Solid Waste

The Limestone County Solid Waste Department provides Automated Solid Waste Collection Service for the residents of unincorporated Limestone County only. The residential collection service is established upon application for utility services with Athens Utilities. Monthly billing for residential garbage service is included on the residential electric bill.

All residential customer routes for unincorporated Limestone County will be serviced weekly, including customers who infrequently have garbage for collection. Any deviation from normal collection days due to holidays are posted on this page, and will appear in the local newspaper, local news websites, and social media pages.

Furniture, appliances, bulk, items, leaves, limbs, yard waste, and landscaping/construction debris are not collected in the unincorporated areas of Limestone County. It is the responsibility of the property owner to dispose of all bulk items. Curbside garbage pickup is for residential household garbage only.
