Homewood Disposal - Valparaiso Transfer Station

Homewood Disposal - Valparaiso Transfer Station is a waste management facility located at 3101 Bertholet Boulevard in Valparaiso, Indiana. This institution serves as a temporary drop-off point for garbage, yard waste, and recycling materials from homes and businesses in the surrounding area. The waste is then loaded into large transfer trailers and taken to landfills and composting sites.

The transfer station is open Monday through Friday from 6am to 4pm, with a minimum charge of 1.5 tons. Customers can bring large loads of waste material, such as roofing shingles, building materials, and yard waste, but they cannot drop off tires, electronic waste, liquids, engines, oils, or hazardous materials.

Upon arrival at the transfer station, vehicles and waste are weighed and recorded before and after unloading. Customers must follow instructions from the scale house operator and on-site staff for proper disposal. Hard hats and safety vests are required outside of the vehicle, and customers must stay near their vehicles at all times.

Homewood Disposal operates three transfer stations, including the Valparaiso location. The East Hazel Crest and Park Forest stations in Illinois also accept waste materials and have their own specific operating hours and minimum charges. Additionally, the East Hazel Crest location has a Material Recovery Facility for sorting and processing recyclables.

Overall, Homewood Disposal - Valparaiso Transfer Station provides a convenient and environmentally responsible solution for waste disposal needs in the Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana area. Customers can contact the institution for current disposal rates and more information on acceptable materials for drop-off.
