Scottsboro Landfill currently covers approximately 97 acres with a depth of approximately 65 feet. The facility opened in 1970 and has been in continuous operation since then. The size of a landfill reflects both its operational history and the volume of waste it has processed over its lifetime of service to the surrounding community.

Scottsboro Landfill does not currently have an active landfill gas collection system. Landfill gas is produced naturally as organic waste decomposes underground. Facilities without active collection systems may use passive venting to manage gas migration. Future LFG collection projects may be considered as the volume of waste in place increases.

Scottsboro Landfill participates in the following environmental programs: leachate recirculation is practiced to accelerate waste decomposition; an LFG energy project with status 'Shutdown' is associated with this site. These initiatives help reduce the environmental footprint of landfill operations by capturing resources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and diverting material from direct disposal. Contact the facility or its operator for more details on current environmental compliance status.
