Opp Landfill on Walding Rd in Opp, Alabama is the local spot for putting loads that get buried. Homeowners with big cleanouts, contractors and commercial haulers all use it, and fees and accepted materials are governed by state and local rules so they can vary.
Expect to cross a scale - landfills typically charge tipping fees by weight, often with a minimum for small residential loads. Commercial trucks are commonly accepted, though they usually face different rates than household drop-offs. The place looks like a working yard with dirt roads, piles of compacted material and heavy equipment moving about. Pull up to the weigh/entry area and follow the traffic flow; lines can back up on weekends and during spring cleanup.
Facility Information
