Named dumps, transfer stations, and HHW sites tied to this city’s research. Confirm hours on the official source.
Items that share the same official city or county source are grouped here. Alias items open this program section; core guides stay on their own page.
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Birmingham mattresses go on area-scheduled bulk trash — set out by 6 a.m. on your neighborhood's scheduled day (check calendar or call 311). Free for city-served households. District dumpsters also accept mattresses Mon–Fri 7:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. at Ensley, Eastend, North Birmingham, and Southside locations.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
Jefferson County HHW events accept household hazardous materials free for residents. Automotive fluids at county HHW events.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Electronics including mixed e-waste may go on Birmingham bulk trash or Eastern Area Landfill unloading. Prefer Jefferson County e-waste events when scheduled (e.g. Birmingham City Hall dates on jccal.org). Wipe data before disposal. CRT TVs may incur private recycler fees outside events.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Contractor construction debris is not typical Birmingham household bulk. Hire a private C&D hauler for remodel loads. Route paint/tires/batteries to Jefferson County HHW events — not Eastern Area Landfill unloading.
Yard waste, food scraps, and cooking oil where the city has a separate stream.
Official source:
Birmingham handles brush on area-scheduled collection with bulk. Follow set-out rules and the monthly calendar; call 311 with questions.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Birmingham recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. City of Birmingham — Garbage, recycle & bulk trash schedules is the official Birmingham program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
