Learn moreElwood, Illinois · Will County
Elwood sits on the old Joliet Army Ammunition Plant grounds, and the site's second life -- half Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie, half the CenterPoint Intermodal Center -- makes this one of the most active logistics corridors we run containers into.

The Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie, established by federal law in 1996 and managed by the U.S. Forest Service, covers a huge stretch of the former arsenal land south of the village, while the CenterPoint Intermodal Center on the opposite side has grown into one of the largest inland-port and warehouse logistics hubs in North America -- part of the BNSF Logistics Park Chicago network. Elwood's own village center, meanwhile, has stayed small and historic, with old Route 66 (now Illinois Route 53) still running along its east side.
Warehouse and distribution-center construction debris is the dominant job type here given the scale of the CenterPoint build-out, and we run a steady rotation of containers for subcontractors on those sites. Any time a job on the CenterPoint side involves excavation or grading rather than just placing a container on cleared ground, that's on the contractor's side to clear through JULIE, Illinois' call-before-you-dig system, before the digging starts -- we're happy to work around whatever timing that requires.

Route 53 (old Route 66) runs south from Joliet straight into Elwood, about a 15-minute drive; I-55 and I-80 both border the area and are what most CenterPoint contractors and truckers use.
Services
Every container service we run is available in Elwood at the same flat rate as Joliet itself — about 10 miles south of downtown Joliet makes no difference to the price.

Answers
Yes -- that's a large share of what we run in Elwood, from single containers for a tenant build-out to a rotating swap schedule on bigger warehouse projects.
Only if the job involves digging or grading -- placing a roll-off on already cleared, established ground doesn't require a JULIE locate. If your site prep involves excavation, make sure JULIE has already marked the utilities before that work starts.
Same-day is usually realistic -- it's about a 15-minute run down Route 53 from our Joliet yard, call in the morning for the best shot at it.
Yes, we cover all of Elwood -- residential cleanouts in the old village center alongside the warehouse work on the logistics park side.
