Recycling in Mesa, Arizona

Mesa combines irrigated citrus-era neighborhoods, a busy downtown, and newer communities spreading toward the Superstition Mountains. The city's blue barrel program accepts a defined set of containers, including container glass, while hazardous materials, bulky loads, and appliances use separate resident services. Keeping those programs separate matters in a desert city where collection crews handle heavy and heat-exposed loads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can glass go in Mesa's blue recycling barrel?

Yes. Mesa accepts empty glass bottles and jars in the blue barrel. Do not add ceramics, mirrors, windows, light bulbs, drinking glasses, or other glass products that are not containers.

What belongs in Mesa's blue barrel?

Mesa accepts metal food and beverage cans, clean flattened cardboard, paperboard, mail, newspapers, magazines, office paper, glass bottles and jars, and specified plastic bottles, jugs, tubs, clamshells, and condiment containers. Items should be empty, clean, dry, and loose rather than bagged.

Who can use Mesa's household hazardous materials program?

Mesa's household hazardous materials program is for eligible city residents. Use it for accepted paint, chemicals, automotive products, and similar materials, and be ready to meet residency requirements rather than bringing business waste.

How do I arrange bulk-item pickup in Mesa?

Mesa offers scheduled bulk-item pickup as a paid service. Request service through the city before placing a load out, and review the current preparation and accepted-item rules so the pile can be collected safely.

Does Mesa collect old appliances with regular bulk waste?

Mesa has a separate appliance recycling service. Arrange the appropriate appliance service rather than assuming a refrigerator, freezer, or other large appliance belongs in a normal bulk pile.

Recycling tips for Mesa

  • •Follow Mesa's current blue-barrel list and ignore the recycling symbol when the container type is not specifically accepted.
  • •Empty bottles, jars, cans, and accepted plastic containers before putting them in the blue barrel.
  • •Use the resident household hazardous materials program for chemicals and automotive products, not either curbside barrel.
  • •Schedule and pay for bulk pickup before placing a pile out for collection.
  • •Book Mesa's separate appliance service for large appliances instead of adding them to recycling or an unscheduled bulk pile.
