Recycling in Phoenix, Arizona
Phoenix runs curbside recycling through its blue container, collected weekly by the city's Public Works Department on the same day as your garbage but on separate trucks to avoid contamination. Everything gets sorted at a city-owned Materials Recovery Facility next to the transfer stations, where machines separate glass, paper, metal, cardboard, and plastic. Unlike a lot of desert cities that dropped glass, Phoenix still takes glass bottles and jars curbside. Residents can also self-haul to two city transfer stations and schedule free at-home pickups for bulk items and household hazardous waste.
Frequently Asked Questions
What goes in the Phoenix blue recycling container?
Phoenix accepts flattened cardboard, cereal and food boxes, office paper, junk mail, magazines, newspaper, paper bags, empty milk and juice cartons, and clean pizza boxes. On plastics, it takes hard plastic bottles (leave caps on), cups, jars, jugs, tubs, lids, and clamshells (no foam). Metals include aluminum cans, clean foil balled to softball size, and steel and tin cans. Glass bottles and jars are accepted with lids off. Everything must be empty, clean of food and grease, and placed loose, not bagged.
Is glass recycled curbside in Phoenix?
Yes. Phoenix accepts glass bottles and jars in the curbside blue container, with the lids removed. This sets it apart from many other Arizona and desert cities that have stopped taking glass at the curb. The glass is sorted at the city's Materials Recovery Facility along with paper, metal, cardboard, and plastic.
What is NOT accepted in Phoenix curbside recycling?
Keep out plastic bags and soft plastics (return those to a grocery or retail store), polystyrene and foam, food scraps and yard waste, paper towels and napkins, electronics, batteries, and light bulbs. Anything smaller than 2.5 inches in diameter cannot be sorted. Large scrap metal and car parts should go to a scrap yard, not the blue container. Do not bag your recyclables.
Where can I drop off or dump waste in Phoenix?
Phoenix owns two transfer stations. The North Gateway Transfer Station is at 30205 N. Black Canyon Hwy., 85085, about a half mile northeast of the Dixileta Drive exit (exit 220). The 27th Avenue Transfer Station is at 3060 S. 27th Ave., 85009, south of Lower Buckeye Road. Both are open Monday through Friday 5:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., closed Sunday. All loads must be secured; an unsecured load carries a $20 penalty.
How do I get rid of electronics, batteries, and hazardous waste in Phoenix?
Phoenix solid waste customers can schedule a free at-home Household Hazardous Waste collection through the city, which handles paints, chemicals, and similar materials. Never put chemicals or batteries in your trash or recycling. For electronics and batteries, the city points residents to Westech Recyclers, a local Zero Waste Business that accepts computers, phones, TVs, printers, laptops, and batteries.
Phoenix Recycling Tips
- •Set your blue container out by 5:30 a.m. on collection day and keep trash and recycling containers at least 4 feet apart so the trucks can service them.
- •Place recyclables loose in the bin. Bagged recyclables and plastic bags are not accepted and can contaminate the whole load; return plastic bags to a grocery or retail drop-off instead.
- •Glass bottles and jars go in the curbside container with the lids off, which is worth remembering since many nearby desert cities no longer take glass at all.
- •Bulk trash is now by appointment in Phoenix rather than a fixed quarterly pickup. Schedule online or at 602-262-6251, and do not set your pile out more than 7 days ahead or you risk a code violation.
- •In the summer heat, rinse containers and let them dry before recycling so leftover food and liquids do not turn the bin into a smell-and-pest problem before pickup.
