Jacksonville Piedmont Landfill
164 Piedmont Jacksonville Rd, Piedmont, AL 36272
(256) 447-2081Small county landfill on the Piedmont–Jacksonville road that locals use for household cleanouts and commercial hauls. It’s the kind of place trucks and pickup loads come through regularly, especially on weekends and during spring cleanup season.
A simple setup with an entrance booth and a scale - the site charges tipping fees by weight, so plan on a weigh-in and a weigh-out. Pull up to the booth, they'll direct you where to dump, and then you’ll drive up onto the scale again as you leave. The site looks like a working landfill: dirt roads, piles of cover material, and large compacted areas where trash is buried.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp and straps for loose loads; drivers often have to secure or cover debris before being allowed to dump.
- Avoid mid-morning weekend rushes if possible - lines form and backing up to the scale can add 20–30 minutes.
- Have any required vehicle paperwork and ID easily accessible so the booth stop goes quickly.
