Lauderdale Co. Landfill

5736 Cloverdale Rd, Florence, AL 35633

(256) 760-5878

Lauderdale Co. Landfill is the county landfill out on Cloverdale Road that locals and businesses use to bury municipal trash. Neighbors with truckloads, contractors, and small haulers all end up here when they need the trash taken off the property. It's the final stop where material gets buried rather than recycled or dropped at a convenience center.

Drive past an entrance booth and you'll cross a scale - tipping fees are charged by weight, so expect to stop on both the in and out scales. The site is large, with visible working faces and compacted berms; commercial trucks share the same lanes as pickup trucks. Drop-off points and the working landfill cells are obvious from the haul road; staff will direct traffic if it's busy. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, can back up, so plan for a short wait if arriving then.

Before You Go

  • Cover loads with a tarp and secure debris before leaving home; loose material can be questioned at the booth and makes for a mess in transit.
  • Have an idea of how much the load weighs (empty vs loaded) so tipping fees by weight don’t come as a surprise when you hit the scale.
  • Bring a decent pickup truck or trailer with proper tires and clearance; the access roads and ramps can be rough and dusty, especially after rain.
