Timberlands Landfill
Timberlands Landfill, 22800 Highway 41, Brewton, 36426, Alabama
Timberlands Landfill sits off Highway 41 in Brewton and is where most town trash ends up buried. Locals and haulers use it - it's a working landfill rather than a transfer station or recycling center. As a landfill, expect a facility sized to handle large loads with a tipping-fee structure based on weight.
Drive past a small entrance area and a scale as you come in; trucks and trailers pull up, get routed, and head to the active dumping spot. The site is mostly dirt roads, tall mounds, and heavy equipment moving around-compactors and loaders are common. Loads are generally charged by weight, so plan to stop on the scale again on the way out. Weekends and spring-cleanup times can back up with trailers and pickup trucks, so allow extra time.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down and tarp everything before leaving home - loose stuff blows and makes the whole visit slower.
- Give extra time on weekends or during yard-cleanup season; lines form and the scale can slow things down.
- Have the truck or trailer arranged so it’s easy to unload quickly and then drive back over the scale for the final weigh.
