Montgomery adjusts garbage collection hours for the summer

WSFA · last updated

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) — The City of Montgomery is adjusting its garbage collection hours as the summer heat arrives.

Starting June 30 through Aug. 29, residential garbage pickup will be from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Residents need to place their green garbage cans at the curb by 6 a.m. on their scheduled collection day to ensure it is picked up.

The city’s sanitation department says the earlier start time will allow sanitation crews to complete their routes before the peak afternoon heat, reducing the risk of heat-related illnesses among workers.

“We’re asking for the community’s help to beat the heat,” said Director of Public Works Patrick Dunson. “By setting cans out earlier, residents can play a part in protecting the essential workers who keep our city clean and safe.”

Visit the city’s website, or contact the sanitation department directly for more.
