Bloomingdale has no landfill of its own. Dumpster loads from the village go to a transfer station or landfill elsewhere in the region, where they're weighed and billed by the ton.
One of the closest is the transfer station at 1995 Powis Road in West Chicago, about 11 miles southwest of Bloomingdale. Kane County's drop-off directory lists its hours as Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 7 to 11 a.m. It takes trash, appliances, and bulky items.
Not every facility takes every kind of load. A cleanout full of household junk and a load of construction debris may head to different places, depending on what's in the container.
Leftover paint, motor oil, and household chemicals have their own destination. The Naperville Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 156 Fort Hill Drive, Naperville, IL 60540, takes them free from Illinois residents every Saturday and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., according to the City of Naperville.
That's why we ask about your debris up front. Your account manager will confirm where your load is going and walk you through the fees before delivery.
