Solid Waste Facility
Black Warrior Solid Waste Auth
3301 Landfill Dr, Coker, AL 35452
(205) 339-7330Black Warrior Solid Waste Auth in Coker is the county solid waste spot for hauling household trash, yard debris, and likely some recycling options. Locals and small haulers swing by here when town trash won’t fit in the curbside can.
The driveway leads to an entrance booth and there’s usually a set of scales nearby so expect to slow down entering and leaving. Pull up to the booth to be directed, then follow the lane to the tipping area and recycling bins if they’re on site. The place is the size of a small landfill operation-open concrete pads, roll-off areas, and piles or containers rather than a tidy retail yard. Weekends and spring yard-cleanup days get busy, so lines can form at the gate.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring your load already sorted as much as possible so unloading goes quicker-loose trash, yard waste, and recyclables separated if possible.
- Tarp or tie down anything that might blow off on the drive in; wind and passing trucks can toss debris around.
- Plan to arrive earlier in the day on Saturdays or during spring cleanup to avoid the longest lines.
