Appliances and white goods

Accepted with preparation

The bulky material list names all types of appliances, and the loader truck picks them up with the rest of the household bulky material at no separate published charge on the residential garbage account.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the city residential garbage account for the address, billed monthly by the utility; no separate appliance fee is published for the loader truck service.
When & how
Put the appliance out where the carts are serviced and let the loader truck collect it, remembering that the service is unscheduled and can take about two weeks. The landfill in Trinity also accepts self-hauled household material by weight if a household would rather make the trip.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, take off or secure the doors, and keep the cord with the appliance. Refrigerant and oils stay sealed and out of the cart stream, because the city refuses paints, solvents, flammable liquids, oils and ashes in carts and the landfill refuses liquid and hazardous waste outright.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Put bulky material where the carts are serviced, and keep it neat

Place large items neatly away from fences, mailboxes, buildings and utility poles, and behind the curb when the address has no alley pickup, without blocking an alleyway. Limbs should be cut under twelve feet long and under twelve inches in diameter, and the loader truck route does not serve both the street and the alley at one address.

Solid Waste page: residential carts, the loader truck service for bulky items and yard debris, the homeowner debris lists, contractor exclusions and the 2026 rate table

Carts are out by 6:00 A.M. with the lids closed

Have the carts out by 6:00 A.M. on the collection day with the directional arrows pointing to the street or alley, behind the curb or on the shoulder rather than in the gutter or the street, and roll them back to a safe place near the house by 7:00 P.M. Bag household garbage, keep lids closed with nothing protruding, and keep carts away from buildings, fences, mailboxes and utility poles.

Solid Waste page: residential carts, the loader truck service for bulky items and yard debris, the homeowner debris lists, contractor exclusions and the 2026 rate table

Liquids, ashes and building material stay out of the carts

Never place paints, solvents, flammable or other liquids, ashes, dead animals, oils or medical waste in a cart, and never fill a cart with building materials such as lumber, dirt, concrete or rocks. Those streams have their own route: the monthly household chemical collection takes paint, oil, cleaners, fuels, pool chemicals, pesticides and batteries, and the landfill refuses liquid and hazardous waste outright.

A holiday moves collection back a day, and Friday pickups move to Monday

When a holiday falls on a scheduled garbage day, the collection is generally rescheduled for the following day, except for Friday pickups which move to the following Monday. The 2026 calendar marks Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Memorial Day and Labor Day with no changes and lists the shifted routes for New Year's Day, Juneteenth, the observed July 4th holiday, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Cover the load and bring a card, not a check, to the landfill

Every vehicle entering the Morgan County Regional Landfill has to be properly covered and secured, tailgates closed and tarp used as needed. Payment at the gate is cash, Visa, Discover or MasterCard, and checks are no longer accepted, with a minimum charge on small loads and a separate rate for tires and for approved asbestos.

Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

A household with furniture, appliances, limbs and brush, or small homeowner repair debris that will not fit in the carts.

Cost & conditions
No charge. Included with the city residential garbage account for the address, which is billed monthly by the utility; contractor-generated material is not collected and no separate published fee applies to the accepted items.
Arrange it
Set the material neatly where the carts are serviced, behind the curb when there is no alley pickup, and let the unscheduled loader route reach the address, which can take about two weeks.

The accepted list is described as not inclusive, contractor debris is refused by ordinance, and a loader truck does not serve both the street and the alley at one location. Keep liquids, oils, paints, ashes, medical waste and dead animals out of every pile.

Monthly household chemical collection

A household with used motor oil, paint, cleaners, gasoline, kerosene, pool chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, aerosol cans or batteries that cannot go in a cart.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

A Decatur household that hauls its own load drives to the Morgan County Regional Landfill at 500 Landfill Drive in Trinity, open Monday to Friday from 6:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. and Saturday from 7:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M., with hand-unloaders required through the gate 30 minutes before closing. The gate charges by the ton for garbage, trash, wood materials, construction and demolition, industrial waste and animals, with a minimum based on the first 740 pounds and separate rates for heavy equipment tires, passenger car and truck tires, and state-approved asbestos, and payment is by cash, Visa, Discover or MasterCard because checks are no longer accepted. Loads must be covered and secured, and the landfill refuses liquid waste and hazardous or toxic waste such as oil, paint, insecticides and batteries. The same site runs a recycling facility where loads under 500 pounds are free and larger loads are charged by the ton, and a mulch yard that gives compost away free to residents who load it themselves, while the city's monthly household chemical collection on the second Saturday at 1802 Central Parkway takes the paint, oil, cleaners, fuels and batteries the landfill will not bury.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Decatur.

How much does appliance removal cost in Decatur?

A full-size household refrigerator is $109 as a single item. A washing machine is $109, and a dryer is $109. Other appliances have their own catalog prices. Choose each item to see your exact total before booking; disposal and recycling costs are included in the item price.

Can I get same-day appliance pickup in Decatur?

Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Your pickup is scheduled for a day rather than an exact arrival appointment, and we text you before arrival. Have the appliance disconnected and ready outside by your pickup readiness time.

Can you take a washing machine and dryer in one pickup?

Yes. Add one Washing machine and one Dryer so both units are included in the price. They are separate items, even when you bought them as a set. If yours is a single combined unit or the machines still need to be unstacked, contact us before booking to confirm the scope.

Will you disconnect my appliance or carry it out?

Dropcurb picks up appliances that are already disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange uninstallation, utility disconnection and indoor carrying before pickup. Use a qualified professional for gas, hardwired or plumbing connections when needed. We handle loading and haul-away from the outdoor pickup spot.

Can I book if the delivery company did not take my old appliance?

Yes. Dropcurb pickup is separate from buying or installing a replacement, so you can book removal on its own. Select the old appliance, choose a pickup day and arrange for it to be disconnected and accessible outside. If your new delivery is still ahead, confirm the retailer’s haul-away arrangements before booking a separate pickup.

How does an appliance leave a Decatur address?

With the loader truck, which handles all types of appliances as part of the bulky material service on the residential garbage account. Set the appliance where the carts are serviced, clear of poles and fences, and plan around an unscheduled pickup that can take about two weeks.Official guidance

Who collects trash in Decatur?

The City of Decatur Solid Waste Department, part of Environmental Services, collects household garbage once a week in City-issued carts, up to two 95-gallon carts for an address, and runs the loader truck that takes bulky material, limbs and yard debris. The account is billed monthly on the Decatur Utilities bill, extra carts carry an extra monthly charge, and questions go to (256) 341-4740.Official guidance

Why is my bulky pile still at the curb?

Because the loader truck is a separate, unscheduled route rather than an appointment: it can reach an address on any weekday and may take about two weeks, and it does not run at the same time as the garbage carts. A pile left somewhere other than where the carts are serviced, or a load the city refuses, such as contractor debris, will keep waiting until the department is called.Official guidance

Where can a Decatur household take paint, oil and batteries?

To the household chemical collection held on the second Saturday of every month from 9:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. at 1802 Central Parkway. It takes used motor oil, paint, household cleaners, gasoline, kerosene, filled aerosol cans, pool chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and household and vehicle batteries, with a limit of ten one-gallon buckets of paint and 100 pounds of chemicals per household each month.Official guidance

Will the city take debris left by my contractor?

No. Decatur refuses contractor debris by ordinance, and every contractor is required to haul away the material generated at a work site rather than leaving it for the city. The loader truck takes only small amounts of debris the homeowner generated, such as a few fencing panels, cabinets, carpet, a toilet or a minor shingle pile.Official guidance
