Solid Waste

The Solid Waste Management Department offers a variety of programs and services for City of Mesa residential and commercial customers.  Throughout our pages, you will find helpful information on how you can properly dispose of your trash and recyclables.

  • Commercial collection services are available seven days a week including all holidays.
  • Residential collection services take place Monday through Saturday including all holidays. Barrels should be to the curb by 6 a.m. and removed by 6 a.m. the following day.
  • If your barrel or bin was missed during your regularly scheduled collection day, please contact us for rescheduling.  Messages left during non-business hours will be returned the following business day so please leave a daytime phone number.
Barrel Placement:
  • Each barrel is collected once a week.  Barrels need to be at the curb, with handles facing your house, by 6 a.m. on collection days and should be removed by 6 a.m. the following day. Suggested placement is as follows to allow pedestrian access:

     
  • PLACEMENT EXCEPTION: Customers residing on streets that have a 35 MPH or higher speed limit should place their containers on the sidewalk.
     
  • The City of Mesa provides refuse customers with a black barrel for refuse collection and a blue barrel for recyclable material as part of their standard trash service.  60- or 90-gallon barrel service is available.  Selecting the smaller size barrel will reduce monthly trash bill from $23.34 to $20.83 per month, generating a $2.51 monthly savings.

  • Green barrels, designated for green waste material, are available for an additional monthly fee.

  • If you are unsure of your collection days, please call Customer Service at (480) 644-2221 or view our Collection Schedule Map.

  • Extra blue barrels are provided free of charge and extra black barrels are available for an additional monthly fee.
     
  • If your barrel is in need of repair (i.e.- broken lid, wheel, etc.), please call us to place a service or replacement request at no charge.
