Construction Debris: What You Can (and Can't) Take to the Dump
Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.
Read more →Prattville Landfill is the county landfill just off County Road 4 East that locals use for larger household cleanouts and business loads. Large trucks and trailers are common here, so expect heavier traffic than at neighborhood drop-off sites. The site functions as the final burial point for trash coming out of Prattville and nearby areas.
A weigh scale sits near the entrance and tipping fees are assessed by weight, so vehicles usually stop twice - in and out. Pull up to the small entrance booth to check in, then follow the main drive toward the active cell area; big piles of covered refuse and dirt berms are visible from the access road. Recycling or drop-off containers, if present, tend to be off to one side past the booth, and weekend lines get long during spring cleanups. Commercial trucks are handled here, so expect other heavy equipment and loaders moving around the tipping face.
