Solid Waste Facility
Lauderdale Solid Waste Department
5100 AL-157, Florence, AL 35633
(256) 760-5878Lauderdale Solid Waste Department in Florence is the local solid waste site where residents drop off household trash, yard debris, and recyclables. Neighbors from Florence and nearby rural areas use it for routine cleanups and seasonal hauls.
The entrance has a small booth and a drive-up lane; vehicles typically stop at the booth before proceeding in. A scale is usually on site so expect to pass it and possibly stop again on the way out if bringing bulky loads. Recycling containers and yard waste piles are often grouped to one side, with household trash areas set apart. Weekends and spring cleanup times can get busy, so there may be short lines for the drop-off lanes.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring items sorted by type so unloading goes faster-keep recyclables separate from bagged trash and loose yard waste.
- Have a plan for larger items so the vehicle can be positioned to avoid backing up traffic in the lane.
- If trying to avoid lines, aim for midweek or earlier in the morning during busy seasons when possible.
