The Street Department is responsible for loose leaf pick up, the maintenance of City ditches, right-of-ways, streets, sidewalks, and storm drains. In addition, this division further oversees the operation of the City’s Paint & Sign Shop, and Tree Trimming teams.

Paint & Sign Shop: paints appropriate markings on streets, curbs, and City parking lots, supports traffic sign regulation, and maintains/installs all street signs.

Tree Trimming: is responsible for routine tree trimming and the removal of trees located on the right-of-ways, within the City’s parks, and upon other City property.

Loose Leafs: Note that bagged leaves are now collected by 121 Disposal as part of your bulk pick-up pile. However, the City of Anniston Street Department continues to collect loose leaf piles. To ensure our team can efficiently collect your loose leaves, please follow the guidelines below: (1) Place loose leaves at the edge of your yard—not in the gutter. Leaves placed in the gutter can create drainage issues, and leaves placed too far from the curb cannot be reached by the truck. (2) Create one consolidated pile. A single, well-formed pile allows crews to collect leaves more quickly and safely. (3) Keep materials separate. Loose leaves should be in their own pile. Brush, limbs, or household garbage placed on top of leaves prevents the leaf truck from properly accessing them.
