You are personally invited to the unveiling of Exhibit at Leeds Train Depot

Grand Opening Program

Saturday, August 2 | 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Location: Historic Leeds Depot

  • 10:00 – 10:30 a.m. – Opening Program
  • 10:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. – Exhibit Open for Viewing

Come explore the new exhibit, meet historians and community partners, and celebrate the continued commitment to historical preservation in Leeds.

These events celebrate not only the legacy of Birmingham’s great train station, but also the power of partnership—between the State of Alabama, the City of Leeds, and the Leeds Historical Society—to “preserve the cornerstones of our past” and inspire future generations.

We hope you’ll join us for one or both of these historic events. Your presence will make the celebration complete!

Keeping Leeds Beautiful – Bulk Waste Update | 

Our Public Works team is working hard to clean up our city after all the recent storms! 🌳 With everyone tidying up their yards, there’s been a BIG increase in bulk waste. To make sure every neighborhood gets serviced, we must adhere to the 3 cubic yard limit on bulk waste pickups. If your entire pile wasn’t collected, it may be because it was over the 3 cubic yard limit. This rule helps us complete routes quickly and fairly for everyone. 📌 Learn more about bulk waste pickup: ➡️ https://leedsalabama.gov/227/Recycling-Bulk-Waste 📌 View the Bulk Waste Route Map: ➡️ https://lis.maps.arcgis.com/.../instant/lookup/index.html... 📌 Tree & Limb Pickup Policy: ➡️ https://leedsalabama.gov/232/Trash-Limb-Pickup 📌 Bulk Waste Policy PDF: ➡️ https://leedsalabama.gov/.../458/Leeds-Bulk-Waste-Policy-PDF ✅ Thank you for your understanding as we work together to keep Leeds clean and beautiful for everyone! 💚City of Leeds, AL.
