Small, practical disposal site just off S Old State Rd 37 that locals use for household cleanouts and yard waste. People from Bloomington and nearby areas swing by with truck beds, trailers, or van loads when doing seasonal cleanup or renovations.
A manned entrance booth and a weigh scale are typical at places like this, so expect to slow down at the gate and drive across a scale before leaving. Pull-up lanes lead to different drop-off piles and containers, with heavy equipment and compacted trash visible behind fencing. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so there can be a wait; larger trucks move through more slowly when unloading. The site looks busy and industrial - bring a tarp or straps for loose loads and be ready to follow directions for where to put different items.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Try to come midweek or early in the morning to avoid the weekend rush.
- Have loads covered and secured so debris doesn’t blow out while driving or while waiting in line.
- Plan for traffic when pulling back onto S Old State Rd 37-give yourself extra time for entering and exiting.
