Huntsville Solid Waste Disposal Authority (SWDA) and Public Works provide weekly curbside garbage collection. Carts must be placed at curb by 6 AM on collection day and removed by end of next day under Huntsville Code Chapter 22.
Huntsville Public Works Solid Waste Division collects residential garbage weekly on a designated day based on address. Residents receive a 95-gallon wheeled cart. Collection begins at 6 AM so carts must be out the night before or by 6 AM. Empty carts must be returned from curbside within 24 hours after collection. Holiday schedule shifts pickup by one day for New Years Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Yard waste is collected separately on a weekly schedule. All waste must be in the provided cart with lid closed, or in approved containers not exceeding 32 gallons or 40 pounds. Contact 256-883-3944 for cart issues.
Overflowing carts, loose trash, or leaving carts at curb beyond allowed time can result in citations from Huntsville Code Enforcement with fines typically 50 to 250 dollars.
