Mesa bulk trash pickup: schedule, rules & how to schedule
Mesa offers scheduled curbside pickup of bulky items for a fee. You must book it in advance, and your account cannot be past due. Refrigerators, stoves and washers go through a separate Appliance Recycling Program, not this bulk service.
By appointment
How pickup works
| Type | Paid, scheduled pickup |
| Schedule | Submit the online Bulk Item Pick-up Request or call 480-644-6789 (Monday–Thursday 7 a.m.–6 p.m., Friday 7 a.m.–5 p.m.). Staff will contact you. Cancel or reschedule at least one business day ahead or a $31 trip charge can apply. |
| Limits | A load is about 4 feet × 8 feet × 4 feet. Maximum of 4 loads per scheduled pickup. Bundled or single items over 60 pounds may be ineligible. |
| Cost | Starting at $31.00 per load for Mesa trash and recycling customers, and starting at $39.59 per load for non-Mesa customers. A $31 trip charge can apply if you cancel late, if items are not at the curb, if they are not prepared correctly, or if prohibited items are mixed in (the whole load may be left). |
| Who is eligible | Current Mesa Solid Waste customers (account must be paid up). Residents in an HOA or multi-unit community may need to contact the property manager. Non-Mesa customers can book at the higher rate. |
| How to set items out | At the end of the driveway, not blocking the sidewalk, after 6 p.m. the night before and no later than 6 a.m. on the scheduled day. Bundle branches and carpet to no more than 24 inches across, 48 inches long, or 60 pounds. Bag or box small debris and cacti. |
