Large Item Pickup

• The District 4 office is responsible for the removal of your large trash debris once a month. This is usually  on the first Monday of the month. Sometimes it's a few days later depending on holiday schedules, pickup crew workloads, etc.

• Please place large debris in front of your home at curbside or the edge of the roadway by 6:00am on the beginning of your scheduled week.  During peak collection times, due to the increase in the amount of trash being placed out, collections may be delayed. 

• Per ICC Board Policy, do NOT put out yard waste or items for pickup more than 5 days prior to the pick up. 
  
• Please keep security in mind when you put out large trash items. Burglars will look for signs of recent expensive purchases like TV boxes, computer packaging, etc. If in doubt, tear up the materials and bag them in black plastic garbage bags to hide the contents.

• The amount of debris that will be picked up at each house should fit into a standard pickup truck bed. 

• If your debris exceeds this, please call the county office at 256-852-8351 to make special arrangements.  A service charge of $50 plus additional amount for disposal fees will be assessed by our Debris Collection Foreman. 

Typical trash items that are picked up include:

• Green Waste - Tree limbs (must be less than 8 ft in length), Brush, Bagged leaves & grass clippings, etc.

• Appliances - Washers, Refrigerators, etc.

• Furniture

Items NOT picked up include, but are not limited to: 

• Tree stumps, dirt, tires, automotive products, pesticides, paint, televisions, computers, shingles, insulation, concrete, bricks, or rocks.  These items can be taken to the Huntsville Landfill (256-881-8700) or The Handle with Care Collection Center (256-880-6054).

All waste must be placed out for collection in such a manner not to obstruct the flow of surface water or be an obstruction to traffic or pedestrians.

NOTE: If you hire professional services such as, home reconstruction or tree disposal, the workers should dispose of the waste they generate and CANNOT put this out for county collection.
