Magnolia Subtitle D MSW Landfill
Magnolia Subtitle D MSW Landfill, 15140 County Road 49, Summerdale, 36580, Alabama
Magnolia Subtitle D MSW Landfill sits off County Road 49 in Summerdale and is the place local municipal solid waste gets buried. Neighbors haul household cleanouts and larger truckloads here. Subtitle D landfills typically charge tipping fees by weight and often handle commercial haulers, though specific fees and acceptance rules vary.
There’s usually a scale and a small entrance booth where vehicles stop to be weighed. Pull onto the scale, then follow the lane toward the active dumping area - expect gravel, dust, and heavy equipment moving around. The site looks like piled and compacted cells with machinery on top; it isn’t tidy, so plan for dust and uneven ground. Lines form at busy times, especially weekend mornings and during spring cleanups.
Facility Information
Before You Go

- Sort bulky items from bagged household trash before getting out of the vehicle to speed unloading.
- Wear sturdy shoes and gloves, bring eye protection for dusty conditions, and keep a tarp or broom handy to tidy small spills.
