Recycling in Hanceville: A Local Guide
Hanceville, Alabama sits in Cullman County on US Highway 31, and the town's two listed recycling facilities serve very different needs. Residents looking to sell scrap metal can bring aluminum, copper, brass, and ferrous scrap to Brannon Recycling & Salvage at 8861 US-31 (256-736-2121), open Monday through Friday 8 AM–3:45 PM and Saturday 8 AM–11:45 AM.

The other Hanceville facility, Clean Earth at 14871 AL Highway 91, is an industrial hazardous and non-hazardous waste service center — not a public drop-off.

Residents cannot bring household waste there; contact Clean Earth at 256-352-1160 only for industrial waste inquiries.
For household recyclables — bottles, cans, cardboard, and paper — Hanceville residents should contact Republic Services (the municipal solid waste provider for the area) or explore Cullman County Solid Waste resources. The nearest public recycling drop-off serving Cullman County is operated through county programs; call Cullman County Solid Waste at the county courthouse for current drop-off site locations.
