Not all heroes wear capes. 💪
One of our drivers found a stolen purse on route and went the extra mile to track down the owner just down the street. The smile on their face said it all.

Even something as simple as a metal hanger touching the battery terminals can create a spark and can quickly turn into a dangerous fire.

Please never place batteries in your trash or dumpster. Recycle them at a proper battery drop-off location instead.

Homewood Scavenger is how it all started.

Back in 1956, we were located right behind a men’s clothing store. Our first office was tucked behind that shop on Dixie Highway in Homewood, Illinois.

From those small beginnings, we’ve grown into what we are today.

After 28 years of dedicated service, Chad Pence is retiring. Over the years, Chad has become like family — building meaningful relationships with our team members and creating lasting connections with our customers.

We are incredibly grateful for his hard work, loyalty, and the impact he has made throughout the years. We are especially praying that Chad feels surrounded by love, support, peace, and comfort as this next chapter brings him plenty of rest, joy, and quality time with his family.

Congratulations, Chad, on your retirement and thank you for 28 amazing years!

Every day, our Special Hauling Division works alongside contractors who are removing asbestos from homes, schools, and commercial buildings across our communities.

This is important work. Asbestos must be handled with extreme care and transported to the correct approved facilities to ensure it is disposed of safely and in compliance with regulations.
If you are an asbestos abatement company looking for a reliable, safety-focused hauling partner, we’d be happy to connect. We take pride in being a trusted name in responsible waste and material handling.
