Construction Debris: What You Can (and Can't) Take to the Dump
Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.
Read more →Ashberry Landfill LLC is the local landfill just outside Opp that people from town and small contractors use when trash needs to be buried long-term. It looks like a typical rural landfill - big dirt cells, heavy equipment moving around, and trucks coming and going. Expect this to be the final stop for materials that can't be dropped at a county convenience center.
A drive-up scale and an entrance booth are visible from the road; drivers usually pull up to the booth first and then onto the scale. Loads are charged by weight at most landfills, so vehicles often stop twice - once in and again on the way out. The site is mostly open ground with dirt ramps up to the working face; large commercial trucks share the space with pickup trucks and trailers. Lines form easily on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, and there’s a steady sound of loaders and compactors in the background.
