We have had several calls the past few weeks from citizens wanting to take household trash to the County Landfill. The Lamar County Landfill is a C&D Landfill only.

A C&D landfill stands for a Construction and Demolition debris landfill. These specialized waste disposal facilities are designed specifically to accept the debris generated from the construction, renovation, repair, or demolition of buildings, roads, and bridges, NOT for everyday household garbage.

What may go into a C&D landfill?

These landfills exclusively accept materials that are typically non-hazardous and inert. Common materials include:

• Concrete, asphalt, bricks, and masonry
• Lumber and wood products
• Drywall and plaster
• Glass and wiring
• Roofing shingles and plumbing fixtures
• Tree stumps, earth, and rock from land-clearing sites

What is excluded?

C&D landfills are strictly prohibited from accepting household trash, hazardous waste, asbestos, lead-painted materials, and liquid waste. These items must be disposed of in strictly regulated hazardous or standard municipal landfills.

**To dispose of electronics & appliances, please call Plyco Recycling, Inc. in Fayette, AL at 205-932-5182 for more information.

We have had several calls this week regarding a post seen on the City of Sulligent's page stating that the landfill is closed until futher notice.

The Lamar County Landfill is not closed. It is open during normal business hours of Tuesday-Friday 7:30 am-3:45 pm and Saturday 7:30 am-12 noon.

We are sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

All Lamar County roads and bridges should now be considered PASSABLE. Please be advised that extreme caution should still be used while traveling these COUNTY roads and bridges because of the possibility of isolated patches of ice throughout the county. In short, please drive carefully and keep your attention on the roadway at all times. From everyone at Lamar County, stay safe and stay warm!

With high amounts of moisture on the roads and rapidly dropping temperatures that will reach well below freezing, we expect dangerous travel conditions on all of the County roads and bridges in Lamar County with widespread patches of black ice present. For this reason, we are deeming all of the COUNTY roads and bridges in Lamar County as impassable until further notice. Driving in these conditions puts not only the driver at risk, but also passengers, other motorists, and emergency responders. Unless it is an extreme emergency, the safest choice is to stay home and avoid travel.We will be closely monitoring conditions and giving updates as necessary.

While the worst threat of significant weather that would affect road conditions has shifted north, we still urge motorists to proceed with extreme caution during any travel this weekend and early next week. Please be aware that Lamar County is currently just outside the forecasted boundary for severe icy conditions this weekend, but there could possibly be isolated spots of ice throughout the county, especially on bridges. Currently, the forecast shows a better chance of widespread ice for Monday morning which could result in dangerous travel conditions. We will be closely monitoring road conditions and providing updates as necessary. If you do happen to discover icy conditions, please message us. From the Lamar County Engineer’s office, stay safe, stay warm, and have a great weekend!
