Hoover Trash Pickup Schedule

This Hoover trash pickup schedule covers one of the more service-heavy setups we've covered: twice-weekly curbside collection, free to every home in the city, handled by contracted hauler AmWaste. The two weekly visits aren't identical, though - one is garbage and small bulk, the other is a mixed recyclables stream. Here's exactly how the Hoover garbage collection schedule breaks down for garbage and recycling, and where the holiday rule genuinely changes your week.

How often is trash picked up in Hoover?

The Hoover curbside collection schedule runs twice a week on one of two citywide schedules: Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday. The first pickup of your week is household garbage plus small bulk and brush; the second is a mixed recyclables stream that gets sorted afterward at RePower South rather than pre-sorted at the curb.

Service is provided free of charge to all homes within Hoover city limits - there's no separate monthly garbage bill from the city.

Find your exact pickup day

Every address on the Hoover trash collection calendar has its own route: it depends on your specific address, not one schedule for the whole city. The Hoover waste collection schedule search tool is the accurate source:

Bin placement rules

• Set all carts (trash and recycling) out by 6:30 AM on your collection day
• Keep lids closed
• Crews cannot cross the street for carts set out after the truck has passed - don't be late
• Bulk and brush from your own household only - not contractor debris

Hoover Trash Holiday Schedule

AmWaste doesn't run on six major holidays, and trash service shifts a day later for the rest of that week whenever one falls.

"Shifts one day later" means every remaining collection that week - garbage and recycling both - moves back a day, including bulky/brush pickups already on the list.

What goes in each bin

How much does garbage service cost in Hoover?

Nothing extra - garbage and recycling collection are provided free of charge to all homes within Hoover city limits, funded through the city rather than billed per household. That makes Hoover one of the few cities in this guide with no separate monthly sanitation fee at all.

Bulky, limb & brush pickup

Small bulk items and brush ride along with your regular garbage collection. For larger special collections, contact a My Hoover Connect representative at 205-739-7311 or submit a request online to be added to the list. One important rule: the debris has to be generated by the homeowner - if you hired a landscaper, tree service, roofer, or remodeling company, it's their responsibility to haul away whatever their crew leaves behind, not the city's.
