City collection Furniture is not named item by item, so a couch or a table travels either inside the oversized material the bulk trash events take or on a hauler pickup priced by volume. No furniture price is published. Confirm whether the piece is taken at the spring or fall bulk trash event for the participation fee or through the hauler pickup, where the charge depends on the volume and the size of the item.
City collection A mattress is named among the large-sized items the city's bulk trash events take, and outside those event weeks the route runs through the hauler pickup at a charge that depends on the volume. No mattress price or per piece limit is published. The bulk trash event carries a minimal participation fee and the hauler pickup is priced by volume and item size, so confirm what a mattress costs on whichever route applies before the piece goes out.
City collection No El Mirage collection route names an appliance among what it takes, so an appliance has to be confirmed with the hauler, which handles large items on request at an additional charge. The city publishes no appliance price and gives an appliance no collection route: the sanitation page names none, and the bulk trash page names a non-working refrigerator only as something a resident might give away. Confirm with the hauler whether the appliance is collected as a large item, what it costs, and whether a refrigerant unit has to be emptied or tagged first.
City collection City barrels are collected once a week with trash and recycling on the same day, and the city is split at El Mirage Road so that the east side is collected on Mondays and the west side on Thursdays. El Mirage bills solid waste service through the city rather than publishing a rate on these pages, so confirm what applies to the address with City Customer Service or the hauler before changing barrel sizes. There is no published per pickup price for the weekly collection.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
El Mirage collects curbside trash and recycling on the same day each week through Parks & Sons of Sun City, with the city split at El Mirage Road: the east side on Mondays and the west side on Thursdays. Barrels belong to the city, everything inside them has to be bagged and tied, and the lid has to close, because barrel contents that protrude more than a foot or sit outside the barrel are not collected. Large items move on two city routes rather than with the weekly barrel: the city hosts a bulk trash collection event each spring and each fall for mattresses, landscape trimmings and other oversized material at a minimal participation fee, and the hauler also picks up excessive trash and large items by arrangement for an additional charge that depends on the volume. Construction and remodeling debris, dirt, rocks, cement and roofing shingles are refused at the curb and have to be arranged separately with the hauler, while motor oil, tires, car batteries, paint and chemicals are refused as hazardous and go through the hazardous waste route instead. Once a year the city runs a free household hazardous waste pickup for residents who receive city solid waste service, registered in advance, taking paint, solvents, batteries, light bulbs, lawn chemicals and similar labeled household products from the front door or garage.
City barrels are collected once a week with trash and recycling on the same day, and the city is split at El Mirage Road so that the east side is collected on Mondays and the west side on Thursdays.
City cost & eligibility
El Mirage bills solid waste service through the city rather than publishing a rate on these pages, so confirm what applies to the address with City Customer Service or the hauler before changing barrel sizes. There is no published per pickup price for the weekly collection.
When & how
Put the city barrels at the curb by 5:30 a.m. on the collection day, because trucks start then: Mondays for the east side of El Mirage Road and Thursdays for the west side, with trash and recycling on the same day.
Get it ready
Bag and tie everything before it goes in the barrel, keep the lid closed, and keep the barrel contents from protruding more than a foot beyond the rim, because an overfilled barrel is not serviced and trash left outside the barrel is not collected at all. Face the barrel front toward the street, give the automated arm at least four feet of clearance from vehicles, fences and mailboxes, and space two or more barrels at least three feet apart.
The city hosts two bulk trash collection events each year, one in spring and one in fall, where residential solid waste customers can put out large-sized trash such as mattresses, landscape trimmings and other oversized waste for a minimal participation fee.
City cost & eligibility
The city describes a minimal participation fee for the bulk trash events without publishing the amount or the volume limit, so confirm the current fee and what the event accepts with City Customer Service or the hauler before the event week.
When & how
Events run once in the spring and once in the fall on published dates, so watch for the event announcement and set material out for the scheduled week rather than expecting a standing monthly collection.
Get it ready
Sort usable items first, because the city asks residents to donate or give away anything still in good condition instead of sending it to the landfill. Keep construction debris, dirt, rocks, cement, roofing shingles and hazardous material out of the event pile, since those streams have their own routes.
Material that will not fit in the barrel, or an excessive amount of trash, can be picked up by the hauler on request, with an additional charge that depends on the volume and the size of the items.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no price for the arrangement and states only that the charge depends on volume and item size, so call the hauler or City Customer Service to price the load before it is set out.
When & how
Call the hauler's office during business hours to arrange the pickup, then set the material out as directed for the agreed day.
Get it ready
Describe the load accurately when the pickup is booked, since the price depends on volume and on how large the pieces are, and keep hazardous material, tires, construction debris and dirt out of the pile because those are refused outside their own routes.
A mattress is named among the large-sized items the city's bulk trash events take, and outside those event weeks the route runs through the hauler pickup at a charge that depends on the volume.
City cost & eligibility
No mattress price or per piece limit is published. The bulk trash event carries a minimal participation fee and the hauler pickup is priced by volume and item size, so confirm what a mattress costs on whichever route applies before the piece goes out.
When & how
Use the spring or fall bulk trash event on its published date, or call the hauler to arrange a pickup outside the event weeks.
Get it ready
Keep the bedding dry and wrapped so it can be handled, keep it out of the barrel, and ask whether a mattress and box spring count as separate pieces when the route is arranged.
Furniture is not named item by item, so a couch or a table travels either inside the oversized material the bulk trash events take or on a hauler pickup priced by volume.
City cost & eligibility
