Coffee County Sanitary Landfill on Highway 125 in Elba is where residents and haulers bring trash for final burial. County landfills like this commonly take commercial loads and charge tipping fees by weight. The site is used by pickup drivers, roll-off trucks and occasional dump trailers from around the area.
Drive into the entrance and you’ll see a scale and an attendant booth - loads are weighed so plan on stopping in and then again on the way out. The property is a large, open area with dirt roads and heavy equipment moving around; expect compacted soil areas and working faces where material is buried. Commercial trucks mix with regular vehicles, so watch for tractor-trailers and loaders. Tipping fees are generally based on weight rather than a flat per-load price.
