Mayor Randall L. Woodfin is announcing Birmingham will stage a Pride Where I Reside city-wide cleanup for Saturday, August 3. The day will be a workday for multiple city departments and divisions, including public works, code enforcement, and parks and recreation.
City staff and contractors involved in the workday will address overgrown lots, blighted properties, illegal dump sites and more.
Residents, organizations and businesses are encouraged to take time during Pride Where I Reside to clean up around their property, their streets, blocks and neighborhoods.
To encourage residents, businesses and organizations to do their part, the Department of Public Works will set-up additional roll-off dumpsters in each public works quadrant of the city to add convenience for individuals conducting their own cleanup.

—Ensley District, 1044 Avenue W
—Eastend District, 301 96th Street North

The city will extend business hours at the city’s Eastern Area Landfill at 2787 Alton Road from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on August 3.
Individuals must show a driver’s license proving they live in Jefferson County. There is no fee for residential disposal.
