City of Mobile launching trash, garbage services in newly annexed areas Oct. 2
Mobile, Ala. — The City of Mobile will be initiating household garbage and roadside trash collection services in the newly annexed areas of West Mobile beginning Monday, Oct. 2, 2023.
As City of Mobile residents, those in the newly annexed areas will receive free weekly household garbage service and free trash/debris collection (tree limbs, tree/yard debris, discarded furniture, etc.) twice a month. Mobile is the only municipality in the region that does not charge specific trash and garbage fees.
Because roadside trash is collected every other week, residents in the newly annexed areas who live north of Grelot Road will not have their trash picked up until the week of Oct. 9. Trash collection will begin for residents south of Grelot Road on the week of Oct. 2. You can find maps of the new trash and garbage routes at https://www.cityofmobile.org/new-citizen-routes-2023. Residents can also find their assigned pickup day by searching a home address using the City's online information tool: My Place.
“We were incredibly excited to welcome more than 19,000 new residents to Mobile in July, and we are just as excited to begin providing full city services to those residents in the coming weeks,” Mayor Sandy Stimpson said. “Our goal is to make sure these Mobilians look back and view joining our city as a positive. As we begin implementing new services in these areas, please don’t hesitate to contact Mobile 311 or my office if you have any questions or concerns.”
The City of Mobile has been delivering garbage carts to all households in the newly annexed areas for the past month. If you live in these areas and have yet to receive one, please submit a Mobile 311 request so that we can ensure you receive garbage services from the City of Mobile. The City of Mobile provides an initial garbage cart at no cost, but residents can also purchase an additional cart by submitting a 311 request. The price for a 96-gallon cart is $85.00, and a 64-gallon cart costs $76.00. To learn more about how to submit a 311 request, visit https://www.cityofmobile.org/services/311/.
Some residents in the newly annexed areas may still have a privately owned garbage cart they no longer need. The City of Mobile and our partners at the Osprey Initiative are willing to pick those carts up and recycle them at no cost. If you want to recycle your old garbage cart, please complete the form below before Monday, October 2. https://forms.monday.com/.../9dda7659ab664fe1a3dfdc321ef0…
