City collection Furniture is one of the city's own examples of an acceptable bulk item, and the disposal page and Transfer Station list both accept furniture as well. A piece that meets the appointment limits can go out with the free annual appointment, and anything heavier goes on the Transfer Station scale. The annual appointment collection is complimentary and the city publishes no per-item fee for a couch or a table. Furniture self-hauled to the Transfer Station is charged by weight on the solid waste rate with a minimum load charge on every load, so confirm the amount for the piece before you drive it over.
City collection The city answers the mattress question directly: mattresses are not recyclable and belong at the Transfer Station at 2800 Sundog Ranch Road, where the minimum load charge covers up to 300 pounds. A light mattress can also be offered to the annual appointment, but the appointment refuses anything over 50 pounds. $20 for solid waste tipping fee at the Transfer Station, billed at $125.00 per ton with a $20.00 minimum load charge that covers up to 300 pounds. Self-haul the mattress to the Sundog Ranch Road Transfer Station. The same piece can go out with the annual bulk appointment only if it meets the appointment item limit of 50 pounds.
City collection A refrigerator or similar unit is only accepted when a licensed professional has already evacuated the refrigerant, and the city asks for the removal invoice at the Transfer Station. The city publishes no curbside or appointment route for a refrigerant unit, so it never inherits the general appliance acceptance. The Transfer Station bills a refrigerant unit that carries the evacuation certificate at the solid waste rate of $125.00 per ton with a $20.00 minimum load charge covering up to 300 pounds. The disposal page describes the certificate as a professional CFC (refrigerant) removal invoice, so confirm the unit and the weight charge with the Solid Waste Division before loading it.
City collection Household garbage is collected weekly from a city container on a residential solid waste account. A single-family residence gets one 68 gallon trash container and one 68 gallon recycle container, and extra trash containers, animal proof containers and shared alley or multi-family service each carry their own monthly charge. Trash and recycling are billed through the city utility account rather than per pickup. The fee schedule lists residential solid waste service at $24.33 per month for the rate adopted January 1, 2026 and $31.00 per month from October 1, 2026, with an additional trash container at $13.00 and then $15.50 and a landfill closure charge of $0.50 per container per month, so confirm the amount that is current on your bill or with the Solid Waste Division.
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?
Prescott collects its own residential trash and recycling and owns the Sundog Ranch Road Transfer Station, which the county list also names as a city site. Trash and recycling are billed as a utility account rather than per pickup, and large items follow two routes: each residential trash customer gets one complimentary appointment-based bulk collection per calendar year, and everything the appointment refuses has to be self-hauled to the Transfer Station, where the charge is based on the weight of the load. The appointment refuses any single item over 50 pounds, so a heavy couch or a mattress set usually ends up on the weigh scale instead.
Household garbage is collected weekly from a city container on a residential solid waste account. A single-family residence gets one 68 gallon trash container and one 68 gallon recycle container, and extra trash containers, animal proof containers and shared alley or multi-family service each carry their own monthly charge.
City cost & eligibility
Trash and recycling are billed through the city utility account rather than per pickup. The fee schedule lists residential solid waste service at $24.33 per month for the rate adopted January 1, 2026 and $31.00 per month from October 1, 2026, with an additional trash container at $13.00 and then $15.50 and a landfill closure charge of $0.50 per container per month, so confirm the amount that is current on your bill or with the Solid Waste Division.
When & how
Trash and recycling go to the curb on the same weekday each week. Set the carts out by 6:00 a.m. on the collection day and bring them in within 24 hours. A holiday that falls on a collection day bumps the whole week one day later.
Get it ready
Bag and tie all garbage, including yard debris, grass and brush, and keep the lid able to close without overfilling. Put the wheeled cart at the curb or along the alley with the handle pointing toward the home, leave about three feet between carts and anything else, and keep hazardous waste out of the cart. The cart weight limit is 200 pounds.
Each residential trash customer qualifies for one complimentary bulk item collection per calendar year, scheduled by appointment instead of a fixed cleanup week. Commercial businesses and communities on shared dumpsters are not eligible for the program.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. One appointment per calendar year for a City of Prescott residential trash customer on an active solid waste account. Commercial businesses and communities on dumpsters are not eligible, and the city publishes no per-item appointment charge.
