Modern Disposal on Townline Road is the local disposal site in Tomah for anyone needing to drop off household or yard junk. It’s located at 800 Townline Rd and is the place neighbors use for garage cleanouts, small contractor loads and trailer runs. Expect to see pickups, trailers and roll-off activity on busy days.
Pull in to the entrance and there’s an entrance booth near the road before the main lot opens up. Expect to cross a scale; many disposal sites charge by weight, so plan for a stop on the way out. The site looks like an open industrial yard with piles, bins and concrete pads, and it can get dusty with equipment and vehicles moving around. Recycling or drop-off containers tend to be toward the front while larger disposal piles sit farther back, so organize loads with unloading in mind.

Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps and straps to keep loose material from blowing off during the trip and while waiting in line.
- If towing a trailer, allow extra room for turning and back in slowly; having someone guide the reverse makes a big difference.
- Avoid peak weekend and spring-cleanup times if possible - weekday mornings usually move faster and have shorter lines.
