You do not need a whole house of junk. Select the bags, boxes and larger items you actually have. Your combined price is shown online.
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.

There is no designated bulk day, so a large pile of yard debris or bulk trash is requested through Vestavia Hills Connect or by calling Public Services, and the city says it is collected within ten business days.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Sanitation collection is a municipal service included in the payment of property taxes, and the city publishes no separate item charge for a bulk or debris request.
When & how
File the request through Vestavia Hills Connect or call Public Services at 205.978.0150, keep the confirmation number, and do not file a duplicate. Small amounts of loose debris go in the cart or beside it on the first collection of the week, and a request is needed for fifteen or more bags.
Get it ready
Keep branches under six feet long, keep the pile no more than three feet from the curb and clear of obstructions, and check the accepted and refused lists first, because televisions, tires, contractor bags and construction material are not collected.
Mattresses are on the city's accepted list, and the FAQ gives them their own request process with a shorter collection window.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Sanitation collection is a municipal service included in the payment of property taxes, and no separate mattress charge is published.
When & how
Submit a debris or bulk collection request and note that the item is a mattress to expedite it. Collection cannot be scheduled, so have the mattress at the curb when the request is placed, and expect it to be collected within three to four business days.
Get it ready
Place the mattress at the curb rather than leaning it against a wall, mailbox or other fixed object, because a propped mattress will not be collected. Keep it dry and clear of the cart.
Small furniture items are on the city's accepted list, and a larger piece or a whole room clear-out goes through a bulk or debris request instead.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Sanitation collection is a municipal service included in the payment of property taxes, and no separate furniture charge is published.
When & how
A small piece can go out with the first collection of the week, and anything larger should be filed as a debris or bulk collection request through Vestavia Hills Connect or 205.978.0150.
Get it ready
Keep upholstery dry and the piece clear of mailboxes, hedges, walls and parked vehicles, because material more than three feet from the curb is not collected. Contractor bags and piles generated by a hired contractor are refused.
Most appliances are collected, and a refrigerated appliance needs a Freon removal tag issued by a certified technician before it is set out.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Sanitation collection is a municipal service included in the payment of property taxes, and no separate appliance charge is published. The Freon removal tag must come from a certified technician before collection.
When & how
Set the appliance out under the appliance rule for the first collection of the week, or file a debris or bulk collection request if the unit is part of a larger pile.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, secure or remove the doors, and keep the Freon removal tag ready for a refrigerated appliance. Large appliances are refused at the city's shred and recycle event, so the curbside route is the one that takes them.
Televisions are explicitly refused curbside and are collected instead at the city's shred and recycle event, where recycling a television carries a published charge.
City cost & eligibility
The event page publishes a charge for television recycling and a separate charge for CRT monitors while flat panel monitors are free, but the page still carries a past event date, so confirm the current fee and the next event date with Public Services at 205.978.0150.
When & how
Televisions are not collected at the curb. Take the set to the city's Shred and Recycle Day, held in the City Hall and Civic Center parking lots from 8 a.m. to noon, typically on a Saturday in September, and confirm the current date first because the published page shows an earlier year.
Get it ready
Keep the screen whole, wipe stored data where the set powers on, and leave wooden console televisions at home, because they are refused at the event. Televisions are also refused in the curbside pile.
Electronics are not part of the curbside accepted list, and they are collected at the city's shred and recycle event instead.
City cost & eligibility
Most items at the event are free, with published charges for CRT monitors, optional hard drive destruction and television recycling, and fees are paid by cash or card. The event page shows a past date, so confirm the current fee list and date with Public Services.
When & how
Bring the devices to the city's Shred and Recycle Day in the City Hall and Civic Center parking lots, 8 a.m. to noon or until capacity is reached, typically on a Saturday in September, and confirm the current date first.
Get it ready
Wipe or remove stored drives first, bag the adapters and cables with the device, and keep electronics out of the curbside pile and the recycling stream. Large appliances, wooden console televisions, gas cans and paint or pesticides outside their original containers are refused at the event.
Exercise equipment is not named on the accepted list, the refused list or the event list, so Public Services has to confirm the machine first.
City cost & eligibility
No published entry covers an exercise machine. Sanitation is funded through property taxes and no item price is published, so confirm the item and the request route with Public Services at 205.978.0150.
When & how
Call Public Services at 205.978.0150 before the machine is set out, then use the first collection of the week or a debris and bulk request as directed.
Get it ready
Describe the machine, its weight and whether it has powered parts, drain it if it holds fluid, and keep it clear of the cart so the collection equipment can reach it.
There is no designated bulk day, so a large pile of yard debris or bulky material starts with a request in Vestavia Hills Connect or a call to Public Services at 205.978.0150, and the city says the pile is collected within ten business days. Keep the confirmation number, do not file a duplicate, and set the material no more than three feet from the curb and away from mailboxes, hedges, walls and parked cars.
Use the first collection of the week for household material
The first collection of the week takes household garbage and small bulk or brush to the landfill, and the second takes the mixed recycling stream, so yard waste does not belong in the second collection. Material has to be out by 6:30 a.m., no single bag or container may exceed 50 pounds, and branches may not be longer than six feet.
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.

Hazardous waste collection days
Paint, fluorescent and mercury containing bulbs, and household and automotive batteries.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no fee for the hazardous waste days, and it describes them as resident-only events. Confirm the current dates and any charge at 205.978.0150.
Arrange it
Two days are offered each year, typically a Saturday in September that also takes electronics, shredding and medications, and a day in May that takes hazardous waste only. More information is publicised in the weeks before each event.
Residents only, and gas cans and propane cans are refused at both days. Small quantities of household chemicals can also go in the regular garbage spread across several collection days, and gasoline never goes in the garbage.
Vestavia Hills has no city drop-off or landfill, so self-haul is limited to the city's Shred and Recycle Day for electronics, televisions, hazardous waste, paper and medications. Everything else moves through the curbside routes or a debris and bulk request made in Vestavia Hills Connect or by calling Public Services at 205.978.0150. Contractor generated material and construction debris are the contractor's responsibility, and a roll-off container needs a permit from the city.
