Have unloaded here quite a few times with haz-waste coming out of California. While its true that the place is not made for modern otr trucks pulling 53 trailers, its not quite that bad either. First time may be a little nerve wrecking, simply because it looks impossible. BUT, listen to instructions when you scale in/check in. They are very friendly and helpful, both in the scale/check-in office, dock office and exit guard shack. When given the go-ahead to pull out of the dock, leave at least one door open, as your trailer will be checked by the exit guard. He will instruct you to circle back around the the building, as youll need to be scaled empty.Getting to/leaving, use Division exit.

°Exit Armitage Ave from I 90/94 ( move your axles all way to front before exit from freeway.)°trun right, try to use two lanes its a tight turn,°2nd sets of light which is Elston Ave, turn right°go through under the bridge, ( used to be 13.6) now its 13.8 ( street sign says 13.6 but its now 13.8, there is sign on the bridge 🌉.)°first driveway on your rightTry to follow your appointment time, they might will not assist you before that,Scale in and outTight back upsNo street parking available, heavy traffic area.

Truck entrance from division Street

When you deliver here with semi try to come from division to elston go north truck entrance is at the end of building just before you get to the 13”6 bridge if you come here in the morning gate opens at 7 no point to come early or you will be parked like me on the street with hazard lights on. They are very slow for unloading my worst complain scale in and scale out a little tight on the back

I work across the street. No complaints, except an explosion today shook our whole building (across the street) and injured 2 people at Sipi. (-20deg F outside). May not want to run machinery that burns down metals during a polar vortex.

Slid your tandems all the way forward before you arrive at Sipi. Very tight streets in area. Small scale too. Enter at driveway at N entrance before rail bridge (13-6) Scale in/check in. Docks are extremely tight on west side of building. Exit south end. 2 stars because the staff were friendly but this place isn’t good for highway trucks.

Historically Industrial part of chicago sits on a PMD planned manufacturing district Dont come and live in the area if you think your going to live in California the smell and odor means jobs dont bully another heavy Industry doing its job because you want to live in a Green space if you want green space move to the suburbs or build on Chicagos far Southside.

A very nice company to work for ! We will melt just about anything!

I am certain this place is slowly poisoning the surrounding population, especially West of the Chicago river. I am amazed how the city granted SiPi a lifetime business permit to melt down recycled heavy metals so close to peoples homes. You can smell the sulfur dioxide every few days.

Awesome place
