Birmingham! In observance of Veterans Day, our offices will be closed on Friday, November 10.
Residents whose trash is typically collected on Friday should instead place their bins on the curb between 6:00 PM tonight and 6:00 AM tomorrow. Bins should be returned from the street within 24 hours.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and hope you have a safe, enjoyable holiday weekend. Remember to thank a veteran you know!
As we observe Homeless Youth Awareness Month this November, let's shine a light on some of the important organizations across our city dedicated to assisting young individuals in need.
From Jessie’s Place and Firehouse Ministries to YWCA Central Alabama and many more, Birmingham has a wealth of resources that can help you get back on your feet.
Together, we can make a difference.

As we come together today at the 16th Street Baptist Church, we honor the memory of four innocent young girls whose lives were taken too soon out of hate. We stand united to honor the countless individuals who stood up against hatred, racism, and injustice in Birmingham just 60 years ago.
As your City Councilor, I stand against injustice and hatred. A firm believer in the idea illustrated by Dr. Martin Luther King, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," I hope we can continue to draw inspiration from our shared history and work towards a more inclusive Birmingham.
In unity, we find hope. In remembrance, we find the determination to build a brighter future.