No furniture price is published. Confirm whether the piece is taken at the spring or fall bulk trash event for the participation fee or through the hauler pickup, where the charge depends on the volume and the size of the item.
When & how
Use the bulk trash event week or call the hauler to arrange the pickup, and set the piece out only for the day that is agreed.
Get it ready
Empty drawers, remove anything you are keeping, and keep the piece whole and dry enough for two people to lift. Anything usable should be offered for donation first, which the city encourages, and keep construction debris and hazardous material out of the same pile.
Refrigerators, air conditioners and other appliances
Special rules apply
No El Mirage collection route names an appliance among what it takes, so an appliance has to be confirmed with the hauler, which handles large items on request at an additional charge.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no appliance price and gives an appliance no collection route: the sanitation page names none, and the bulk trash page names a non-working refrigerator only as something a resident might give away. Confirm with the hauler whether the appliance is collected as a large item, what it costs, and whether a refrigerant unit has to be emptied or tagged first.
When & how
Call the hauler first, and either add the appliance to a bulk trash event load or book the large item pickup on the agreed day.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and secure the doors, keep the appliance out of the barrel, and ask about the refrigerant requirement before the unit leaves the property, because a cooling appliance that still holds refrigerant often needs service first.
Construction and remodeling debris, dirt, rocks, cement and roofing shingles cannot go in the regular collection and are arranged separately with the hauler at an additional charge.
City cost & eligibility
The city states that special arrangements with the hauler carry additional charges without publishing a rate or a container size, so call the hauler for the volume, the container and the price before the material is moved.
When & how
Arrange the disposal with the hauler before the work starts, because the material cannot be placed out for the weekly collection.
Get it ready
Keep construction debris out of the barrel and away from the curbside pile, separate concrete, dirt and rock from mixed debris, and confirm whether the hauler wants the material bagged, bundled or in a container before the load leaves the property.
No El Mirage page names televisions or computers on any collection or hazardous waste list, so a screen has to be confirmed before it is set out.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no electronics route or price, and the hazardous waste list names batteries, light bulbs, paint and chemicals but no televisions or computers, so confirm with the hauler or the city whether a screen is taken as a large item and what it costs.
When & how
Ask the hauler or City Customer Service first, then use the agreed route rather than the barrel or the hazardous waste appointment.
Get it ready
Wipe the drive or reset the device, keep the screen whole, take the batteries out first because batteries are collected on the hazardous waste route, and never put electronics in the barrel where a contaminated load can be refused.
Exercise equipment is named on no El Mirage page, so a machine is confirmed with the hauler as a large item before it is moved.
City cost & eligibility
No exercise machine is named in the collection rules or on the bulk trash page and no price is published, so confirm acceptance and the charge with the hauler, whose large item pickups are priced by volume and item size.
When & how
Call the hauler to confirm the machine, then book the pickup or hold it for the next bulk trash event week.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it comes apart, take the weights out, and keep it out of the barrel, since nothing outside the barrel is collected and an oversized machine has to be handled as a large item.
El Mirage runs a free annual household hazardous waste pickup for residents who receive city solid waste service, registered in advance, taking paint, solvents, batteries, light bulbs, lawn chemicals and similar labeled household products.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Residents who receive City-provided solid waste services, with no commercial hazardous waste accepted. The service is free and runs by appointment during the published collection week, so confirm eligibility and the date with the Public Works Department.
When & how
Register when the city opens the appointment list, then place the material before 6 a.m. on the scheduled collection date during the collection week.
Get it ready
Place items by the front door or the garage door, keep them off the sidewalk and away from the roadway, and pack them clearly marked, not leaking and inside a box, because boxes are not returned. Accepted material includes antifreeze, car batteries, motor oil, gasoline and other fuels, brake and transmission fluid, degreasers up to the published volume, compact fluorescent bulbs and button or rechargeable batteries, oil paint, thinners, solvents, cleaners, adhesives, pesticides, fertilizers and other lawn chemicals, pool chemicals, fire extinguishers, gas cylinders, stain, varnish and turpentine.
Bag and tie all trash before it goes in the city barrel, close the lid, and keep the contents from protruding more than a foot past the rim so the barrel is not left unserviced. Set the barrel at the curb by 5:30 a.m. facing the street, leave about four feet of clearance from vehicles, fences and mailboxes for the automated arm, and space two or more barrels at least three feet apart. Nothing outside the barrel is collected.
Before the spring or fall bulk trash event, separate anything still usable: the city asks residents to offer clothing, household items, toys, office and hobby items and larger pieces for donation or free pickup rather than sending them to the landfill, and several organizations in the area will collect larger donations. Keep construction debris, dirt, rocks, cement, roofing shingles and hazardous material out of the event pile.
Register for the annual household hazardous waste pickup when the city opens the list, then put the material by the front door or the garage door before 6 a.m. on the appointment date. Items have to be clearly marked, not leaking and packed in a box, boxes are not returned, and nothing goes on the sidewalk or near the roadway. The service is for residents who receive city solid waste service and commercial waste is refused.

Twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall.

How do I get rid of a mattress in El Mirage?+
Mattresses are named among the large-sized items the city's spring and fall bulk trash events take for a minimal participation fee, so the event week is the simplest route. Outside those weeks, call the hauler to arrange a large item pickup, which carries an additional charge that depends on the volume, and confirm the price first.Official guidance
Can a couch go out with the trash in El Mirage?+

How do I get rid of a refrigerator in El Mirage?+
Confirm it with the hauler. No city collection route names an appliance or a cooling unit, and the hauler collects large items on request for an additional charge that depends on the volume and size, so ask how the unit is handled, what it costs and whether the refrigerant has to be removed first.Official guidance
