A straightforward local disposal site serving Bradley and the surrounding parts of Kankakee County. Neighbors drop off household trash, yard waste and construction debris here; it's the kind of place people use when the curbside pick-up won't take something.
Drive up to a small entrance booth where payment is handled and paperwork is likely checked; there’s usually a short line on weekends. A scale is often part of the process, so plan on stopping twice if the site charges by weight. The yard feels industrial - open piles, roll-off containers and a few paved lanes for trucks to pull up and empty. Follow the signs and traffic flow; pull into the lane that matches the material being dropped and then move on to the exit scale if required.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads before coming - tarps and straps keep debris from blowing out on the road and can save time at the gate.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings and spring clean-up weekends if possible; weekday afternoons tend to be quieter.
- Bring a helper for heavy or bulky items so unloading is safer and faster; trailers and pickups often need an extra set of hands.
