Big Changes to Bulk Trash Collection in Phoenix!

Heads up, neighbors! The City of Phoenix is revamping how bulk trash collection works starting September 30th, 2024.Here's the scoop:

  • Out with the old: Gone are the days of waiting for your designated quarterly bulk trash pick-up.

  • In with the new: Introducing appointment-based bulk trash collection! You'll be able to schedule your own bulk trash pick-up online, giving you more control over when those unwanted items disappear.

  • Benefits:

    • Convenience: Schedule a pick-up at your own pace, no more waiting for specific dates.

    • Flexibility: Get rid of bulk trash when it's convenient for you, not according to a pre-set schedule.

Here's how it works:

  • The City will provide an online portal (details to come!) where you can schedule your bulk trash pick-up.

  • You'll be able to choose a date that works for you, based on available collection slots in your area.

  • Once scheduled, you'll receive confirmation and instructions on placing your bulk trash at the curb for pick-up (within a designated timeframe).

Remember:

  • Bulk trash collection will still have limitations on quantity (up to 10 cubic yards) and accepted items (typically furniture, appliances, yard waste).

  • For details and updates, visit the Phoenix Public Works Department website at https://www.phoenix.gov/publicworks or keep an eye out for further information from our neighborhood association.

Let's make the switch to appointment-based bulk trash collection a smooth one! If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to the neighborhood association or the City of Phoenix Public Works Department.
