Hanover Circle Repaving Delayed
The large trucks and paving equipment has caused some of the water pipes underneath Hanover Circle to crack and leak. BWWB has been contacted to make the necessary repairs before paving work resumes. The paving contractor has removed their equipment to make way for these repairs. The city anticipates BWWB's repairs will be done in March. Paving will resume after that and hopefully be completed by the end of April.
Curbside Recycling Pickups
(1st & 3rd Wed. of each month ONLY)
Next pickup - Wed. 2.16.22
*We have unfortunately confirmed that if the truck comes by on other days, they will pick up materials and take them to the dump.
(Recyclables can still be dropped off at Birmingham Recycling and Recovery M-F 7am-4pm* - 9 41st St. S., 35222 (Avondale).)
Check our website for more details on what can be recycled by clicking here.
Large Trash and Brush
2.17.22, 3.10.22, 3.31.22, 4.21.22
*These dates are confirmed but 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 the following day, please report to 311 (by dialing 311 or the city portal www.birminghamal.gov/311-portal) and send the confirmation code and address to highlandparkneighborhoodal@gmail.com.
