Municipal programs
Do cities in Alabama offer free bulk pickup?
Every city in Alabama handles bulk pickup differently. Some offer free monthly programs with strict limits, others have no program at all. Here's how each city's municipal program compares — and where Dropcurb fills the gaps.

| Decatur | Yes | Decatur Solid Waste Department runs once-weekly automated cart collection on a single combined stream — the city no longer separates green waste from household garbage at collection points, so yard waste, leaves, and trash all go in either the gray or the green 95-gallon cart (cart labels are now obsolete). A separate loader truck assigned to each neighborhood picks up oversized yard debris and bulky items in the same location as the cart, but loader pickup is capped: limbs must be cut to less than 12 ft long and less than 12 inches in diameter; only 1–3 fence panels are accepted (excessive fencing from contractor or homeowner repair will not be collected); shingles only from minor repairs; brick or rock only in small wheelbarrow-full piles. Lumber, dirt, concrete, and rocks are banned from the cart. Contractor debris is excluded from city service per Decatur Solid Waste Ordinance Section 19-9. Carts must be at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on collection day. Residential rate is $22.22/month (2026) plus $5/month alley fee on dwellings serviced via unpaved alleys per Ordinance 18-4329. Fall leaf vacuum collection runs a continuous Mon–Fri clockwise route from late October or early November through January at (256) 341-4743 — leaves only, no limbs or other debris on leaf piles. The city formally acknowledges loader-truck delays after storm events and at other times when large quantities of debris are generated.

FAQ
Common questions about junk removal in Alabama
How much does junk removal cost in Alabama?
Dropcurb starts at $79 across all 20 cities in Alabama. Every item has an all-in first-item price and an add-on price. A couch is $79, a queen mattress is $99, a dresser is $79, a TV is $99, a refrigerator is $134, a treadmill is $109. Additional items each add their own add-on price. The price you see is the price you pay — nothing added at checkout.
Does Alabama offer free bulk pickup?
It depends on the city. 16 of the 20 cities we serve in Alabama offer some form of bulk pickup, but programs vary widely in frequency, item limits, and scheduling requirements. Daphne, Fairhope, Gulf Shores, Opelika have no municipal bulk pickup program. See the comparison table above for details. Dropcurb offers same-day pickup across all 20 cities starting at $79.
How fast can I get junk removed in Alabama?
Same day. Book before noon in any of our 20 Alabama cities and your items are picked up by 8 PM. No appointment windows. Place items at the curb and go about your day. We text you confirmation when the hauler completes the pickup.
What items does Dropcurb pick up in Alabama?
Dropcurb picks up furniture (couches, dressers, desks, tables, bed frames), mattresses and box springs, appliances (refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers), electronics (TVs, monitors, computers), exercise equipment (treadmills, ellipticals, exercise bikes), outdoor items (grills, patio furniture, trampolines), and bagged junk. We do not pick up hazardous materials, propane tanks, tires, or items over 400 lbs like hot tubs and pianos.
Do I have to be home for a Dropcurb pickup in Alabama?
No. Dropcurb is curbside-only across all 20 cities in Alabama. Place items at the curb (or your driveway apron) by 8 AM the day of pickup. The hauler texts you a confirmation photo when the pickup is complete — no signature, no walk-through, and no one enters your home or garage. This is the core difference between Dropcurb and a traditional in-home haul: you book online, leave it out, and go about your day.
