Please keep in mind that our Trash Ordinance clearly states that each household is allowed fifteen(15)cubic feet of trash per week. Excessive trash charges begin at $50.00 and progressively increase on the volume of overage

GARBAGE

All household garbage must be bagged and placed in a standard container with a tight fitting lid suitable to protect the contents from insects, animals and water. The container should not be more than 32 gallons or less than 10, unless otherwise approved.

Do not use red garbage bags. Red is the universal color for medical waste, and medical waste is not collected by the City of Daphne.

Be sure that all garbage is placed on the curb side BEFORE 7a.m. Time of pick-up can sometimes be inconsistent and only by placing garbage out before the route begins can your pick up be assured.
