Rapid Removal Disposal is the town disposal site in Trenton used by homeowners, landscapers and pickup drivers hauling stuff from around Grundy County. The place looks like a working yard rather than a customer-facing storefront, with a small entrance booth and a wide drive for trucks and trailers.
Pull up to the entrance booth and stop long enough to let whoever is there signal where to go; there’s usually a scale and a short waiting area before the main drop-off lanes. After the booth, follow the traffic flow past piles, bays or containers where people are unloading; larger trucks and trailers take more room, so expect to maneuver slowly. Weekends and spring cleanup days tend to be the busiest, so lines or slowdowns are common then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps or straps so nothing blows out while driving and nothing has to be picked up at the site.
- Have identification and any required vehicle paperwork handy so the stop at the entrance goes quicker.
- Sort materials as much as reasonably possible beforehand (metal separate from bulky items, branches kept together) to speed up unloading and avoid extra trips around the yard.
