Waste Management - Alsip Transfer Station

A mid-size transfer station serving the Alsip/Worth area, mainly used by residents hauling household trash and small construction loads. Locals drop off loads here to have them compacted and then shipped out to a landfill elsewhere.

Drive up to an entrance gate with a small booth where vehicles queue briefly; transfer stations in the Chicago area tend to move steady traffic, so expect other trucks or trailers around. There’s usually a scale to weigh loads and a tipping floor or drop-off area beyond the initial checkpoint. The site looks industrial - concrete aprons, chutes, and large compacting equipment in the yard - and traffic patterns favor larger vehicles, so take it slow when pulling in or backing up. Weekends and spring cleanup times commonly bring longer lines and more wait time.
