Phenix City Landfill

Phenix City Landfill is the large municipal landfill out on Landfill Road that handles the final disposal of household and commercial trash for the area. Local contractors and residents with big loads use it when curbside pickup won’t cut it. It’s the place where stuff gets buried rather than recycled or composted.

A weigh scale and a small entrance booth mark the drive in, and vehicles will need to stop to be weighed since tipping fees are set by weight. The site itself is expansive - big dirt cells, compacted trash piles and heavy equipment working the slopes - so plan for rough, dusty surfaces and slow-moving vehicles. Commercial loads are accepted there, and expect to be routed to a specific unloading area after the scale. Weekends and spring cleanup times can see lines, so there may be a short wait before getting to the drop-off point.
