Bulk Item Collection Program

The City offers residents a bulk item curbside pickup service for a nominal fee.  This service includes the collection of items like yard waste, furniture, mattresses, and other household items that do not fit into a barrel.

Bulk Item Disposal DO's

• DO place bulky items at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on your scheduled collection day.
• DO place light weight items such as grass, palm tree skins, bark, twigs, wood pieces and other small items in plastic bags or small boxes.
• DO place cactus in small cardboard boxes.  This will protect our crews as they handle this material.
• DO cut items such as tree branches, wood, and carpet and tie them into bundles not to exceed 24" in diameter, 48" in length, or 60 pounds in weight.
• DO put out furniture as is for collection, such as tables, chairs, and couches.

Bulk Item Disposal DON'TS

• DO NOT place your items out for collection before 6:00 p.m. the day prior to your scheduled collection day.
• DO NOT put dirt, rock, gravel, cement, shingles, bricks, blocks, oil, paint, batteries, or any hazardous materials out for collection.  City crews will not collect these items.
• DO NOT use bulk item service to dispose of cardboard boxes.  Cardboard can be recycled.  Please use your blue recycling barrel (for residents with curbside collection service) or call the City of Mesa Recycling Hotline at (480) 644-2222 to locate the nearest cardboard recycling site.
• The City of Mesa does not collect used tires.  If you have automobile tires that you need to discard, bring them to our Household Hazardous Waste Collection events or contact the Maricopa County Solid Waste office at (602) 506-7060 for the nearest drop-off location.
