City collection Furniture is named in Dothan's bulk item list, so a couch, sofa, table, dresser or desk goes out with the weekly trash pile under the current rules, or through the request-based bulky route if the city adopts its August 2026 proposal. Furniture rides with the residential solid waste account and the city publishes no separate furniture price. Confirm the pile, the address and the current account charge with Environmental Services at (334) 615-3820.
City collection Dothan's published bulk list names furniture and appliances but does not name mattresses or box springs, so a mattress is not covered by an item rule the city has published. The practical route is the bulky pile or a requested collection, and Environmental Services has to confirm that a mattress is accepted before it goes out. No city page read for this guide publishes a mattress charge or names mattresses as an accepted bulk item, so confirm acceptance and the current charge with Environmental Services at (334) 615-3820 before setting one out.
City collection Appliances are named in Dothan's bulk item list, so a refrigerator, washer, dryer, oven or air conditioner goes out with the weekly trash pile under the current rules rather than into the green cart. No separate appliance fee is published, and the city's August 2026 proposal does not carve appliances out of the bulky route. Appliances ride with the residential solid waste account and the city publishes no per-appliance price. Confirm the item and the current account charge with Environmental Services at (334) 615-3820.
City collection Bulky items such as furniture and appliances ride with Dothan's once-a-week trash collection, which allows one pile per residence, neatly stacked at the curb rather than in the street. The city's August 2026 ordinance proposal would move bulky items to a request-only service ticket through Environmental Services, so a resident should call before building the pile. Bulky collection rides with the residential solid waste account and no separate pile price is published. The city's August 2026 proposal would also require a call-in with a minimum response time and would set a minimum fee for collecting noncompliant material, so confirm the route and the current account charge with Environmental Services at (334) 615-3820.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Dothan collects waste from the curb three ways under one account. The Environmental Services Division of Public Works provides weekly garbage in a city green cart, weekly trash that covers yard material and bulky items like furniture and appliances, and a voluntary blue-cart recycling service, and it runs the city landfill. The published trash limits are one pile per residence, neatly stacked at the curb rather than in the street, with limbs no longer than 5 feet and no thicker than 8 inches, and construction or demolition debris, tires and commercial waste are refused. Items that the recycling programme will not take, including electronics, furniture and carpet, are sent to the city landfill on Burkett Road for special handling. Public Works and Finance presented an ordinance revision package to the City Commission on August 4, 2026 that would move bulky collection to a call-in service ticket, keep green waste weekly, end curbside recycling pickup while keeping the drop-off centres, and change the monthly account charge, so confirm the current route with Environmental Services at (334) 615-3820.

City cost & eligibility
Bulky collection rides with the residential solid waste account and no separate pile price is published. The city's August 2026 proposal would also require a call-in with a minimum response time and would set a minimum fee for collecting noncompliant material, so confirm the route and the current account charge with Environmental Services at (334) 615-3820.
When & how
Put the pile out for the regular trash day, and call Environmental Services at (334) 615-3820 first if you want the collection requested and ticketed, which is the route the city's August 2026 ordinance proposal describes. Garbage runs in the green cart on the same weekly cycle but the trash pile is a separate collection.
Get it ready
Stack the pile neatly at the curb with room for the boom truck, keep it out of the street and out of gutters and ditches, and keep it clear of hydrants, poles, signposts, mailboxes and meters. Green waste has to be stacked separately from bulky items, and a pile the crew considers excessively large may be left in place.

