Main Street that locals use for household cleanouts and small loads from farms and garages. Not flashy - more of a working lot than a visitor center, and most users are residents from Shumway and nearby towns. Expect a straightforward, no-frills place for dropping off everyday rubbish.

Drive in off W Main and follow the lane toward a small entrance booth and a handful of drive-up tipping areas. There’s usually a scale near the entrance, so vehicles commonly stop twice: once coming in and again when leaving. Concrete pads and open pits for dumping make the site look like a working yard rather than a tidy recycling park. Lines can form on weekends or during spring cleanup, so trucks and trailers will be parked or queued along the drive.

Before You Go

  • Pull a little past the booth so the attendant (if present) can see what type of load is being brought in before directing where to tip.
  • Have loads loosely sorted in the truck or trailer - bulky items separate from loose bagged trash - to speed unloading and avoid extra trips.
  • Back in carefully when it’s busy; space is tight and larger trucks need room to maneuver around the tipping pads and piles.
