(219) 690-0644A working landfill on the edge of Lowell where construction and demolition debris gets buried. Contractors and homeowners with big cleanups use this place - it handles large commercial loads as well as smaller drop-offs. Expect a big, industrial site rather than anything tidy or quiet.
There’s a large scale you’ll drive over so tipping fees are typically assessed by weight, not by bag; bring any paperwork you normally travel with for vehicle identification. Pull up to the entrance booth for direction, then follow the signs to the unload area and hauling cells; the site looks like stacked dirt and heavy equipment, not like a transfer station. Trucks usually back into a dumping spot and offload onto a working pad where loaders push material into the landfill. Lines can form on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so plan for a wait if it’s busy.
