Trash & Recycling Collection Days Are Changing
Beginning November 01, 2021, most Scottsdale trash and recycling residential customers will have a new pick-up day. Scottsdale will now pick up recycling and trash five days a week. To achieve this about 95 percent of Scottsdale residents will have a change to trash and/or recycling curbside days. Learn more
Transition from Alley to Curbside pickup
The City of Scottsdale is discontinuing alley trash collection from most Scottsdale homes and moving to curbside service. This transition will begin in January 2021 and take about four years to complete. Learn more

Hazardous Waste and Garbage Trucks Just Don’t Mix
Disposal of incompatible items such as, gasoline, pesticides, bleach, ammonia, and other household cleaners into a recycling container, trash container, or Brush/Bulk pile can cause a reaction when mixed with other solid waste material in a garbage truck.
Read the warning labels of items you are throwing away. Phrases such as: Flammable, Corrosive, Oxidizer and Combustible are warnings that these items need special attention for disposal.
A “Hot Load” is a load of material that catches fire, smolders, spontaneously combusts, or becomes toxic because of incompatible waste mixing inside a garbage truck. Hot loads can potentially jeopardize the health and safety of the driver of the garbage truck, as well as the public.
The City of Scottsdale Solid Waste Services asks that you know before you throw.
