City of Mesa: Trash and Recycle Reminders

by UpClose Publications October 26, 2012
written by UpClose Publications October 26, 2012

To help ensure the safe and proper collection of your trash and recycle barrels, the City of Mesa asks you to please remember the following:

• Place the barrel out any time after 6 p.m. the night before, but no later than 6 a.m., on your scheduled collection day, including all holidays, to ensure service. Also, please remember to remove the barrel from the curb no later than 6 a.m. the following day.

• Place the barrel in the gutter with the handle of the barrel facing the house. To allow free and clear pedestrian access, please do not block sidewalk. *Placement exception: Only customers residing on streets with a 35 mph or higher speed limit should place their containers on the sidewalk.

• Avoid placing the barrel near objects, which may prevent collection (e.g.- vehicles, light poles, mailboxes, planters, walls, etc.).

• Do not park vehicles near or in front of barrels placed out for service.

• Do not overfill the barrel. The lid must be closed in order for the container to be serviced.

• Do not place items on the ground around the barrel or on top of the barrel itself.

• Do not use any containers other than City-provided barrels for garbage, green waste or recyclables.

• Do not let children play inside the barrels or near collection trucks.

Holiday Reminders

• The City of Mesa provides trash and recycle collection service on scheduled collection days, including all holidays.

• If you are planning to host a holiday get-together at your home, you can maximize the space in your black trash barrel by remembering to recycle acceptable items in your blue barrel.

• Choose to reuse. Don’t forget to use reusable shopping bags when going to the grocery store to purchase items for holiday gatherings. If you do use plastic bags, remember to recycle them at your local retailer.

Was your barrel not serviced?

A trash or recycle barrel may not have been serviced for a variety of reasons. Possible scenarios include that the container was blocked, it was unsafe to service, or may not have been placed out on time. To report a non-serviced barrel, please visit www.mesarecycles.org to submit an online form, or call City of Mesa Customer Service at (480) 644-2221. If calling during non-business hours, please follow prompts to leave a detailed voicemail message.

Upcoming event

Shred-A-Thon—The City of Mesa will host a document shredding event to assist Mesa residents with the safe and secure disposal of their personal documents. The event will be held from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Nov. 17, at the East Mesa Service Center, 6935 E. Decatur St.

Due to anticipated volume, material will be secured at the collection site, and transported to an off-site location at the conclusion of the event for destruction. On-site shredding will not be available. This event is open to Mesa residents only, and there is a five-box limit per household. Material will not be accepted from commercial or small businesses. For more information, visit www.mesarecycles.org, or call (480) 644-2221.

Remember…you’re never too young to start recycling!
