Info for Madison County Alabama
The Madison County Courthouse OPENS Tuesday.
Many Madison County Employees have been working in a effort to meet needs of citizens.
Non-jury court resumes Tuesday.
Jury trials have been canceled for the entire week of May 2. Those will be rescheduled.
The next Madison County Commission meeting is set for this Friday, May 6.
The Madison County TRAM (Transportation for Rural Areas of Madison County) buses will NOT run TUESDAY.
Household Garbage Collection - Please place container on cstreet on regularly scheduled day
Madison County Sanitation Department is collecting household garbage for both county residents and Madison City. City of Huntsville, as well.
PLEASE, all trucks are automated. Try to keep your garbage in the large container.
Crews are stopping and literally picking up extra bags. That is slowing down completion of routes so that all households can be serviced.
If you have more than what will fit in your container, there are special drop-off dumpsters at 107 Wholesale Avenue or in Madison at the city stadium.
Please continue to conserve both power and water. ALL Madison County water sources still running on generators. We hope to have some power to well later tonight.
ALS0 for those want to donate take usable items to 3223 Hi-Lo (Meridian Street, to Wholesale to Hi-LO-warehouse at end of block on your left)
GREAT need for paper products, paper towels, toilet tissue, plates, cups, napkins and toiletries.
NEW underwear or new clothes. (Too many people have cleaned out their closets with unusable clothing)
Churches with donation drop sites and businesses who may have over inventoried items are encouraged to bring their items to this central warehouse being used for collection, sorting and distribution.
Families in need can pick up items everyday from 8am to 6pm.
Items of donations can also be dropped off during those hours.
If you have any questions or needs call 211 for additional information.
If you want to volunteer or need debris removal in your yard from storm damage, contact United Way at 256-536-0745 from 9am to 3pm everyday.
The United Way realizes many families all over Madison County and Huntsville not necessarily in designated damaged areas, need assistance with removing downed trees from their yards and driveway.
Again, please call 256-536-0745 if you either need assistance or want to volunteer.
