Large items go through Meridian Waste's bulk service or to one of Lee County's six weekend disposal sites. Dumping furniture, tires, or appliances on a lot or roadside is illegal under Alabama Code §22-27-7.
Oversized items such as furniture, mattresses, and appliances are handled through your Meridian Waste bulk arrangement or hauled to one of the county's six staffed disposal sites, open weekends (generally Saturday and Sunday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with Loachapoka Saturdays only). What the county actively polices is the alternative. Dumping bulk waste in a ditch, on a vacant lot, or along a road violates the Solid Wastes Disposal Act, and Environmental Services runs a litter-control program that clears illegal dumps across roughly 800 miles of county roads. Discarded tires and appliances left on a lot are treated as junk under the county nuisance law.
Dumping bulky waste anywhere but an approved site is a misdemeanor under §22-27-7, fined $50 to $200, with each day a separate offense, plus junk-nuisance abatement under the county ordinance.
