Large Trash and Brush Pickups:
Thurs. 1.14.21, 2.4.21, 2.25.21, 3.18.21
Leaves and smaller brush and trash MUST BE BAGGED. Larger limbs/branches and furniture items can be piled neatly.
If space allows, make separate piles: trash/furniture/mattresses/appliances/etc. in one and another pile for plant materials (leaves, limbs, brush) to be mulched by the city.
They use two different trucks, and making separate piles helps them stay efficient.

Neighborhood Elections - Delayed - Date TBD
The 99 neighborhoods (each with its own Neighborhood Association) in Birmingham are grouped into 23 Communities. One elected leader from each community serves on the Community Advisory Board (CAB) which meets monthly at City Hall (or via teleconference).
In August, the CAB voted to delay Neighborhood Officer Elections until January 2021. However, the resolution was not submitted to the Council for approval, so the elections have been delayed again. We are waiting to receive updates from the city and will provide them to you.
