4 rules for unincorporated Mobile County, Alabama.
Verified from official government sources
Mobile County runs no countywide curbside route, but Alabama Code §22-27-3 makes every household and business generating solid waste subscribe to an approved service. In the unincorporated Gulf Coast, residents contract a private hauler like Republic Services.
Ala. Code §22-27-3
Every person, household, business, industry, or property generating solid wastes, garbage, or ash as defined in this section shall participate in and subscribe to such system of service unless granted a certificate of exception.
No county ordinance sets when or where carts go to the curb in unincorporated Mobile County. Set-out day and time follow your private hauler's route, and cart storage between pickups is an HOA matter.
Large items must reach an approved disposal site, not a ditch or vacant lot. Illegal dumping in unincorporated Mobile County violates Alabama Code §22-27-7 and the county Junk Control Ordinance, enforced by Environmental Enforcement officers.
Ala. Code §22-27-7
Any person violating any provision of this article or any rule or regulation made pursuant to this article shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, shall be fined not less than $50.00 nor more than $200.00.
Alabama has no recycling mandate, and Mobile County requires nothing to be separated or diverted. Recycling in the unincorporated Gulf Coast is entirely voluntary, offered through private haulers and drop-off sites rather than any county law.
