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 →Brewton City Landfill is the local dump for Brewton and surrounding areas, where household and larger loads end up buried. People from town and small haulers bring everything from yard debris to construction scraps. The site looks like a typical city landfill off Jay Road-open cells, heavy equipment, and a scale house near the entrance.
Drive up to a small booth and a vehicle scale; most landfills charge tipping fees by weight, so expect to stop on the scale when you come in and again when you leave. Pull into the unloading area after checking in at the booth; commercial trucks are commonly handled separately from household cars and pickups. The ground is mostly gravel and dirt, with dirt roads between active cells and piles of compacted material visible from the road. Recycling or drop-off bins, if present, tend to sit just past the entrance or near the scale house.
