White Goods Roadside Pickup Service
In a continuing effort to keep Colbert County clean, the Colbert County Commission operates three trucks for the White Goods Roadside Pickup Service. Residents are asked to follow the rules below so the service can operate safely and efficiently.
What We Pick Up
- Items placed at your residential dwelling adjoining the County right of way, positioned so they do not create a traffic hazard and remain accessible to pickup trucks.
- Household goods such as mattresses, refrigerators, televisions, washers, and similar items.
- Limbs over 8 feet when cut into smaller pieces for pickup.
- Leaves and grass clippings must be boxed or bagged.
- Yard debris and shrubs.
If you clear a lot where there is no dwelling, you are responsible for disposing of the debris from that lot.
What We Do Not Pick Up
- No Tires
- No Batteries
- No construction-company or commercially generated debris
- No Bio-Hazardous materials
- No grass clippings or leaves unless bagged or boxed
- No large tree stumps or tree balls
- No residential houses, trailers, campers, or boats
- No slabs of concrete
- No debris from clearing or cleaning fence rows
Important Information
To avoid erosion and the overflow of drainage ditches onto roads, please do not place items in drainage ditches.
If you choose not to use the roadside pickup service, the community disposal location in the County is the Colbert County landfill, listed under Shoals Solid Waste Authority at (256) 381-9030.
Illegal dumping may result in fines and other possible charges for creating an illegal dump site.
For questions or additional information, contact the Colbert County Garbage Collection Agency at (256) 383-9918.
Roadside pickup service is not available on Federal or State Highways; the County does not pick up items placed on those rights-of-way.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
