Trash & Garbage Routes for New Citizens

As residents of Mobile, those who live 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 every month beginning October 2, 2023. Mobile is the only municipality in the region that does not charge specific trash and garbage fees. You can learn more about those services by clicking here.

If you're using a private garbage collection company, you will need to continue using that service through the end of September. Please remember that our staff and contractors will only collect City of Mobile garbage carts. Many garbage collection services provide garbage carts; if you have questions about what to do with those, please contact your service provider.

Residential Trash Pickup is defined as tree limbs, tree/yard debris, discarded furniture, and bedding. The City of Mobile's Residential Trash Collection runs every other week service and will collect approved items that you place by the roadside at your home. This is only available to residential properties. Household Garbage Pickup is defined as bagged household garbage placed in your brown City of Mobile garbage cart. Carts should be placed at the curb by 6 a.m. the morning of your scheduled garbage collection day. In the City of Mobile, Household Garbage is collected once every week.
