Timberlands Landfill sits off AL-41 just north of Brewton and is the local spot where household and commercial garbage ends up. Drivers from town and the surrounding county bring everything here when a county convenience center won’t do. Alabama’s waste program is overseen by ADEM, and in rural areas like this many people rely on the landfill for larger loads.
There’s a drive-up entry with a scale and a small booth where vehicles stop to be weighed, so plan for a short pause coming in and again on the way out. The site is large and mostly open with dirt roads and mounded cells; larger trucks and roll-offs are common sights. Commercial loads are accepted, and fees are typically charged by weight with a minimum charge for small residential drops. Weekends and spring cleanups can get backed up, so lines and wait times are normal during busy stretches.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down loose materials and cover loads if hauling during windy weather to avoid littering and potential delays.
- Have truck or trailer tarps and straps ready; loose items may be turned away or cause longer unloading times.
- Bring paperwork or account info for commercial hauls if applicable, and be prepared to pull onto the scale twice-once in, once out.
