Avondale sits on the west side of the Phoenix metro, where everyday trash and recycling are city services and household hazardous waste is handled through twice-yearly drive-through collection events instead of a permanent drop-off. That schedule matters for paint, batteries, e-waste, and tires, because those items no longer have a standing local HHW counter. The Civic Center Complex on Coldwater Springs Boulevard is the usual event gate.
The city lists the next HHW Collection Event for November 21, 2026, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the Avondale Civic Center Complex. Enter from Coldwater Springs Boulevard. Events are typically held twice a year in spring and fall.
No. Events are first-come, first-served. Arrive early enough to finish before closing, because materials are not accepted after the event ends.
Avondale residents only. Bring a valid photo ID or a current utility bill that proves residency. Businesses and commercial waste are not accepted.
Accepted items include household batteries, rechargeable and lithium-ion batteries, vape pens, computers, laptops, tablets, phones, printers, monitors, televisions, and many small electronics with lithium-ion batteries. Stay in your vehicle while staff unload.
Passenger vehicle tires only, with rims removed beforehand, and a five-tire limit per vehicle. Large truck tires, off-road tires, and tires still on rims are not accepted.
Do not bring large appliances, medical waste, sharps, asbestos, radioactive materials, explosives, ammunition, commercial waste, 55-gallon drums, or ordinary trash and recycling. Call Public Works at 623-333-4400 with questions about borderline items.
