Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.

Shelby County Landfill Office is the county landfill for Columbiana, the place trucks and residents take trash to be buried. Locals and haulers use it for final disposal rather than drop-off recycling or transfer runs. The site is the typical county-sized landfill setup with an office/scale and working cells nearby.
Drive up to a small office building with a weigh scale nearby-vehicles usually stop at the booth then pull onto the scale; tipping fees are charged by weight at county landfills. The working face and compacted trash mounds are visible from the entrance, and larger commercial trucks pull through separately from small pickups. Expect dirt roads, gravel pads and a working industrial look rather than a tidy transfer station; there’s usually traffic slowdowns during weekend cleanups or spring yard-cleaning season.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have ID or proof of residency handy if needed for county facilities; paperwork is often checked at the office/scale.
- Secure loose loads with a tarp before leaving home-spills on the approach roads are time-consuming and sometimes penalized.
- Try to arrive midweek or early in the morning to avoid weekend backups; large commercial loads often have separate routing that can add to wait times.
