Good morning,
Thank you for reaching out! The City of Huntsville Sanitation Division advises that some areas of Huntsville may experience delays in the bulk curbside collection due to the Covid-19 Pandemic and the recent storms. The pandemic delays are due to everyone being at home and performing work around the house. Completely understandable, it is nice to finally have been able to find the time to hit the to-do-list!
This, however, has caused an abnormally large increase in the amount of debris that has been placed out for us to collect. Add to it, all the limbs and trees that have come down during the recent storms and we are in a situation where it can take multiple days to complete just one route.
The route supervisor has been made aware of the issue and sanitation crews are working as hard and as quickly as possible. We are asking residents to keep their curbside debris out until crews arrive.
We are still on schedule for garbage can collections and have been since the pandemic began. A lot of hard work has gone into achieving this standard for the garbage can collections and we plan on meeting that goal each and every week.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Huntsville Sanitation at (256) 883-3964. The Sanitation Office is open Mon - Thurs, 6 a.m. - 4 p.m., closed on Fridays. Huntsville Sanitation will continue to run routes on Fridays as long as they are behind schedule.
We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding during these difficult times. Thank you for using Huntsville Connect!
