New Curbside Bulk Cleanup Rules Take Effect This Week
De Armanville, AL · October 8, 2026
Overcast skies keep the morning cool before afternoon warmth takes over across the valley. Squeeze in your outdoor chores early if you plan to catch live music in town tonight.
The Lead
Under updated residential guidelines effective this week, neighboring Anniston has transitioned bulk waste operations fully to 121 Disposal, establishing tighter rules for autumn cleanups across the valley. Residents setting out storm brush, discarded household furnishings, or renovation scrap are now restricted to a single weekly pile measuring no more than six feet wide, six feet long, and four feet high—roughly five cubic yards. Lawn clippings and garden trimmings must be bagged, while limbs exceeding six feet or items topping 500 pounds will stay on the curb. Crucially, officials urge residents not to route service calls through City Hall or Public Works, and to verify any alleyway pickups directly with the hauler in advance. With fall yard maintenance in full swing, haulers are sticking strictly to the new measurements on their regular neighborhood rounds.

Spotlight & Story
- Choccolocco
- Spoken dozens of times daily on local roads and waterways, the name derives from the Muscogee Creek phrase choko rakko, meaning "big house"—a reference to the tribal ceremonial square ground once situated along the creek flats in the early 1800s.
