Republic Services Illiana Crown Point Transfer Station

Republic Services Illiana Crown Point Transfer Station sits on Wheeler Street in Crown Point and is used mostly by local residents and small haulers wanting a closer drop-off than a distant landfill. It’s a transfer station where loads are compacted on site and then hauled off to a landfill elsewhere.

The site looks industrial - low buildings, big roll-up doors and regular semi traffic. Expect an entrance area with a booth and a scale, since many transfer stations charge by weight; plan for a brief stop there. After that vehicles move toward open bays or a tipping area where loads are dumped and compacted, so watch for backing trucks and follow traffic flow. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest.
