For your convenience, we have compiled a list of items that may be picked up by the City on the Trash Route for limbs and debris. Materials going to the landfill must be sorted into two categories. The City of Abbeville has to follow the State of Alabama rules for debris going to the Henry County Landfill. Failure to comply with these rules can mean fines of $15,000 or more. The Henry County Landfill is a Construction and Debris landfill only.  No garbage, paper trash, or rubbish will be taken to this landfill.

Construction Debris: bricks, block, roofing materials, scrap tires, mortar, and demolition debris such as lumber and decking, porcelain toilets, sinks, tree limbs, brush, and leaves. CLEAN hard plastics are allowed in the landfill.  Empty plastic containers with no chemicals (paint, soaps, cleaning chemicals, etc.) are acceptable.  Mattresses, box springs, and furniture are also acceptable.

White Goods/Metal Goods - appliances such as stoves, washers, refrigerators, sheet metal, fencing, etc.

The Landfill cannot take hot water heaters, electronics, paint, paint cans, or batteries, large quanitites of sheet rock or treated lumber or creasote lumber.Please consider renting rolloff containers for disposal of these items.

If you have dirty, hard plastic such as buckets, electronics, paint cans, or similar items, they can be put out with your regular household garbage for pickup. Please remember that Construction & Debris items are picked up by the flat bed truck on the specific route you live on. These items must be separated from regular household garbage. Failure to separate them will result in the items not being picked up.

Household garbage is picked up weekly on your regular route. You also have the option of taking your trash/garbage directly to the Southeast Alabama Solid Waste Transfer Station located on Highway 431 North towards Eufaula.