City cost & eligibility
Furniture rides with the residential solid waste account and the city publishes no separate furniture price. Confirm the pile, the address and the current account charge with Environmental Services at (334) 615-3820.
When & how
Set furniture out on the regular trash day, keeping it separate from bagged leaves and brush so the pile can be lifted safely. Call Environmental Services to request a collection if the city requires a bulky service ticket for your address.
Get it ready
Keep the piece whole and out of the street, stack the pile neatly, and leave room for the boom truck to work. Do not bag furniture into the green cart, because only bagged household waste belongs there and items outside the cart are not collected.
Dothan's published bulk list names furniture and appliances but does not name mattresses or box springs, so a mattress is not covered by an item rule the city has published. The practical route is the bulky pile or a requested collection, and Environmental Services has to confirm that a mattress is accepted before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
No city page read for this guide publishes a mattress charge or names mattresses as an accepted bulk item, so confirm acceptance and the current charge with Environmental Services at (334) 615-3820 before setting one out.
When & how
Ask Environmental Services first, then place the mattress with the regular trash pile if the city confirms it, keeping it separate from bagged leaves and brush and clear of the street.
Get it ready
Keep a mattress dry and out of the green cart, because the cart takes bagged household waste only. The recycling programme will not take it either, and the city's proposed ordinance revisions would exclude move-out, eviction and estate clean-out debris from residential collection, so confirm the route before a clean-out is scheduled.
Appliances are named in Dothan's bulk item list, so a refrigerator, washer, dryer, oven or air conditioner goes out with the weekly trash pile under the current rules rather than into the green cart. No separate appliance fee is published, and the city's August 2026 proposal does not carve appliances out of the bulky route.
City cost & eligibility
Appliances ride with the residential solid waste account and the city publishes no per-appliance price. Confirm the item and the current account charge with Environmental Services at (334) 615-3820.
When & how
Place the appliance at the curb with the trash pile on the regular collection day, or call Environmental Services first if the city requires a bulky service ticket for your address.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, remove doors and lids that could trap a child or an animal, and keep it out of the street, off the storm drain and clear of hydrants, poles, mailboxes and meters. Do not leave an appliance in the green cart, and confirm before putting out an appliance produced by a contractor or a clean-out, because the proposed revisions exclude contractor material and clean-out debris from residential collection.
Electronics are prohibited in Dothan's recycling programme. The Recyclable Items page directs prohibited material to the City of Dothan Municipal Landfill on Burkett Road for special handling and disposal, while the RECYCLE page instead points to one of the local landfills listed under its landfill tab, and no curbside electronics collection or published electronics fee exists. The city landfill page also says the sanitary landfill is closed, so this route has to be confirmed before a resident loads a vehicle.
City cost & eligibility
No electronics rate is published on the city pages, and the Landfill page states that disposal fees will apply once the city sanitary landfill reopens while Environmental Services customers would then use it at no charge. Confirm the open status, the address and any fee with Environmental Services at (334) 615-3820 before hauling.
When & how
Call Environmental Services at (334) 615-3820 to confirm where electronics are being taken, because the landfill page describes the city landfill as closed while the Environmental Services page and the page footer print open hours. Do not put a television, monitor or computer in the blue recycling cart.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of both recycling streams and out of the green garbage cart, because the recycling rules prohibit them and the cart takes bagged household waste only. Bring the device whole where you can, and remember that the city landfill will not accept hazardous material such as oils, paints and lacquers, pool chemicals or pesticides.
Exercise equipment is not named in Dothan's bulk item list, the city's recycling lists or the ordinance revision presentation, so a treadmill, weight bench or home gym is not covered by a published item rule and has to be confirmed with Environmental Services.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine and the city does not name the category as an accepted bulky item, so confirm acceptance and the charge with Environmental Services at (334) 615-3820 before the machine goes out.
When & how
Call Environmental Services before the collection day and ask whether the machine counts as a bulky item and whether it needs a service ticket, then set it out with the pile if the city accepts it.
Get it ready
Fold or tie down the deck and handles, remove any console, screen or battery pack so the pieces can be handled or routed separately, and keep the machine out of the green cart. Anything the crew cannot lift safely may be left at the curb.
The city refuses construction and demolition debris, and its August 2026 ordinance proposal goes further: building materials except minor owner repairs, contractor-generated debris, landscape debris, dirt, rocks, concrete and bricks, and eviction, move-out and estate clean-out debris would all have to be removed by the owner or producer at their own expense. Two private permitted construction and demolition landfills appear on the city's own landfill page.
City cost & eligibility
Dothan publishes no residential route for construction, demolition or clean-out debris and states that the owner or producer removes it at their own expense, so a private permitted landfill or a container company is the local option and quotes the load.
When & how
There is no municipal collection schedule for this material. The city landfill page lists Omussee C and D Landfill at 4541 Kinsey Road, phone 334-671-8844, and Rosehill Landfill at 242 New Hope Road in Midland City, phone 334-983-6576, both permitted for construction and demolition debris, and neither publishes a gate rate on the city page.
Get it ready
Keep construction and demolition material, dirt, rocks, concrete and bricks out of the curbside pile and out of the green cart, because the city leaves prohibited material uncollected and its proposal sets a minimum fee for collecting noncompliant material. Loads still face the receiving facility's own rules, so call before hauling.
Garbage goes in the city-issued green cart, bagged, with the lid closed and the arrows on the lid facing the street. Carts are out before 6:00 AM on the collection day. Items left outside the cart are not collected, overfilled or badly placed carts are not serviced, and each residence is issued one 95-gallon cart, with a second cart available for a fee billed to the utility account. Paperwork is handled by Environmental Services at 281 Complex Drive, Suite 1, by phone at (334) 615-3820.
One neat pile per residence, with green waste stacked apart
Trash collection covers yard material such as leaves, limbs and grass clippings plus bulky items such as furniture and appliances, in one pile per residence. Stack it neatly at the curb rather than in the street, leave room for the boom truck, and keep the pile clear of hydrants, utility poles, signposts, mailboxes, water meters and transformers. Limbs are limited to 5 feet long, green waste is stacked separately from bulky items, and a pile the crew judges excessively large may be left behind.
Three categories are refused at the curb, and more are proposed
Construction and demolition debris, tires and commercial waste are not accepted in Dothan's curbside collection. The ordinance revision package presented on August 4, 2026 would extend that list to building materials except minor owner repairs, contractor-generated debris, landscape debris, dirt, rocks, concrete and bricks, tires and vehicle parts, eviction and move-out debris and estate clean-outs, and hazardous refuse, all of which the owner or producer would have to remove at their own expense. The same package proposes a minimum fee for collecting noncompliant material.
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.

