Republic Services Lake County Construction and Demolition Landfill

10209 W 181st Ave, Lowell, IN 46356

(219) 690-0644

A 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.

Before You Go

  • Keep loads tarped or covered until ready to dump so nails, dust, and loose debris don’t fly off during the drive in.
  • Have license plate and load description handy when talking to the scale/booth to speed things up at the scale.
  • Bring gloves and sturdy shoes - surfaces are uneven and there’s loose debris around the drop area.
