City of Robertsdale non-household garbage pickup, priced by the load plus landfill charges
Sanitation Rate G is "Available to consumers in all areas served by the City of Robertsdale, and requires participation by residents within the City limits," and is "Applicable for service to single residents and individual family apartments. Service will not be shared with others." Residential service is $22.50 a month inside the city limits; a small business pays $34.50 under Rate C. Requests go to Public Works at 251-947-8950 (7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.) or 251-947-2222 after hours.
Conditions and source
The weekly cart collection is for household garbage only; the adopted rate manual prices everything else as "pickup service of non-household garbage": Trash full load $60.00, half load $30.00, appliances $25.00 each, tires $15.00 each, paint $5.00 a gallon or $25.00 for five gallons - all marked "*Plus, landfill charges", which the manual never quantifies. A mattress is not named, so it falls to the per-load trash price rather than the per-item appliance price. Nothing but household garbage may go in the cart: no yard waste, construction, remodelling, metal or demolition debris, no concrete, dirt, rocks, sod, sand, plaster, hot ashes, tires, automobile parts or batteries, chemicals, flammables, liquid paint, motor oil, cooking oil or dead animals; "Construction or contractor debris will not be picked up." Containers go out by 6:30 a.m. on the collection day, two feet from the curb with the handle facing away, three feet clear of trees, mailboxes, cars and utility lines, and must be off the curb by 7:00 P.M.: "Under no circumstances are containers to be left out overnight." The code's only pricing provision, Sec. 9-2(b), is "The charge for pickup service shall be as prescribed from time to time by the council."
- $25 — Robertsdale Utility Rates & Policy Manual, Sanitation Miscellaneous Charges: "Appliances $25.00 ea.", footnoted "*Plus, landfill charges". This per-item price covers appliances only; the manual gives no per-item price for furniture or a mattress.
- $30 — Robertsdale Utility Rates & Policy Manual, Sanitation Miscellaneous Charges: "Half Load $30.00", footnoted "*Plus, landfill charges". The manual does not say what volume divides a half load from a full one.
- $60 — Robertsdale Utility Rates & Policy Manual, Sanitation Miscellaneous Charges, "effective for pickup service of non-household garbage": "Trash*(non-household garbage) Full Load $60.00", footnoted "*Plus, landfill charges", which the manual never states. A mattress is not separately named and so falls under this line.
Not confirmed: a mattress is not named in the miscellaneous charges, so whether one is a half load or a full load is not published
Not confirmed: the "*Plus, landfill charges" footnote is never quantified, so the total a resident pays cannot be worked out from any adopted document
