The Tuscaloosa County Commission is sponsoring its annual Fall Clean-up on Saturday, October 31, 2026, offering residents a convenient way to dispose of unwanted household items without paying a disposal fee.

The countywide cleanup will run from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m., with 12 collection locations spread across Tuscaloosa County's four commission districts.

Waste Management, Inc. will provide large collection containers at each location, with staff available to assist residents. Whether it's old furniture, clutter from a storage room or items you've been meaning to throw away for months, the event offers an opportunity to clear some space before the holiday season.

However, there are some restrictions. Contractors are not permitted to use the service, and household or kitchen garbage and hazardous waste will not be accepted.

Residents can bring eligible items to any of the following collection sites:
