Waste Management - Northbrook Hauling

2800 Shermer Rd, Northbrook, IL 60062

(800) 964-8988

A mid-size local drop-off on Shermer Road that most Northbrook homeowners and landscapers use for regular trash runs. It handles routine residential and small contractor loads and sits near other industrial lots, so expect an active, workaday vibe.

Drive up to a small entrance booth where attendants direct traffic and point to the proper unloading lanes. There’s a weigh scale and trucks often pull forward to it, so be ready to stop and follow the attendant’s signals. Recycling and bulk drop areas sit off to the right side past the booth, while larger roll-off trucks and dumpsters are toward the back. Weekends and spring cleanup days get busy and trucks rumble through the site, so it can be noisy and dusty.

Before You Go

  • Bring helpers for heavy items; some drop spots require lifting into a container and it’s easier with an extra pair of hands.
  • Secure loose debris with tarps or tie-downs before arrival - wind and traffic can turn an uncovered load into a mess.
  • Go mid-week or mid-morning if possible to avoid the worst lines; construction trucks and weekend cleanups tend to clog the entrance.