When & how
Register for an appointment first, then place the items at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on the appointment morning. The pile may not be out more than four business days before the appointment.
Get it ready
Bag, box, bundle and tie everything. No single item over 50 pounds is collected. Cut branches and limbs to four foot lengths and tie them, and leave any appliance holding refrigerant with the licensed professional's evacuation certificate. Tires, oil, propane tanks, automobile batteries, hazardous waste, concrete, blocks, brick, asphalt, stone and dirt are refused, and no commercial, contractor or demolition debris is accepted.
Furniture is one of the city's own examples of an acceptable bulk item, and the disposal page and Transfer Station list both accept furniture as well. A piece that meets the appointment limits can go out with the free annual appointment, and anything heavier goes on the Transfer Station scale.
City cost & eligibility
The annual appointment collection is complimentary and the city publishes no per-item fee for a couch or a table. Furniture self-hauled to the Transfer Station is charged by weight on the solid waste rate with a minimum load charge on every load, so confirm the amount for the piece before you drive it over.
When & how
For the appointment, put the piece at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on the appointment morning and not more than four business days early. For a self-haul, take the piece to the Transfer Station between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Get it ready
Remove cushions and loose parts that could blow out of a truck, bag and tie anything small, and keep the piece clear of the street and sidewalk before the appointment. Cover and secure a furniture load in a vehicle or trailer, because a load entering the Transfer Station has to be contained and covered.
The city answers the mattress question directly: mattresses are not recyclable and belong at the Transfer Station at 2800 Sundog Ranch Road, where the minimum load charge covers up to 300 pounds. A light mattress can also be offered to the annual appointment, but the appointment refuses anything over 50 pounds.
City cost & eligibility
$20 for solid waste tipping fee at the Transfer Station, billed at $125.00 per ton with a $20.00 minimum load charge that covers up to 300 pounds. Self-haul the mattress to the Sundog Ranch Road Transfer Station. The same piece can go out with the annual bulk appointment only if it meets the appointment item limit of 50 pounds.
When & how
Take the mattress to the Transfer Station between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, or set it at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on a bulk appointment day when it meets the appointment limits.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress out of the recycling container and out of the annual appointment pile if it is over 50 pounds. Bag the mattress or wrap it so it stays intact and does not blow out of a truck, and secure and cover the load before you drive into the Transfer Station.
Washers, dryers, stoves and similar appliances are recycled at the Transfer Station and are billed at the solid waste rate with the minimum load charge covering up to 300 pounds. Analog televisions are listed at the same rate.
City cost & eligibility
$20 for solid waste tipping fee at the Transfer Station, billed at $125.00 per ton with a $20.00 minimum load charge that covers up to 300 pounds. Self-haul the appliance to the Sundog Ranch Road Transfer Station. An appliance that has held refrigerant is a separate case and needs the licensed professional's evacuation certificate.
When & how
Take the appliance to the Transfer Station between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, or offer it to the annual bulk appointment when the piece meets the appointment limits.
Get it ready
Keep the appliance out of the trash cart and the recycling cart, empty and dry the drum on a washer, tape doors closed, and remove loose cords that could catch during handling. Secure, contain and cover the load before arrival, because the city code requires every load entering the Transfer Station to be secured.
A refrigerator or similar unit is only accepted when a licensed professional has already evacuated the refrigerant, and the city asks for the removal invoice at the Transfer Station. The city publishes no curbside or appointment route for a refrigerant unit, so it never inherits the general appliance acceptance.
City cost & eligibility
The Transfer Station bills a refrigerant unit that carries the evacuation certificate at the solid waste rate of $125.00 per ton with a $20.00 minimum load charge covering up to 300 pounds. The disposal page describes the certificate as a professional CFC (refrigerant) removal invoice, so confirm the unit and the weight charge with the Solid Waste Division before loading it.
When & how
Call the Solid Waste Division before move day. The unit can only be weighed in at the Transfer Station during open hours, and the evacuation invoice has to be ready before the unit arrives.
