Carts will replace the current 18-gallon bins with larger 95-gallon rolling carts with lids.

The current bin service is scheduled to end Wednesday, July 31. Residents must sign up by June 28 in order to receive a new cart and continue their free recycling service. If residents currently have their garbage picked up by the City of Huntsville or Madison County, they are eligible for the new program.
