Where to Dispose of Railroad Ties Nearest to Rockford, Illinois

Railroad ties, also called railroad sleepers, are the planks that are attached to the base of railroad tracks. Ties are often made of wood, but they can be made out of concrete, plastic or metal. With the national rail system getting smaller, many tracks have been abandoned. Unused ties can be disposed of at recycling centers or landfills, depending on their material. You can find disposal centers in many U.S. cities, including in the Rockford, Illinois, area.

  1. Plastic Ties

    • Rock River Recycling (rockriverdisposal.com) offers removal of items that are too big for trash containers.

    Metal Ties

    • Behr Recycling (jbehr.com) is a metal recycling center in Rockford.

    Concrete Ties

    • Winnebago Landfill (winnebagolandfill.com) accepts general waste for $60 a ton, and takes everything but yard waste, hazardous material, appliances and medical waste.

    Wood Ties

    • While wood ties can be recycled or taken to a landfill, they can be used for firewood or donated to local Scout troops or campgrounds.
