Fines Industrial Landfill

13737 Plant Rd, Alpine, AL 35014

(256) 378-6878

Fines Industrial Landfill is the large county landfill out on Plant Road that both residents and haulers use when trash can't go to a convenience center. It's the kind of place where tractor-trailers mix with pickup trucks and the landscape is mostly long, covered cells and dirt roads. People come here when they need the final dump - not a drop-off for recyclables or small curbside pickups.

Drive up a graded entrance road and you'll likely see an entrance booth and a weigh scale nearby - landfills charge by weight, so plan on stopping more than once. Trucks pull forward to a tipping pad or working face; expect heavy equipment, dusty conditions, and stacked soil or compacted mounds in the active areas. There can be a fair bit of waiting during busy times like spring cleanup, and the traffic pattern usually has separate lanes for inbound and outbound because of the scale. Keep clear sightlines and watch for big trucks swinging through the site.

Before You Go

  • Secure loose loads and cover anything that might blow - tarps and tie-downs save time and prevent litter along the access road.
  • Try to come on a weekday morning if possible; weekends and seasonal cleanup periods tend to have the longest lines.
  • Make sure the truck bed or trailer can tip easily and that any non-bagged material is safely contained to avoid spills when dumping.
