Garbage Service

All household garbage must be bagged and placed in a City of Daphne issued garbage cart with a tight fitting lid suitable to protect the contents from insects, animals and water. The container should not be more than 96 gallons or less than 64 gallons, 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).

Garbage Pickup Times

Be sure that all garbage is placed on the curbside before 7am on your day of service. Time of pick-up can vary slightly and only by placing garbage curbside before the route begins can your pick up be assured.

Trash & Yard Debris Service

Please keep in mind that our Trash/Yard Debris Ordinance clearly states that each City of Daphne household is allowed 15 cubic feet of trash/yard debris per week. Excessive trash charges begin at $60 and progressively increase on the volume of overage.
