City of Huntsville Transfer Station/Landfill on Leeman Ferry Rd SW handles local drop-offs where trash is compacted and loaded for longer hauls. Neighbors, landscapers and anyone with a truck or trailer use it when a trip to a distant landfill isn’t convenient. It’s the kind of place that’s practical rather than pretty - expect industrial scale and noise.

Drive in off Leeman Ferry Rd SW and follow the lane for drop-offs; many transfer stations have a scale and entrance booth so be prepared to stop. Vehicles pull up to a tipping area or roll-off bays to empty loads, and large trucks and compacting equipment are visible and active. The site is typically dusty and a bit loud, especially when big trailers are being loaded. Lines and wait times grow on weekends and during spring cleanup, so extra time may be needed.

Before You Go

  • Secure and tarp loose loads before leaving home - loose debris can blow out on the drive and will slow unloading.
  • Bring gloves and tools (rake, shovel) so a quick tidy of the bed or trailer is possible; dumpsters and transfer floors can be messy.
  • Try a weekday or mid-afternoon visit if possible; landscapers and homeowners often peak on weekend mornings and during seasonal cleanups.
