Junk Removal in Harvest, AL
West of Meridianville, Harvest follows different county rules from its neighbors. Junk removal for Harvest homes and businesses, with a free estimate before any work starts.
A Railroad Town That Keeps Rebuilding
Harvest grew around a rail line built south from Fayetteville, Tennessee, between Capshaw and Toney. When the railroad abandoned it in 1929, the roadbed was handed to the county and became the road still called Old Railroad Bed Road. The 2020 Census counted 5,893 residents.
Harvest is also known for how often it has rebuilt. Two F5 tornadoes struck within half an hour of each other in the 1974 Super Outbreak, the Anderson Hills subdivision was hit in 1995 and again in 2011, and another tornado followed in March 2012.
Harvest Is in District 4
Unlike its neighbors, Harvest is served by the County Commission District 4 office on Highway 53. These rules come from the District 4 large debris page.
Large items go to the road by 6 a.m. at the start of your scheduled week, once a month.
A hauler carries items out from inside on a day you pick.
About one standard pickup-bed per house; extra carries a $50 service charge plus disposal fees.
A hauled load is priced up front by volume, weight and access.
No stumps, dirt, tires, paint, TVs, computers, glass, shingles, insulation, sheetrock, concrete, bricks or rocks.
TVs and computers can go in a hauled load. Paint and chemicals cannot.
No debris generated by contractors.
Leftovers from hired work can be hauled after the contractor's own cleanup.
The Highway 53 Drop-Off
District 4 lets residents who miss their week, or want items gone early, bring large debris to the district office at 6084 Highway 53. You sign in at the office and place items in a large concrete pit that is cleaned out daily. The office keeps weekday hours, so check the county page before you load up.
It works well if you have a truck and a few pieces. For a full garage, a heavy appliance, a second-floor room or a property you are clearing for sale, a hauled load is usually simpler.
What Harvest Jobs Look Like
Most Harvest work is household: garages, spare rooms, worn-out furniture and appliances, and move-outs. Rural lots around Harvest also bring sheds and outbuildings to clear.
After a Storm
Storm cleanup in Harvest splits into two jobs. Downed trees and large limbs are work for a tree service, and District 4 says debris generated by hired professionals, including tree disposal, cannot be put out for county collection. The tree service removes its own debris.
The second job is inside: water-soaked carpet, ruined furniture, damaged appliances and the contents of a flooded garage or shed. Those can go in a hauled load once it is safe to enter. Photos help with the estimate, and so does a note about any mold, since the EPA mold guidance recommends handling moldy materials with care.
