Booking a city pickup
Every bulk pickup. It is a paid, scheduled service for Mesa Solid Waste customers and nothing is collected without a request.
- How many items
- A load is about 4 ft by 8 ft by 4 ft, and four loads is the maximum collected on one scheduled pickup.
- How to book
- Request it online or call 480-644-6789 (Monday to Thursday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday to 5 p.m.). Cancelling or rescheduling less than one business day ahead brings a $31.00 trip charge, and any past-due balance on the account has to be cleared before a pickup can be booked.
- What it costs
- From $31.00 a load for Mesa trash and recycling customers, and from $39.59 a load for everyone else.
- Good to know
- Items go at the end of the driveway, out after 6 p.m. the night before and no later than 6 a.m. on the collection day. If the crew arrives to nothing, or items are not bundled, boxed or bagged as required, a $31.00 trip charge is added — and a load with prohibited material mixed into it can be left behind entirely. The accepted list runs to furniture, mattresses, bed frames and box springs, toilets, one large TV or a few small ones, bundled carpet and branches, exercise machines, lawn mowers without gasoline and grills without propane. Not taken: appliances, which have their own recycling programme; construction and remodelling material; hazardous waste; liquids; tires; and any bundle or single item over 60 pounds.
Or have someone take it
City routes are cheap but slow, and they all assume you can get the item to the curb yourself. If it is upstairs, if it is heavy, or if you need it gone this week, a local pro is the faster answer.
