(256) 891-2944Republic Services Marshall County Transfer Station in Albertville is the spot where local trash gets compacted and shipped off to a larger landfill. Locals and small haulers use it when the county landfill is too far or when dropping off a residential load makes more sense than a long drive.
Drive up Rives Road to the fenced compound and look for the manned entrance booth and a scale - vehicles usually stop twice, in and out, since charges are typically by weight. There’s a paved drive leading to open tipping bays and large roll-off areas where trucks unload into compactors; the place feels industrial rather than tidy. Lines can build up on weekends or during neighborhood clean-up season, so expect a bit of waiting if traffic’s heavy. The layout is straightforward: check in at the booth, follow attendants’ directions for where to dump, then pull back onto the scale on the way out.
