Wigand Disposal is the local disposal site out on IL-29 that folks from Chillicothe and the surrounding area use for getting rid of household and yard junk. Small-town setup - mostly for residents hauling stuff from the house, not a big regional landfill with long driveways.
Expect a simple, no-frills layout: an entrance lane with an attendant booth and usually a scale you’ll pass while coming in or leaving. Pull up to the booth, they’ll direct where to drop items, and there are open piles and roll-off areas rather than a fancy building. The yard is mostly gravel and concrete pads, with trucks and trailers turning around in a single loop.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before driving in so nothing blows off while waiting or turning.
- Bring gloves, sturdy shoes and a shovel or pry bar if tossing bulky or broken items - it’s a hands-on place.
- If possible, avoid weekend mornings during spring cleanup; smaller sites like this can back up when neighbors are clearing out garages and yards.