Get it ready
Do not put a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner in the trash cart, do not put it in the appointment pile, and do not put it in a roll-off container. Have the evacuation invoice with the unit, keep the doors secured for transport, and cover and contain the load.
Laptops without batteries, computer towers, VCRs, DVD players and cable boxes are recycled free at the Transfer Station. Every other electronic item on the city list is billed as trash instead, so the free group is narrower than the words electronic waste suggest.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free at the Transfer Station for a customer dropping a laptop without its battery, a tower, a VCR, a DVD player or a cable box. Televisions, monitors, phones, vacuums, microwaves, small appliances, keyboards, printers and stereos are billed as trash rather than accepted free.
When & how
Take the items to the Transfer Station between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. A mixed load is weighed, so the free items and the charged items are sorted separately at the booth.
Get it ready
Remove and keep the rechargeable battery from a laptop, because the battery does not travel with the free electronics. Keep electronics out of the green recycle cart and out of the appointment pile, and secure the items so nothing shifts in transit.
Flat panel televisions, CRT televisions, old monitors, phones, vacuums, microwaves, small appliances, keyboards, printers and stereos are charged as trash at the Transfer Station rather than handled as free electronics. They are still accepted, they are just billed by weight.
City cost & eligibility
$20 for solid waste tipping fee at the Transfer Station with a $20.00 minimum load charge covering up to 300 pounds, billed at $125.00 per ton. Self-haul to the Sundog Ranch Road Transfer Station. The city bills this group at the trash rate rather than including it in the free electronics list.
When & how
Take the load to the Transfer Station between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The load is weighed at the booth, so separating free electronics from charged electronics changes what you pay.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the recycling cart and out of the bulk appointment pile. Remove loose batteries, tape monitor doors and screens so they do not break in transit, and secure and cover the load because the city requires a contained load at the Transfer Station.
There is no free television route in Prescott. Flat panel and CRT sets are billed as trash, and an analog television is listed at the appliance rate, so every television goes to the Transfer Station scale and never into the recycling cart.
City cost & eligibility
$20 for solid waste tipping fee at the Transfer Station with a $20.00 minimum load charge covering up to 300 pounds, billed at $125.00 per ton. Self-haul the television to the Sundog Ranch Road Transfer Station. The city bills flat panel and CRT sets as trash, and lists an analog set at the same rate as an appliance.
When & how
Take the set to the Transfer Station between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Ask the booth staff to separate any free electronics in the same load so only the television is weighed as trash.
Get it ready
Keep the television out of the green recycle cart and out of the bulk appointment pile. Remove loose batteries and cables, protect the screen so it does not shatter in transport, and secure and cover the load before you arrive.
Commercial, contractor and demolition debris is refused in the annual bulk appointment, so a renovation load never goes to the curb. The Transfer Station accepts construction debris as a self-haul load billed by weight, and the city also rents roll-off containers for a remodel or a construction project.
City cost & eligibility
The free annual appointment does not take construction material. The Transfer Station bills a construction load at the solid waste rate of $125.00 per ton with a $20.00 minimum load charge, and a roll-off container adds a $123.00 set fee and a $246.00 pull fee each service, with a $125.00 minimum disposal charge for a 13 yard box and $375.00 for a 20, 30 or 40 yard box. Confirm the material and the container size with the Solid Waste Division.
When & how
Keep the material off the curb. Take a self-haul load to the Transfer Station between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, or arrange a roll-off container, which needs a site inspection before delivery and service at least once every 30 days.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of both curbside carts and out of the appointment pile. Secure, contain and cover a self-hauled load, keep the material level with the truck bed or trailer, and keep hazardous waste, tires and refrigerant appliances out of a roll-off container.
No city page names exercise equipment. A machine is not furniture, an appliance or yard debris, so it falls under the general appointment rules, and most machines exceed the 50 pound per-item limit that the appointment enforces, which sends the piece to the Transfer Station scale instead.
City cost & eligibility
A machine that meets the appointment limits can go out with the complimentary annual collection, and the city publishes no per-item fee for it. Anything heavier than the 50 pound appointment limit has to be self-hauled to the Transfer Station, where the solid waste rate and the minimum load charge apply. Confirm the piece and its weight before booking.
