Black Warrior Solid Waste Facility
Black Warrior Solid Waste Facility, 3301 Landfill Drive, Coker, 35452, Alabama
Black Warrior Solid Waste Facility at 3301 Landfill Drive in Coker is the local spot for dropping off household trash, yard debris and often recyclables. Folks from Coker and nearby areas use it for routine cleanups and bigger loads. The place looks like a working landfill - wide open space with a clear entrance and a booth up front.
Expect to stop at an entrance booth and often at a scale, so plan for a brief pause before driving in. Drive toward the large tipping area; recycling bins are usually off to the right just past the entrance. The ground is mostly gravel, which gets dusty when it's dry and muddy after rain. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to be the busiest times and lines can form at the gate.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Pre-sort loads so recyclables and yard debris are separated from general trash - unloading goes faster and keeps things from getting mixed up.
- Avoid weekend mornings if possible; weekday late mornings or early afternoons often have shorter lines.
- Bring gloves and a tarp for loose loads - it gets dusty and some items can be dirty or sharp when handling.
