Some towns have it all. Great schools, a thriving job market, safe streets, plenty to do.
The best offer one thing more: A reason to go home again.
Residential Garbage
Please contact City Hall to establish garbage servcie - (205) 655-7478.
Residential garbage, recycling, yard debris, and miscellaneous debris pickup is provided at no cost to the resident.

Yard debris generated by the resident, such as trimmings and limbs should be placed behind the curb or ditch - not in the gutter or street - for pickup.
