City of Chickasaw curbside trash and yard debris collection
Residential accounts of the City of Chickasaw. Materials from commercial businesses are not collected as household trash.
Conditions and source
Run by the city itself, separately from the household garbage cart, which is contracted to A-1 McDuffie Sanitation. Collected every other week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The city's own definition: "Trash is tree limbs, yard debris, furniture, and bedding", and the current new-service packet lists the bulk items to set out as "tree limbs, old furniture, refrigerators, air conditioning unitd, mattresses, box springs, some large debris and cardboard boxes (MUST BE BROKEN DOWN)". Pile no more than 3 cubic yards, set out the night before the scheduled day, curbside outside any fenced yard and no further than 4 feet from the curb, clear of vehicles, street signs, fire hydrants, low-hanging power lines, mailboxes, posts and trees, on main streets rather than alleyways. No item over 700 lb. Grass clippings, leaves, pine straw and small items must be bagged. Freon must be removed from refrigerators and air-conditioning units. Not accepted: liquids including paint, spackle and used cooking oil; limbs over 12 inches in diameter or over 8 feet long; evictions and cleanouts; commercial materials; contractor debris; unbagged small debris; hazardous waste; household garbage; tires; televisions; wet paint cans; and construction materials of any kind. Inquiries at 251-452-6450 option 2.
Not confirmed: No fee is published for the trash collection, and no monthly garbage rate is published either.
Not confirmed: The 2025 rules sheet excludes refrigerators and freezers outright while the 2026 packet lists them as bulk items with the Freon removed; the two documents disagree on appliances though not on bedding.

Most charities will not take a used mattress. These are the ones we checked, including the ones that say no.

- Doesn’t take mattresses. Habitat for Humanity national ReStore guide: 'Mattresses and box springs are not accepted.' Source
Policies vary by branch. Call before you carry one over — we asked each of the big three directly: Goodwill, the Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity.
What Mobile County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Chickasaw and its neighbors.
- Mobile County runs no household collection of any kind. Its own Frequently Asked Questions page asks "Does Mobile County offer trash or garbage service?" and answers "No. Trash and garbage collection is offered by companies in the area." There is no county bulky-item, large-item or special pickup, no county cart program and no county subscription: a household in unincorporated Mobile County - or in one of the smaller municipalities that does not collect for itself - arranges its own private service. Mobile County's Environmental Services department (Mobile Government Plaza, 7th Floor South Tower, 205 Government Street, Mobile, AL 36644, 251-574-3229) oversees solid waste planning rather than collection. Source Not confirmed: The county names no hauler and publishes no list of the companies serving unincorporated Mobile County, so it cannot be established from the county who a reader outside a collecting municipality should call.
- Operation Clean Sweep is Mobile County's only county-wide free disposal event, and it is organized by neighborhood rather than scheduled. The Department of Environmental Enforcement "provides a central location where residents may dispose of your trash"; it is "a countywide program that encourages all Mobile County residents" to take part, but "All it takes is for a group of twelve or more area residents to be interested in participating. With this in mind, elect a team captain today and call the Mobile County Department of Environmental Enforcement at (251) 574-STOP(7867)." The ACCEPTABLE ITEMS list is "Appliances, Computers/Printers, Flat Screen TVs, Flat Screen Monitors, Household items, Yard Debris, Scrap Metal, Clothing, Microwaves, Electronics and Tires (limited to 10)." The NON-ACCEPTABLE ITEMS list is "Tubed TVs, Computer Monitors (CRT type), Roofing, Hazardous Waste, Junk Cars, Boats, Pressure Tanks, Waste Oil, Liquid Paint, Nails, Glass, Sharp Objects and Household Garbage." THE RULES are "Must show proof of Mobile County residency. NO businesses allowed. NO dump trailers allowed. NO hazardous waste accepted. One load per household. All drivers are required to unload their vehicle. Participation in the Clean Sweep event is voluntary." Eligibility is county-wide with proof of Mobile County residency, so a Prichard, Saraland, Satsuma, Semmes or Chickasaw household qualifies as much as a city of Mobile one. Source Not confirmed: A mattress is named in neither list. It is not among the "Household items" that are spelled out, and it is not among the non-acceptable items either, so whether a Clean Sweep roll-off will take one cannot be established from the county's own page. Not confirmed: No dates and no locations are published - the page says only "LOOK FOR AN 'OPERATION CLEAN SWEEP' NEAR YOU" - so a reader cannot find out when the next event is without calling. Not confirmed: No cost is stated anywhere on the page, so it cannot be recorded as free even though the program reads as a free service.
- Not an option: The Mobile County Recycling Center takes no mattresses. It is the county's own recycling facility - "owned by the Mobile County Commission and operated by Goodwill Gulf Coast since 2014" - at "7450 Hitt Road Mobile, AL 36695", (251) 459-8426, open "Monday - Saturday: 7:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m." and "Sunday: 10:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m." Its published accepted-items list is "Paper, Paperboard, Cardboard, Plastic #1, Plastic #2, Plastic #3-7, Glass, Aluminum, Steel, Plastic bags, Clothing, Flat Screen TVs/Monitors, Electronics (computers, printers, etc.), Small Appliances" and its not-accepted list is "Styrofoam, Food Contaminated Items, Wax-Coated Packaging, Light Bulbs/Fluorescent Tubes, Batteries of Any Kind, Yard Waste, Scrap Metal, Tires, Hazardous Materials, Paint Cans/Chemicals, Compressed Air Tanks (Propane), Motor Oil, Construction Materials, PVC Pipes, Large Appliances, Box TVs/Monitors (CRTs), Medical Waste, Anything that previously contained hazardous materials". Bedding of any kind is absent from the accepted list, which is a closed list of household recyclables: the center is not a mattress drop-off and a reader should not drive there with one. It is the closest thing Mobile County operates to a recycling facility, and it recycles no mattresses. Source Not confirmed: Mattresses are not named in the not-accepted list either, so the refusal rests on their absence from a closed accepted list rather than on an explicit exclusion.

What to check before you go
- Say if the mattress is wet, stained, or has any sign of pests — that is the usual reason one is turned away.
- Ask what the total will be. Box springs, stairs, and extra items are often charged separately.
- Check you qualify. Many sites serve only residents of their own city or county.
