Dothan Landfill

Dothan Landfill on Burkett Road is the city landfill where residential and commercial rubbish gets buried. Locals and contractors bring everything from household cleanup bags to larger commercial loads. It’s the final stop for trash disposal in the Dothan area.

Drive up and you’ll cross a scale at the entrance-this place charges by weight, so expect to stop there on the way in and again on the way out. There’s a small intake booth near the road and a wide drive that leads to the tipping face and working cells; the site looks like piles of compacted trash and heavy equipment moving dirt and cover material. Commercial trucks are commonly seen and large loads are handled, so lanes and tipping spots are set up for big rigs as well as pickups. Weekends and seasonal cleanup days often get busy, so lines and slow traffic can form at the gate and scale.
