Special Brush Pick-Up Notice!
Beginning Monday, October 7, Public Works will begin a city-wide sweep to collect all limbs, etc., left over from Hurricane Helene. They will begin with the Friday route and continue their efforts until the entire city has been covered. We are already in our Fall Brush Pick-Up schedule, with today’s route being Thursday. Public Works staff will work today and this week to complete the “normal” Thursday schedule. The Thursday route will also be included in the Special Brush Pick-Up beginning next week.

One-Stop Drop: Thanks to the Community

One Stop Drop 2021

The City of Montgomery and Environmental Advisory Commission thanks the community for their continued efforts in supporting recycling efforts. The One-Stop-Drop for Responsible Recycling and Document Destruction Day was held on Saturday, September 18. While it was a lighter event than in past years, we celebrate every time we divert items from going to the landfill!

By the numbers:

  • 165 Vehicles (2020 was 317, 2019 was 184, 2018 was 125)
  • Goodwill filled ½ of a truck
  • Collected approximately 100 gallons of paint for Matthew 25 Ministries
  • Habitat for Humanity Restore filled ½ of a truck.
  • Document Destruction shredded 4000 lbs of paper
  • Collected and filled a 6-yd dumpster with cardboard
  • Collected 221 pounds of alkaline batteries for recycling at Batteries Plus
  • Collected approximately 100 planter pots
  • School supplies and gently used coats and mittens were also donated to Operation Give Back.

We thank our participating partners: Goodwill, Habitat for Humanity Restore, Matthew 25 Ministries, and Operation Give Back for their help and charitable efforts.
