Junk Removal in Decatur, AL

A River City With Victorian Streets

Decatur sits on Wheeler Lake along the Tennessee River and is the seat of Morgan County. It was named for naval hero Stephen Decatur, at President Monroe's direction, according to its history. It counted 57,938 residents in 2020 and is home to the largest Victorian-era home district in Alabama, spread across neighborhoods such as Old Decatur and Albany. Industry along the river, including the Port of Decatur, keeps the city busy, and Point Mallard opened the first wave pool in the United States.

Big old houses, river-industry jobs and steady remodeling all mean plenty to clear out.

Decatur's Bulky Pickup

The City of Decatur collects bulky items with a loader truck, as its Solid Waste page explains:

• HowRequest through Decatur Direct or call Environmental Services at (256) 341-4740.
• WhenUnscheduled; pickup may take about two weeks and can come any day.
• AcceptedAll types of appliances and furniture, plus small amounts of homeowner repair debris.
• ExcludedContractor debris: the city states it will not pick it up, and contractors must haul their own.

When Hiring Makes More Sense

Two weeks is a long time to have a sofa on the curb, especially before a closing or a move. Hiring also makes sense for items still inside, for larger remodel debris, and for anything a contractor left behind.
