Large Trash & Brush Pick up
Highland Park is scheduled for March 13
Updates can be found here: www.birminghamal.gov/bulktrash
*These dates may not be on the usual day of the week. Crews may also be delayed by a day or two.
Buildings with dumpsters DO NOT receive city pickups.
Please do not make new piles right after pickup; try to wait until closer to the next pickup.
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.
Sometimes the city runs behind...if your pile is missed and not collected in the following days, please report to 311 or the My Bham 311 App.
