Waste Facility

Elmore County / City of Wetumpka Collection Facility

110 Red Eagle Dr, Wetumpka, AL 36092

Small county collection site used by Wetumpka residents for everyday household drop-offs. Located off Red Eagle Drive, it’s the kind of place locals swing by with yard debris, old furniture, or a trailer load after a cleanout. People from nearby neighborhoods and rural parts of Elmore County typically use it for routine disposal needs.

A single-lane entrance with an attendant booth is common at these county-run centers, so expect to slow down and follow directions from the booth for where to pull up. There are usually rows of large containers and open pits for different types of materials, and the site feels more industrial than a retail parking lot. Vehicles often need to back up or angle into specific bays, so handy to have someone guide the driver if hauling a trailer. Weekends and seasonal cleanups can create lines, so traffic congestion is the main thing to watch for.

Before You Go

  • Secure loads well before coming-loose branches and trash can blow out while driving or while maneuvering on site.
  • Wear sturdy shoes and have a helper for heavy or bulky items; many drops require lifting over container rims or onto a truck bed.
  • Bring a clear plan for how items will be unloaded (which side of the truck/trailer faces the container) to speed things along and avoid holding up a line.
