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.

Appliances and white goods

Accepted with preparation

Appliances are named as bulk items beside furniture and crates, so a washer, dryer or refrigerator goes out with the weekly trash rather than a special appointment.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Fairhope residential trash customers on the weekly trash route, inside the 2.5 cubic yard weekly pile. Collection is part of the billed residential service, and an oversized pile may be subject to additional charges.
When & how
Set the appliance out on the scheduled trash day, no more than 24 hours ahead. The city publishes bulk appliances as part of the once-a-week trash collection, not as a separate appointment.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, tape or remove doors and drawers, and keep it clear of sidewalks, streets, hydrants and drainage. Because the city describes collection rather than material recovery, confirm anything holding refrigerant or oil with the department at 251-928-8003 before you set it out.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Fairhope residents who live inside the city limits, hold City of Fairhope residential garbage service, register their vehicle at the same address and carry the city landfill decal.

Get it ready
Wipe personal data where the device allows it, and bring the city vehicle decal with you, because the decal is required for drop-off. The published list names TVs, stereos, microwaves, radios and similar electronics; ask about anything else at 251-928-8003 rather than leaving it at the curb.

Construction and renovation debris

Special rules apply

The city's trash pile is defined as yard waste, bulk items and non-hazardous large household debris, and the city names a Construction & Demolition Landfill without publishing what it takes, its hours or its fee.

City cost & eligibility
Fairhope publishes no accepted material list, hours or rate for construction and demolition debris. Confirm the material, the route and any charge with the Waste Management Department at 251-928-8003 before loading.
When & how
Call the Waste Management Department at 251-928-8003 with the material and the quantity before the work starts. The city's Streets and Construction page names a City of Fairhope Construction & Demolition Landfill that the division helps maintain, but publishes no acceptance details for it.
Get it ready
Keep renovation material out of the weekly trash pile, and separate treated wood, drywall, roofing and concrete so a receiving site can confirm each one. Paint is published separately: paint cans may not go in the bulk pile, and the monthly paint day at 555 South Section Street takes up to 5 gallons on the first Saturday of each month.

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise equipment is not named in the published trash, bulk or drop-off lists, so the Waste Management Department has to confirm the machine before it goes to the curb.

City cost & eligibility
Fairhope publishes no rate and no acceptance rule for an exercise machine. Confirm the item, the route and any charge with the Waste Management Department at 251-928-8003 before moving it outside.
When & how
Call 251-928-8003 with the machine type and weight before set-out, then use the weekly trash day if the department confirms it or another route if it does not.
Get it ready
Break the machine down where you can, keep the parts together so the pile stays contained, and ask whether the console counts as small electronics that have to go to the Section Street drop-off instead.

Mixed bulky loads

Accepted with preparation

The weekly trash pile takes up to 2.5 cubic yards of yard waste, bulk items and large household debris per household, once a week, with no mixed materials and no black plastic bags.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Fairhope residential trash customers on the weekly trash route, up to 2.5 cubic yards per week and one large item per week. Collection is part of the billed residential service, and a load over the weekly limit may be subject to additional charges.
When & how
The trash pile goes out once a week on your scheduled day, no more than 24 hours before pickup, and collection starts as early as 1:00 a.m. Only the first 2.5 cubic yards is collected from an oversized pile.
Get it ready
The limit is about the bed of a full-size pickup truck loaded level. Keep yard waste separate from bulk trash and household debris, bag everything so nothing is loose, keep items clear of sidewalks, streets, hydrants and drainage, and keep electronics, paint, oil and antifreeze containers and garden pots out of the pile. Yard waste uses compostable paper bags rather than plastic, logs may not exceed 8 inches in diameter, limbs may not be longer than 6 feet, stumps and root balls are refused, and debris from a commercial landscaper or tree service is not collected.

Review the weekly trash rules

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Fairhope runs the routes for this address, so the weekly trash pile is the main route: furniture, mattresses and appliances go out with it once a week inside 2.5 cubic yards, with one large item per household. Electronics cannot go in that pile, and the city sends them to the drop-off center at 555 S. Section Street, where a city landfill decal is required and where the city also takes glass, cooking oil and, on published days, paint, motor oil and chemicals. Renovation material has no published route or price, so confirm the material and the fee with the Waste Management Department at 251-928-8003 before hauling anything yourself.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Fairhope?

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 many large items can a Fairhope household set out each week?

One large item per household per week, which is how a mattress or box spring goes out on the scheduled trash day. The whole trash pile still has to stay within 2.5 cubic yards, and an oversized load may bring additional charges.Official guidance