Use the weekly curbside trash pile
Dothan residences with furniture, appliances or similar bulky household items that fit the one-pile-per-residence limit.

Request the collection through Environmental Services
A residence that wants the bulky pickup requested and ticketed, or that needs the city to confirm whether a specific item is accepted.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no per-request price. The August 2026 ordinance proposal would require call-ins for bulky waste with a minimum response time, so confirm the route and any account charge when you call.
Arrange it
Call Environmental Services at (334) 615-3820 during office hours, Monday to Thursday from 6:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with Friday crews limited to missed collections, and describe the items so the office can create a service ticket.

City of Dothan Environmental Services Division, Public Works
Ask about the city landfill for refused recycling material
A household with electronics, carpet or furniture that the recycling programme refuses and that cannot go in the green cart.
Cost & conditions
The recyclable items page sends prohibited material to the City of Dothan Municipal Landfill for special handling, and the landfill page states that disposal fees will apply once the city sanitary landfill reopens, with city Environmental customers then using it at no charge and commercial or non-city users charged a minimum per ton. Confirm the open status and the current charge before hauling.
Arrange it
Call Environmental Services at (334) 615-3820 to confirm the landfill is taking material and what the drop-off requires, because the Landfill page states the city sanitary landfill is closed while other city pages print open hours.
No hazardous material such as oils, paints and lacquers, household or pool chemicals, or pesticides and herbicides is accepted. The page also notes that any listed private facility is a courtesy listing rather than an endorsement.

Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.
How much does pickup cost?+
Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.
Can I book a pickup for today?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.
Do my items need to be outside when I book?+
You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.
Do bulky items in Dothan need to be requested before they go out?+
The city's current pages treat bulky items as part of the once-a-week trash collection with one pile per residence. The ordinance revision package presented to the City Commission on August 4, 2026 proposes that bulky items be collected only on request, with residents contacting Environmental Services to create a service ticket. Call (334) 615-3820 and follow whichever rule the city confirms for your address.Official guidance
Can a couch go in the green garbage cart in Dothan?+
No. The green cart takes bagged household waste only, and items left outside it are not collected. A couch is a bulky item, so it belongs in the curbside trash pile, neatly stacked and kept out of the street, or in the request-based bulky collection if the city requires one for your address.Official guidance
Will Dothan collect a refrigerator or a washer at the curb?+
Appliances are named as bulky items in the city's trash guidance, so they go out with the curbside pile rather than in the green cart. The city publishes no separate appliance price, and it asks residents to keep the pile neatly stacked and clear of the street, hydrants and poles.Official guidance
Can a television go in Dothan's recycling cart?+
No. Electronics are on the prohibited list for both city recycling pages, alongside carpet, furniture, glass and Styrofoam. The recyclable items page sends those prohibited items to the City of Dothan Municipal Landfill at 1290 Burkett Road for special handling, and Environmental Services can confirm the current drop-off arrangement at (334) 615-3820.Official guidance
What does the city charge for a bulky item collection in Dothan?+
Bulky items ride with the residential solid waste account, which the city bills monthly, and no separate pile price is published. Public Works and Finance presented an ordinance revision package on August 4, 2026 that would raise that monthly charge, add a fee for a second garbage cart, move bulky items to a call-in service ticket and stop curbside recycling pickup while keeping the drop-off centres, so ask Environmental Services at (334) 615-3820 for the current figure. Dropcurb prices a pickup separately and shows the total at checkout.Official guidance
Who do I call about garbage, trash or a missed collection in Dothan?+
Environmental Services at 281 Complex Drive, Suite 1 handles residential garbage, trash and recycling questions, missed collections, additional carts and the city landfill, at (334) 615-3820 or publicworks@dothan.org. The office is open Monday to Thursday from 6:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and Friday crews handle missed collections only.Official guidance
How do holidays change collection in Dothan?+
The city publishes a holiday sanitation schedule because garbage, trash and recycling days are often affected. In the 2026 calendar, Juneteenth on Friday June 19 and Independence Day on Friday July 3 are regular schedule weeks, while Thanksgiving week from November 23 and Christmas week from December 21 shift Monday and Tuesday pickups to the Monday, Wednesday to the Tuesday and Thursday to the Wednesday, and no recycling is collected in either of those weeks.Official guidance
What can go in the Dothan recycling cart?+
Recycling is voluntary and limited to cardboard, mixed paper, plastics 1 through 5, aluminum beverage cans and steel cans, placed loose rather than bagged. Carpet, furniture, electronics, glass of any kind, Styrofoam, yard waste, needles and hazardous material are prohibited, and the city sends those prohibited items to the municipal landfill on Burkett Road for special handling instead.Official guidance
