The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Fairhope runs its own collection from 555 S. Section Street. Garbage goes out twice a week, the trash pile once a week, and recycling once a week, and the weekly trash pile is where furniture, mattresses and appliances belong. That pile is capped at 2.5 cubic yards, so a house cleanout takes more than one week. Televisions, computers and other small electronics never go in the trash, and the city sends them to the drop-off center on Section Street with a landfill decal, the same sticker that opens the city landfill to residents.
A mattress or box spring may go to the curb on the scheduled trash pickup day, and each household may place one large item per week inside the 2.5 cubic yard weekly pile.
