In November 2014 the county will begin distributing new 96 gallon county-owned garbage containers to replace the garbage cans that you are now using. Once your new container has been delivered to you, the county will no longer pick up your garbage unless it is placed inside the county-provided container. The county will place a flag at the spot beside the road where you should place your county-provided container on garbage collection day. In addition, please note the following:


1) The garbage container belongs to the county. Each container has a unique identifier number and is assigned to you and your service address. If you move you must notify the county so we can pick up the container. Failure to do so would result in your being charged for the cost of the container.


2) The first container is provided at no charge. Additional containers will be delivered to you upon request for a one-time non-refundable rental fee of $75. If you move, please notify the county and we will pick up all containers. Failure to do so will result in the cost of the container being charged to you.


3) If payment of your garbage bill is delinquent by 60 days or more as of 10/1/2014 you will be required to complete a signup sheet in order to receive your garbage container. This form can be completed at the Sanitation Collection Office located on the sixth floor of the County Administration Building or can be completed and mailed to the below address. A copy of the form can also be found on the county web site – houstoncounty.org. If your bill is current or less than 60 days past due as of 10/1/2014, your garbage container will be delivered automatically with no signup required.


4) After November 2014, if your garbage bill is delinquent by 90 days or more the county will retrieve the county-provided container and will no longer pickup up your garbage until your garbage fee has been paid.


5) There will be no increase in garbage pickup fee as a result of this change. However, a few customers will have their garbage pickup day changed. Anyone impacted by this will be notified well in advance of the change.


6) Note that in accordance with Alabama law, all residents are required to participate in the mandatory garbage collection program.


7) All garbage placed inside the county-provided containers must first be placed inside garbage bags.


For questions regarding your new cans or for completing the sign up application if your bill is more than 60 days past due as of 10/1/2014, please contact:
