Willow Ridge Landfill

Willow Ridge Landfill sits off AL-13 just outside Haleyville and is where neighborhood trash and larger loads end up for burial. Folks from around town - homeowners with pickup trucks and commercial haulers - use it for final disposal rather than a transfer stop. The place looks like a working landfill, not a recycling yard.

Expect a small scale and a booth at the entrance; most people pull onto the scale first and then drive up to the active dumping face. The site is a series of dirt roads, berms and compacted cells with piles of cover dirt and trash visible from the access lanes. Trucks and pickups back up to the drop area to unload, then usually return to the scale for the outbound weight ticket. Tipping fees are handled by weight with the usual minimums and per-ton style structure common at landfills, and commercial loads are commonly accepted at facilities like this.
