A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

Filled bags and boxes

Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.

Empty cardboard and containers

Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.

Furniture and other larger items

Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Monthly junk and rubbish pickup

Accepted with preparation

Furniture, mattresses and white goods leave on the monthly junk and rubbish day, which is the first Monday of the month unless that Monday is a holiday, and the pile has to be reserved in advance.

City cost & eligibility
The city does not publish the amount for a junk and rubbish pickup and describes the signup as a calendar and payment site, while the ordinance sets a city fee for yard trash over ten cubic yards that is billed to the property owner, so call Public Works on 205-664-6810 or City Hall on 205-664-6800 and confirm the current terms before the pickup day.
When & how
Reserve a slot on the city's SignupGenius page, which opens two weeks before the pickup day and closes when the 100 slots fill, then put the items at the curb no more than 24 hours before the scheduled pickup. If the first Monday is a holiday the pickup moves to the second Monday and the signup opens a week later.
Get it ready
Keep the pile inside 10 cubic yards, keep each item at or under 300 pounds, keep every item shorter than ten feet, report an unusual item to Public Works before it goes out, and keep refrigerant, oil or gas appliances including gas powered lawnmowers out of the pile, along with dirt, rocks, stumps, tires, paint, propane tanks, batteries, medical waste and hazardous materials, because one of those items refuses the whole pile.

Household garbage service

Accepted with preparation

The city provides household garbage service to city residents, and the page excludes natural yard debris and junk from the garbage container.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no collection rate on its garbage page, so call Public Works on 205-664-6810 and confirm the current charge and the service day for the address.
When & how
Household garbage is collected on the city route for the address, and the holiday schedule changes for Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and the day after, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day and Labor Day, with the revised schedule posted as each holiday approaches.
Get it ready
Keep household trash in the provided container, keep natural yard debris and junk out of it because the city will not knowingly dispose of those items even when they are inside a container, and report a service question through Report a Concern or on 205-664-6810.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

A junk pile is a reservation, not a standing route

Sign up on the city's SignupGenius page for one of the 100 monthly slots, which open two weeks before the pickup day and close when they fill. The pile is limited to 10 cubic yards, every item is limited to 300 pounds, nothing longer than ten feet is collected, and the items may go to the curb no more than 24 hours before the pickup. An unusual item has to be reported to Public Works or City Hall before it is set out, and a resident without computer access can sign up at City Hall.

One refused item refuses the whole pile

No appliance containing refrigerant, oil or gas is picked up, and that includes lawnmowers and similar gas powered devices. Dirt, rocks, stumps, tires, paint, propane tanks, batteries, medical waste and hazardous materials are all refused as well, and the ordinance states that if any of those items are present the entire pile is not picked up. Commercially created trash and construction refuse, and homeowner construction refuse from major lot cleaning, home construction, major renovation, repair or demolition, are outside the service, and a licensed commercial hauler may be used for that work instead.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

An Alabaster household that hauls its own load uses the Shelby County Highway 70 Landfill at 401 Landfill Road, just off Highway 70 between Columbiana and Calera, which the county describes as accepting trash, garbage and debris Monday through Saturday for commercial haulers and the general public. The rate is charged by vehicle for a car, van or SUV and by the ton for larger loads, with a lower per ton rate for county residents, and the county sets two free days a year for county residents, which in 2026 fall on Saturday, March 28 and Saturday, October 3 from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Anyone entering the municipal solid waste or construction and demolition working cell has to wear a hard hat and a safety vest since May 1, 2026, with an exception for residential customers using the convenience area only, and children stay in the vehicle. The landfill refuses hazardous waste, tires, batteries and liquids of any type and closes on Sundays and on New Year's Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Alabaster.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Alabaster?

A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.

How does the Alabaster junk pickup work?

The junk and rubbish pickup runs on the first Monday of each month, or the second Monday when the first falls on a holiday, and a household has to reserve one of the 100 monthly slots on the city's SignupGenius page, which opens two weeks in advance. Old furniture, mattresses and similar items are covered, each item is limited to 300 pounds, the pile is limited to 10 cubic yards and nothing longer than ten feet goes out, and the items may reach the curb no more than 24 hours before the pickup. An unusual item has to be reported to Public Works or City Hall first.Official guidance

What belongs in an Alabaster garbage container?

Residential household trash, and not the natural yard debris or the junk that the city collects separately. The city states that it will not knowingly dispose of yard debris or junk even when those items are inside a provided container. Yard debris is collected weekly as biodegradable wood waste, junk and rubbish goes out on the monthly reserved pickup day, and garbage collection runs on the normal route day with a revised schedule around listed holidays including Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Day, Juneteenth and Independence Day.Official guidance

Who collects trash in Alabaster?

The City of Alabaster Public Works Department collects household garbage from city residents, yard debris weekly, and junk and rubbish on the monthly reserved pickup day, and it answers on 205-664-6810 with City Hall on 205-664-6800. The department notes that natural yard debris and junk are excluded from the garbage container even when they are inside one. The Shelby County Highway 70 Landfill serves county residents for self hauled loads and the state runs the scrap tire program for tires.Official guidance

What does Alabaster charge for collection and drop off?

The city publishes no amount for garbage service or for the monthly junk and rubbish pickup, and the signup runs through a calendar and payment site, so those charges are confirmed with Public Works on 205-664-6810 or City Hall on 205-664-6800. A yard trash load over ten cubic yards is billed to the property owner in an amount set by the city. A self hauled load at the Shelby County Highway 70 Landfill is charged by vehicle for a car, van or SUV and by the ton above that, with lower rates for county residents and two free days a year.Official guidance

What will not be collected in Alabaster?

No appliance containing refrigerant, oil or gas is picked up, including lawnmowers and similar gas powered devices, and dirt, rocks, stumps, tires, paint, propane tanks, batteries, medical waste and hazardous materials are all refused, with the ordinance stating that a pile containing any of them is not collected at all. Commercially created trash and construction refuse, and homeowner construction refuse from major lot cleaning, construction, renovation, repair or demolition, are excluded too and belong with a licensed commercial hauler. The county landfill also refuses hazardous waste, tires, batteries and liquids of any type.Official guidance
