You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
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.

Residential trash is collected every other week as a curbside pile for tree and yard debris, discarded furniture and bedding, within a limit of about two cubic yards or 15 bags.
City cost & eligibility
A pile larger than the limit is collected by Public Works for a charge based on its size, and the city issues an estimate through a work order at 208-5311.
When & how
Follow the north or south every-other-week calendar. The pile may not be placed at the curb more than 48 hours before the scheduled collection day.
Get it ready
Keep the pile on the property where it originated, as close to the street as possible without blocking sidewalks, gutters, drains, hydrants or traffic. Bag leaves, plants and grass clippings inside the limit, and keep limbs over 12 inches in diameter or over 6 feet long out of the pile.
Discarded furniture is part of the city's own definition of residential trash, so a couch leaves with the every-other-week pile as long as the load stays inside the size limit.
City cost & eligibility
Furniture within the pile limit is covered by the every-other-week trash service, and a larger load is collected by Public Works for a charge estimated through a work order.
When & how
Put furniture out with your every-other-week trash pile, not more than 48 hours before the collection day.
Get it ready
Place the piece on the property where it originated, close to the street but clear of sidewalks, drains, hydrants and traffic. Keep the whole pile within about two cubic yards or the equivalent of 15 bags.
A mattress is discarded bedding and furniture, which the city defines as residential trash, so it goes out with the every-other-week pile inside the size limit.
City cost & eligibility
A mattress within the pile limit is covered by the every-other-week trash service, and a larger load is collected by Public Works for a charge estimated through a work order.
When & how
Put the mattress on the trash pile no more than 48 hours before your collection day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress out of the brown garbage cart and set it on the trash pile instead. Keep the whole pile within about two cubic yards or the equivalent of 15 bags.
Set the pile on the property where it originated, as close to the street as possible without blocking sidewalks, gutters, drains, hydrants or traffic. Keep it within about two cubic yards, or the equivalent of 15 bags, and do not set it out more than 48 hours before the scheduled collection day.
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.
A household whose furniture, bedding or yard debris will not fit the two-cubic-yard allowance.
Cost & conditions
The city charges for a pile beyond the limit based on its size and issues an estimate through a work order, so confirm the price before the crew is dispatched.
Arrange it
Call 208-5311, place a work order and ask for an estimate for the pile.
The pile still has to stay clear of sidewalks, drains and traffic, and prohibited material such as appliances, electronics, paint, tires and glass still cannot be mixed in.
A household with a vehicle and a load of trash or demolition debris that it would rather not leave at the curb.
Cost & conditions
The city lists the landfills and their hours but publishes no fee schedule, so confirm the rate and the accepted material with the site before loading.
Arrange it
Check the landfill-information page, pick a site that accepts the material, and drive the load there during its open hours.
Only Chastang Landfill is listed for household garbage as well as trash and demolition debris; the other sites are listed for trash and demolition debris only, and Chastang takes credit card payment only. Tires are a separate route: the city does not collect them on the residential trash day, and its scrap tire page lists H&S Landfill in Semmes among the sites that take them, at a published per tire or per cubic yard charge with a minimum, with no tire acceptance there on Friday or Saturday.
Mobile residents can self-haul, and the city lists four area landfills with their addresses, phones and hours on one page. Only the Chastang Landfill listing includes household garbage alongside trash and demolition debris; the other three are listed for trash and demolition debris only, and the page carries no fee schedule for any of them, so confirm the price and the accepted material before leaving. Recycling and residential electronics are the exception at the curb, because the three city drop-off centers take them free from Mobile residents.

Before you book

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.

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.
What can go in a Mobile residential trash pile?+
The city defines trash as tree limbs, tree and yard debris, discarded furniture and bedding, and limits each residence to about two cubic yards or 15 bags every other week.
