Grundy County Convenience Center

Grundy County Convenience Center at 97 Vernon Ave in Altamont is the small-town drop-off for residential trash, recyclables, and yard debris. Neighbors bring household bags, lawn waste, or small truckloads rather than commercial hauls. The site is a convenience center, so expect a compact, no-frills layout with separate containers rather than a full transfer station.

Pull up to the drop-off area and follow the flow of traffic to the containers; the layout is compact so parking and maneuvering can feel tight with larger trucks. There may be a small entrance booth or the site might be unattended, so have materials ready to unload. Recycling bins, trash roll-offs, and a place for yard waste are typically grouped close together, which makes sorting at the vehicle helpful. Weekends and spring-cleanup times get busy, and heavy items usually require an extra hand to lift.
