Trash & Recycling

Trash and Recycling Reminder

Every week, Grayhawk residents roll out their trash and recycle cans to the street to be picked up by the City of Scottsdale garbage collectors. But did you know that you could be leaving your bin out in the wrong spot and breaking the law?

Many residents rely on wheelchairs to get around. Unfortunately, they sometimes run into trash and recycle bins that make it impossible to get through the neighborhood on the sidewalks. Those obstacles force anyone with a wheelchair, stroller, etc. to go into the street, which pose an obvious threat to their safety. Often times, even those simply walking down the sidewalk face the same problem. So while you may never have considered the importance of your trash and recycle bin placement, it has become a safety issue for many of our neighbors.

Please observe the City of Scottsdale guidelines regarding trash/recycle collection as outlined below:

• Place your container on the street with wheels against the curb by 5:00 a.m. on collection days and remove it the same day

• Keep your container at least four feet from parked cars, mailboxes and other obstacles that may prevent city crews from picking it up • Don’t overfill your container – the lid must close per

Maricopa County Health Department standards • If your city-owned container needs repair, please call 480-312-5600 or email Scottsdale Solid Waste
