Randolph County Transfer Station

2065 Co Rd 811, Wedowee, AL 36278

(256) 357-4236

Small, county-run transfer station that most Randolph County residents use instead of driving to a distant landfill. People drop off household trash and smaller loads here so trucks can compact and haul it out to a larger site. It’s the kind of place locals swing by when cleaning out a garage or after yard work.

The site sits off a county road with a single entrance and a small booth near the drive-in where vehicles queue. Expect to pull up, talk through the window or show your load, then follow signs to a tipping area and a compactor bay; trucks leave with compacted loads to a bigger landfill. There are usually a few large bins and a scale somewhere on site at stations like this, so plan for slowdowns if someone else is weighing out. Weekends and spring clean-up days get busier, so lines can form at the gate.

Before You Go

  • Bring a tarp or tie down loose debris; wind can blow small stuff off truck beds while waiting in line.
  • Have the load easy to describe and accessible - loose piles, bagged trash, or bulky items should be obvious from the vehicle without unloading everything.
  • Avoid the busiest daylight hours on weekends if possible; a weekday or early morning visit typically moves faster.
