Cullman County Landfill is the county dump off AL-69 that folks and small haulers use when curbside pickup won’t cut it. It’s a working landfill where trash gets buried, and both residents and commercial loads turn up to tip their loads here.
A scale booth sits near the entrance and everything is weighed, so expect to stop there and again on the way out. Vehicles are directed to dumping cells and working faces; the site looks like a lot of heavy equipment, compacted dirt and staged piles rather than tidy bins. There’s room for larger trucks and commercial loads, so don’t be surprised to see roll-offs and dump trucks alongside pickups. Traffic can back up on weekends or during seasonal cleanups, so lines are the most common hold-up.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loose loads before you leave home - windblown trash will get flagged and makes the site messier.
- Sort what’s in the truck bed so unloading is quicker: separate bulky items from bagged trash and anything recyclable.
- Bring straps and gloves; walking around the dumping area is often needed to guide where to put stuff or move items safely.
