Shelby County Highway 70 Landfill

Shelby County Highway 70 Landfill is the county landfill on Highway 70 in Columbiana, used by residents and commercial haulers. Trucks of all sizes come through - from pickup loads to larger contractor rigs. The site is large and open, with visible working equipment and long rows of covered cells where trash is pushed and buried.

Pull up to the entrance area and be ready for a scale - tipping fees at landfills like this are generally charged by weight, so plan on being weighed in and out. After the scale, follow the flow of traffic to the active dumping area or to any metal/recycling drop-offs that sit nearby; heavy equipment and haul trucks are moving, so stay alert. The surface can be rough and dusty, and there’s often a short line during busier times. Expect basic onsite infrastructure: an entrance booth/scale, access roads, and large compacted piles being worked on.
