Find Us in the Historic Stockyards Section of Chicago
The Stockyards section of Chicago has a rich history as a hub for the meatpacking industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. At its peak, the Stockyards were the largest livestock market in the world, processing millions of animals each year. The area was home to numerous meatpacking plants, slaughterhouses, and related businesses, making it a vital part of Chicago's economy.
Today, the Stockyards area has been revitalized and is home to a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial properties. The historic Stockyards district is a popular destination for tourists and history buffs, with many of the original buildings still standing as a reminder of the area's past.

Drivers enter the yard, and their vehicles gross weight is recorded, setting the baseline for what they are depositing with the yard for CCDD wasted or what they are picking up for a new and amazing project.
The truck is fill with his desired goods, be it rough aggregate, course or fine screenings, pea gravel, topsoil, asphalt, or mulch. In this case, a load is being transferred to another yard for pulverizing.
Fun Fact:
Roughly, about 1.2 million tons of construction waste and demolition debris is generated in Chicago in a single year. Stockyards and its affiliate yards handle a great deal of this tonnage.
On the way out of the yard, the truck again passes the gatehouse and is weighed for a second time. The difference is recorded and the details for an invoice is generated.
Fun Fact:
You don't have to have your materials dumped in your yard, ruining your grass or making an unsightly mess. Your order of aggregate can be placed in a 20-yard or 30-yard dumpster and delivered to a driveway or jobsite where it can be used as required.
Final Fun Fact:
And as mentioned elsewhere on this site, Stockyards is your convenient in-town location for depositing clean construction and demolition waste for sorting, pulverizing and processing.
