As part of our ongoing educational efforts, we offer a variety of materials and information to residents and school educators on trash collection and recycling topics.
Staff is available to visit 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. Presentations will be considered for groups of 15 or more. To request a speaker, please email us at waste.info@mesaaz.gov.
Mesa does not own its own landfill or recycling facility, so we are unable to accommodate these types of requests.
