North Montgomery Sanitary Landfill MSWLandfill, 115 Division Street, Montgomery, 36104, Alabama

North Montgomery Sanitary Landfill on Division Street is the municipal landfill folks from Montgomery and nearby areas use to drop household and commercial trash. It’s a working landfill - big open cells, heavy equipment, and steady truck traffic. Like most MSW landfills, there’s a scale and a tipping-fee structure and the site commonly handles commercial loads, though exact fees and accepted materials are set by state and site rules.

There’s usually an entrance booth and a weigh scale near the road; trucks generally stop to be weighed and then drive up to the active dumping area to tip. Pull up in the truck lane and follow the flow of other vehicles - it’s not a tight drive but large trucks move slowly. The place looks like a wide, dirt-and-gravel yard with piles of compacted material and heavy machinery working the face; it gets dusty when dry and sloppy after rain. Expect to stop at the scale again on the way out if fees are assessed by weight, and plan extra time on weekends or during seasonal cleanups when lines form.

Before You Go

  • Secure loose loads with a tarp and ties so debris doesn’t fly out during the drive or unloading - it speeds things up and avoids a mess.
  • If towing a trailer, allow extra time for weighing and lining up to tip; maneuvering a trailer takes longer than it looks.
  • Wear sturdy shoes and gloves, and keep a small broom or mat handy to sweep out loose trash from the truck bed before driving off.
