Education Materials

As part of our ongoing educational efforts, the Solid Waste Management Department offers a variety of materials and information to residents and school educators on trash collection and recycling topics.

In addition, staff is available to come out to your school or community group gathering to speak about the importance of recycling.  Presentations are typically 15-30 minutes in length and can be tailored to your specific group.

What about landfill and recycling facility tours?

The City of Mesa does not own its own landfill or recycling facility.  However, tours for both areas can be arranged directly through the Salt River Landfill.

Please feel free to click on any of the links below or call the City of Mesa Recycling Hotline at (480) 644-2222 for more information.
