Republic Services South Shelby Landfill

Republic Services South Shelby Landfill is the big municipal landfill out on Malone Road that locals and haulers use when trash heads to its final resting place. It’s the kind of site where contractors, commercial trucks and people with pickup loads all show up for one-stop disposal.

The site is large - you’ll see high, worked-over dirt mounds and heavy equipment moving around the active tipping area. Drive up to the entrance booth and be ready to pull onto a scale; this type of facility charges by weight so there’s usually a weigh-in and weigh-out. After the booth, follow signs or staff direction to the dumping area or commercial tipping face and watch for gravel pads and muddy spots after rain. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to get backed up with a line of trucks and pickups waiting for their turn.
