Garbage Billing

RHONDA MADDOX

 (205) 744-1728

SPRING CLEAN-UP

Our annual “Spring Clean-Up” week will be March 10TH through March 14TH.  We will once again have the dumpsters at the lower end of the city park, for this week only.  Please do not put hazardous materials such as paints, insecticides, batteries, tires, refrigerators, propane tanks, old gas cans or other like items in or around the dumpsters.  Also, once the dumpsters have been removed at the end of the week, we ask that you not place anything else in this location or you will receive a fine for littering.

GARBAGE BILLING

Ordinance 372 requires that every house in our city be billed for garbage service.  The charge for this service is $16.00 per month and is billed in arrears each quarter (the end of March, June, September and December).  If you are not receiving a garbage bill every three months you need to contact city hall at 744-1728 as soon as possible to avoid accumulation of charges.  Also, this ordinance states that the garbage fee is the responsibility of the property owner.  If you have rental property, you may want to check with your tenant to make sure this charge is being paid.  It is to your advantage to make sure city hall is notified when tenants move in or out.

JUST A FEW REMINDERS

Waste Management will provide the following service:

         **Weekly curbside service with ONE 90-gallon cart provided by Waste Management.

         **Bagged leaves or grass clippings in 30 gallon size bags will be collected at the same time the 90-gallon carts are serviced (up to 6 bags weekly).

         **Other items they will pick-up on your garbage day are small tree limbs that are no longer than 4 feet long and no larger than 4 inches in diameter.  Limb piles should not exceed a 4 foot by 4 foot square.  Also, they will pick-up small household items, old furniture, mattresses and water heaters.

**Please remember to put all household garbage in plastic bags and then in your garbage cart to prevent loose garbage from being scattered in your neighborhood.

**ALL CONTRACTORS are required to carry off all grass bags, trees and limbs cut or any construction debris.  (This includes homeowners doing remodeling).

**Garbage carts provided by WM are the property of Waste Management and should remain at the property if you should move.