When & how
Confirm the machine first. If it fits the appointment, set it at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on the appointment day, and if it does not, take it to the Transfer Station between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Get it ready
Take off loose weights, straps and pedals so nothing falls off during handling, fold or lower the frame where the machine allows it, and keep the piece out of both curbside carts. Secure and cover the load if the machine is self-hauled.
Set the trash and recycling carts out by 6:00 a.m. on the collection day and bring them in within 24 hours. Bag and tie all garbage with the lid closed, keep recyclables loose in the recycle cart, put the wheeled cart at the curb or along the alley with the handle toward the home, and leave about three feet between carts and anything else so the truck can reach them.
Bag, box, bundle and tie the load, and keep every item at or under 50 pounds. The pile goes at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on the appointment morning and may not be out more than four business days before it. Cut branches and limbs to four foot lengths, and leave an appliance that holds refrigerant with the licensed professional's evacuation certificate.
Tires, oil, propane tanks, automobile batteries, hazardous waste, concrete, blocks, brick, asphalt, stone and dirt are refused in the annual appointment. The hard material is still accepted at the Transfer Station as clean inert debris, which the station prices by weight, while wet paint, chemicals and rechargeable batteries follow the household hazardous waste event, up to five on-road tires go to the county waste tire yard, and used motor oil and antifreeze are taken free at the Transfer Station, up to five gallons per customer each month.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
A residential trash customer with a couch, a mattress, a table or another large household item that meets the appointment limits.
Cost & conditions
No charge. One appointment per calendar year for a City of Prescott residential trash customer on an active solid waste account. Commercial businesses and communities on dumpsters are not eligible.
Arrange it
Register for the appointment, then place the items at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on the appointment morning, no more than four business days early.
No single item over 50 pounds is collected, and everything has to be bagged, boxed, bundled or tied. Tires, oil, propane tanks, automobile batteries, hazardous waste, concrete, blocks, brick, asphalt, stone, dirt and any commercial, contractor or demolition debris are refused.
A household with a heavy couch, a mattress set, a television, an appliance or a load that is too large for the annual appointment.
Cost & conditions
From $20 for minimum load charge at the Transfer Station, with solid waste billed at $125.00 per ton, clean brush at $91.00 per ton and clean inert debris at $62.50 per ton. Any customer self-hauling a load to the Sundog Ranch Road Transfer Station. Every load is weighed and paid at the booth in cash, check or credit card, and an authorized solid waste charge account can be billed monthly instead.
Arrange it
Take the load to 2800 Sundog Ranch Road between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Secure, contain and cover the load first, because the city code requires it, then weigh in at the booth.
The station does not accept tires, paint, propane tanks, toxic or hazardous material, anything containing asbestos, car batteries, household hazardous waste, or an appliance that holds refrigerant without an evacuation certificate. Construction debris arrives as a self-haul load rather than through the bulk appointment.
A household remodeling, landscaping or building project that produces construction material the annual appointment will not take.
Cost & conditions
The fee schedule lists a $123.00 set fee and a $246.00 pull fee for each service, plus a minimum disposal charge of $125.00 for a 13 yard container and $375.00 for a 20, 30 or 40 yard container, with solid waste billed at $125.00 per ton. Confirm the container size and the current rate with the Solid Waste Division before the inspection.
Arrange it
Request a site inspection first, because a city employee decides the container size and approves the placement. Once approved, set up the invoice account, then schedule delivery. Containers are serviced at least once every 30 days.
Hazardous waste, tires and appliances holding refrigerant may not go in the container, and some locations need a right-of-way permit. A pull charge and a disposal charge apply each time the container is serviced, and the city can remove the container once the 30 day limit is exceeded.
Household garbage, construction debris, furniture, appliances and yard waste, plus mattresses, electronic waste and televisions at the item rates.
Every load must be secured, contained and covered and is weighed at the booth. Tires, paint, propane tanks, toxic or hazardous material, anything containing asbestos, car batteries and household hazardous waste are not accepted, and an appliance that holds refrigerant needs a licensed technician's evacuation certificate. Cash, check and credit cards are taken at the booth.
