BAY MINETTE, Alabama — The City of Bay Minette’s Public Works Department is reminding residents to not combine yard debris and bulky waste/garbage into one pile. Yard debris includes materials resulting from landscape maintenance, including grass clippings, leaves, pine straw, twigs, branches, etc. These are considered natural items and are placed in a separate landfill pit for decomposition. Combining these items into one pile delays pick-up as Public Works crews have to sift through and separate the items before removal.
AS A REMINDER: Garbage collection crews operate Monday through Friday with the exception of holidays. Garbage should be curbside by 7 a.m. on your day of service. Time of pick-up can vary slightly and pick-up can only be assured by placing garbage curbside before the route begins.
YARD DEBRIS: Pick-up of yard waste will follow the same schedule as residential garbage pick-up. Yard debris includes materials resulting from landscape maintenance, including grass clippings, leaves, pine straw, twigs, branches, etc. These are considered natural items and are placed in a separate landfill pit for decomposition.
BULKY WASTE: Bulky waste items will be picked up on Wednesdays. Bulky waste includes items such as furniture, appliances, mattresses, carpets, etc. These should be placed curbside, separated from yard debris and household garbage. Construction and demolition waste are not eligible for this service.
RECYCLING: The City of Bay Minette does not have a curbside recycling program at this time. The Baldwin County Solid Waste Department has placed recycling containers at various locations in north Baldwin County. Cardboard, aluminum and plastic can be placed in these containers located at Bay Minette Public Works on First Street, Commission Administration Building on West Third Street, Stockton Post Office, Bicentennial Park on Alabama 225, Stapleton Volunteer Fire Department on Alabama 59, and the Bay Minette Transfer Station on Nicholsville Road.
