Match your item

Construction cleanup starts with the right items.

We currently accept the doors, toilets and bathroom vanities listed here, already detached and ready outside. Choose each item separately. Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted, including in bags.

Doors

Count each detached door panel separately. Have it removed from its hinges before pickup. A whole installed doorway or garage door is not the same item.

Toilets

Choose Toilet for an ordinary household toilet that has already been disconnected, drained and moved outside. Text a photo before booking if yours is broken or has loose sharp pieces.

Bathroom vanities

Choose the small, standard or large bathroom vanity that matches your sink cabinet. A makeup table has a separate choice. Plumbing disconnection and removal from the wall happen before pickup.

Construction and renovation debris

Special rules apply

Homeowner repair debris is accepted in small amounts, and anything a contractor generates is refused by ordinance. The loader truck takes small cabinets, a toilet, carpet, one to three fencing panels, small shingle piles from minor repairs and wheelbarrow-sized piles of brick or rock, while the landfill takes construction and demolition loads by weight.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Loader truck collection is included with the city residential garbage account for debris the homeowner generated; contractor debris is not collected at all, and a self-hauled load at the Morgan County Regional Landfill is charged by weight with a minimum.
When & how
Put homeowner-generated material out for the loader truck, which is unscheduled and can take about two weeks, or haul it to the landfill in Trinity during gate hours. A renovation in progress should be planned around a private container, because the city will not return for contractor debris.
Get it ready
Keep the pile small and clearly from the homeowner's own work, because excessive fencing, contractor shingles and full renovation loads are refused, and never fill a cart with lumber, dirt, concrete or rocks. At the landfill the load must be covered and secured with a tailgate or tarp, and checks are no longer accepted at the gate.

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.

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.

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.

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

How much does construction debris removal cost in Decatur?

Pricing is per accepted item. A detached door is $99 as a single item, an ordinary toilet is $79, and a small bathroom vanity is $99. Larger vanities have their own choices. Select the listed items to see the exact combined price. These prices do not cover mixed rubble or loose building materials. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; applicable sales tax appears before payment.

Can I get same-day toilet or vanity pickup in Decatur?

Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Arrange disconnection, removal and the move outside first, then have the fixture ready by the time in your confirmation. We text you before arrival and provide pickup photos when it is done.

Will you disconnect a sink or take a door off its hinges?

The fixture must already be detached, disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange plumbing, electrical work, removal from walls or hinges, and indoor carrying before pickup. Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from your outdoor pickup spot.

Can I add bags of drywall, tile or other demolition waste?

Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted. This page offers pickup for the listed doors, toilets and bathroom vanities that are already removed. Do not book loose building materials as household trash bags or as an extra item. Arrange suitable disposal for those materials with your contractor or a debris specialist.

Can a door, toilet and vanity go in the same pickup?

Yes. Add each listed fixture separately and choose the correct vanity size. Each detached door panel counts as one item. The combined price appears before you book. Keep the fixtures together outside, separate from anything staying, and add a location photo on your order page.

Will Decatur take construction debris from my remodel?

Only small amounts the homeowner generated, such as a few fencing panels, a toilet, cabinets, carpet and minor shingle piles, which the loader truck collects with the bulky material. Contractor debris is refused by city ordinance, and every contractor working in Decatur is required to haul away the debris from the work site.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

What goes in a Decatur recycling cart?

Newspapers and inserts, magazines, paperbacks, brown paper bags, directories, letters, envelopes, fliers, brochures, bulk mail, computer and school paper, flattened paperboard and corrugated cardboard, aluminum and steel cans including empty aerosols, and plastics numbered one and two. The program does not take glass, hardback books, plastic bags, waxed paper, motor oil or pesticide containers, and the cart fee rides on the monthly utility bill.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