7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, with the Solid Waste office answering 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The station closes on major holidays and publishes a holiday list.
From $20 for minimum load charge at the Transfer Station, with solid waste billed at $125.00 per ton, clean brush at $91.00 per ton and clean inert debris at $62.50 per ton. Any customer self-hauling a load. Every load is weighed and paid at the booth in cash, check or credit card, and an authorized solid waste charge account can be invoiced monthly instead.
Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.
How much does pickup cost?+
Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.
Can I book a pickup for today?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.
Do my items need to be outside when I book?+
You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.
How does the annual bulk item collection work in Prescott?+
Register once for the appointment that comes with a residential trash account, then set the pile at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on the appointment day. The pile cannot go out more than four business days early, every item has to be bagged, boxed, bundled or tied, and nothing over 50 pounds is collected. Commercial businesses and communities on dumpsters cannot use the program.Official guidance
Will Prescott collect a couch with the annual bulk appointment?+
Furniture is on the city's acceptable list for the appointment, so a couch or a table can go out with the complimentary yearly collection as long as no single item is over 50 pounds and everything is bagged, boxed, bundled or tied. A piece that is too heavy for the appointment and a couch from a shared-dumpster community have to go to the Transfer Station by weight instead.Official guidance
Where does a mattress go in Prescott?+
Mattresses are not recyclable, and the city sends them to the Transfer Station at 2800 Sundog Ranch Road, where the minimum load charge covers up to 300 pounds and heavier loads are billed by weight. The annual bulk appointment also lists mattresses under furniture, but it refuses any single item over 50 pounds, so a full mattress set usually has to be self-hauled.Official guidance
Where do Prescott washers and dryers go?+
Washers, dryers, stoves and similar appliances are recycled at the Transfer Station, where the solid waste rate applies and the minimum load charge covers up to 300 pounds. Secure and cover the load before you arrive, and bring a refrigerator or any other unit that held refrigerant separately with the licensed technician's evacuation certificate.Official guidance
Which electronics are billed as trash in Prescott?+
Flat panel televisions, CRT televisions, old monitors, phones, vacuums, microwaves, small appliances, keyboards, printers and stereos are charged as trash at the Transfer Station. The city also states that electronics do not belong in the curbside recycling cart, so this group goes to the scale rather than into the green container.Official guidance
What does Prescott charge to pick up a large item?+
The annual bulk appointment is complimentary once a calendar year for a residential trash customer, and the city publishes no per-item charge for it. The Transfer Station charges by weight instead, with a minimum load charge on every load and a separate rate for solid waste, clean brush and clean inert debris. Dropcurb prices a pickup separately and shows the total before payment.Official guidance
Can I take a load to the Prescott Transfer Station myself?+
Yes. The Transfer Station at 2800 Sundog Ranch Road is open Monday through Saturday and takes household garbage, construction debris, furniture, appliances and yard waste, with the charge calculated by weight at the booth. The load has to be secured, contained and covered, tires, paint, propane tanks, asbestos, car batteries and household hazardous waste are refused, and an appliance that holds refrigerant needs a licensed technician's evacuation certificate.Official guidance
Where do Prescott tires, paint and batteries go?+
Tires are refused at the Transfer Station and in the annual appointment, and up to five on-road tires can go to the Yavapai County waste tire yard at 2650 Sundog Ranch Road on Tuesday through Thursday. Wet paint and chemicals belong at the city household hazardous waste event, and registration for the current event has closed with the next event expected in fall 2026. Alkaline batteries are bagged and tied into the trash, rechargeable batteries go to the hazardous waste event or a vendor, and car batteries go back to an auto store.Official guidance
Do renters and apartment residents get these services?+
The annual bulk appointment belongs to a residential trash customer, so a renter whose unit sits on its own city solid waste account can book it, while a community on shared dumpsters is not eligible. The fee schedule bills two to four unit multi-family accounts at the residential rate and treats five or more units as commercial. Confirm the account type with the Solid Waste Division before booking.Official guidance
