North Alabama Transfer Sta

North Alabama Transfer Sta in Florence handles household and small commercial loads that get compacted and sent on to a landfill elsewhere. Locals drop off things they don’t want hauling all the way to a distant dump. It’s the kind of place neighbors use when a pickup load or a shed-full needs a quick unload.

There’s a small entrance booth and a scale area where trucks stop before and after dumping, so expect to pause twice if the scale is in use. Pull up to the booth lane and follow the signs or staff directions toward the tipping floor and compactors; the site feels industrial with concrete bays and large roll-off containers. Recycling bins usually sit to one side, and weekend traffic gets heavier, especially during yard-cleanup season. Vehicles tip into a pit or bay, then compacted loads are loaded onto larger trucks for transport out of county.
