Trash Amnesty 2024 set for March 4-29

February 27 2024

AUBURN, Ala.- Trash Amnesty 2024 will take place March 4-29, giving Auburn residents a chance to take care of spring cleaning without paying extra fees.

During Trash Amnesty 2024, collection fees will be waived for oversized yard debris and other bulky items that exceed five cubic yards (or 6 feet x 6 feet x 4 feet). Residents are asked to keep the following guidelines in mind when putting out materials for collection:

  • We accept yard waste, appliances and bulky items for collection. Do NOT include household garbage or hazardous waste.
  • Place debris at the curb no later than 6 a.m. on your regular collection day.
  • Place items at least 3 feet from mailboxes, utility boxes, poles or other fixed objects.
  • Contain or bundle items so they don’t fall into the street or down storm drains.
  • Limbs and other debris should be no longer than 5 feet.
  • Place all items in one pile for pickup.

Because of the large volume of pickup expected during Trash Amnesty 2024, residents may experience a delay in their normal collection schedule. For questions, contact Environmental Services at (334) 501-3080 or webenvirsvc@auburnalabama.org.
