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.

Heavy trash and furniture

Accepted with preparation

The weekly curbside program takes heavy trash: large yard waste, furniture and material from minor household projects such as cabinets or toilets, as long as the pile stays inside the City's size limits.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Heavy trash at homes receiving City collection on the assigned weekly collection day. The City publishes no separate heavy trash charge and asks for no advance call for material that meets the pile limits.
When & how
Heavy trash moves with the same weekly collection as the carts. Bagged grass clippings are collected at the curb when they are set clear of obstacles.
Get it ready
A pile, including brush, may not exceed four feet high, ten feet long and five feet deep. Put it no more than two feet from the street's edge and about five feet from mailboxes, utility poles, fences and parked cars, keep it clear of low limbs, utility lines and water meters, and expect an oversized pile to be left for the resident to dispose of.

Mattresses

Special rules apply

The City's heavy trash description names furniture and material from minor household projects but does not list mattresses, so a mattress needs a call before it goes to the curb.

City cost & eligibility
The City publishes no mattress rule and no mattress charge. Call the Solid Waste and Recycling office at (256) 760-6495 to confirm that a mattress will be collected with the heavy trash before you set it out.
When & how
Confirm the mattress with the Solid Waste and Recycling office, then place it with the heavy trash pile on the collection day, inside the four foot by ten foot by five foot pile limit.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress out of the garbage cart and off the top of the pile. A pile that exceeds the published dimensions is left for the resident to dispose of, so build the pile around the size it will actually be.

Appliances and white goods

Special rules apply

The City publishes no white good or appliance rule and does not name appliances in its heavy trash description, so an appliance needs a call before it leaves the property.

City cost & eligibility
The City publishes no appliance acceptance rule and no appliance rate, and the landfill page describes construction and demolition waste rather than appliances. Call the Solid Waste and Recycling office at (256) 760-6495 to confirm the item and the route, including whether a cooling appliance needs anything done to it first.
When & how
Call the Solid Waste and Recycling office at (256) 760-6495 before an appliance goes to the curb, and do not set it out with the heavy trash until that call has confirmed the collection.
Get it ready
Leave the appliance whole rather than breaking it apart at the curb, and keep refrigerant, oil and other chemicals out of the garbage cart. City code makes it unlawful to place hazardous waste, medical waste or other dangerous substances in a cart or dumpster.

Construction and demolition debris

Not on the regular city route

The City does not collect construction debris, and contractors are responsible for disposing of the construction and demolition debris their projects generate.

City cost & eligibility
The City states plainly that it does not collect construction debris and that this is not a service it provides. Project material has to move through the contractor, a private container, or a self hauled load to the city landfill, which charges published tipping fees instead of a collection charge.
When & how
Nothing from a project goes out with the weekly collection, so arrange disposal with the contractor or haul the material to the landfill during its open hours.
Get it ready
Keep lumber, brick, block, shingles, tile, drywall and demolition material out of the garbage cart and off the heavy trash pile. The city code definition of trash covers building materials such as lumber, bricks, cement blocks, shingles and wire, and it is not part of the curbside program.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Carts at the curb with room around them

City code asks for carts at the curb or alley by 7:00 a.m. on the collection day, within two feet of the curb and at least three feet from other objects, with the handle facing away from the street. One section of the City's residential page states 6:00 a.m., so setting out by the earlier time covers both, and carts come in within 24 hours after they are emptied.

Project debris and problem waste stay out

The City does not collect construction debris and says contractors handle what their projects generate. Liquids, paints and other hazardous materials are not collected at the curb, and hazardous waste, medical waste and other dangerous substances cannot go in the carts.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Florence residents can haul their own loads. The city landfill at 29485 County Road 14 takes nonhazardous construction and demolition waste generated inside the city limits with proof of residency, and city residents may put household waste in the dumpsters there. It opens Monday through Thursday 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., closes Saturday, and the City lists the county sites at 5450 and 5700 Hwy 157 as the Saturday option. Recycling drop-off is separate: the Recycling Plant at 1200 Terrace Street keeps outdoor bins open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and available to anyone. Call the Solid Waste and Recycling office at (256) 760-6495 before bringing an item the City does not list.

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.

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.

Where should the pile go?

Within two feet of the street's edge and about five feet away from obstacles such as mailboxes, utility poles, fences and parked cars. Keep the pile out from under low hanging limbs, utility lines and cables, and never place trash on top of a water meter.Official guidance

Will the City pick up a mattress?

What happens if the pile is too big for collection?

The City also does not collect liquids, paints or other hazardous materials at the curb, so keep oil and refrigerant out of the cart while the pickup is arranged.Official guidance
