The District 3 office is responsible for the removal of your large trash debris once a month. All residents are charged $3.00 a month on their utility bill for this service.

Please place large debris in front of your home at curbside or the edge of the roadway. All debris must be placed out for collection in such a manner not to obstruct the flow of surface water or be an obstruction to traffic or pedestrians.

The amount of debris we will pick up at each house per month should fit into a standard pickup truck bed. If your debris exceeds this, please call our office at 256-776-2475 (Brownsboro) or 256-723-4247 (New Hope) for SPECIAL SERVICE. The minimum charge is $50.00. The fee depends on manpower, equipment, and disposal fees.

Trash items that are picked up include:
• Tree limbs (must be cut in 8 ft. lengths or less), brush, bagged leaves & bagged grass clippings, etc.
• Appliances – washers, refrigerators, etc.
• Furniture

Items NOT picked up include, but are not limited to:
• Automotive products, car batteries, pesticides, household batteries, paint and related products, TVs, computers, treated wood, glass, shingles, insulation, concrete, bricks, and rock. These items can be taken to the Huntsville Landfill or the Handle with Care Collection Center

• Household garbage/waste or refuse that would normally be placed in the green garbage cans WILL NOT be picked up.

• NOTE: If you hire Professional services, such as home reconstruction or tree disposal, the workers should dispose of the waste they generated and CANNOT put this out for county collection.

** TIRES must be placed in a pile behind our gate during working hours, you must sign in at the office before dropping them off. They must be removed from rims and must be free of dirt, mud, gravel and debris. We DO NOT accept tires from commercial vendors. Our landfill does not accept tires, but we have a tire recycling grant that uses a third party to dispose of old tires. The grant will be discontinued if we do not abide by these rules.
