Filled bags and boxes
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard and containers
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Furniture and other larger items
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

The county's six transfer stations are open to every Maricopa County resident with no identification required, and a load is priced by the vehicle that carries it, from a car load of household trash to a trailer load or a bag of trash.
City cost & eligibility
From $2 for the published bagged trash rate of $2 per 30 gallon bag, with a car or station wagon load of household trash at $6, vans and sport utility vehicles at $9, pickup trucks at $12 and trailers at $12, green waste loads at $4 to $40 depending on the vehicle, and per item prices for furniture, mattresses, appliances and CRTs. All Maricopa County residents, with no identification required at the recycling centers. Payment is by debit or credit card only, and vehicle load pricing covers the cargo area of a single vehicle or trailer.
When & how
The stations operate from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with day patterns that differ by site: Cave Creek and Hassayampa run Wednesday through Saturday, Aguila is open Thursday and Friday, and Morristown is open Wednesday and Saturday, so check the site before loading.
Get it ready
Separate recyclables from the trash load because the recyclable streams carry no load charge, keep tires to five or fewer per visit with the rims off, keep used oil or antifreeze to five gallons per visit, and leave batteries, household hazardous waste, propane or refrigerant containers, asbestos, manure, radioactive material and wet cell batteries out of the load entirely because they are refused.
Furniture is priced per item at the county transfer stations, with a sofa or chair on its own published line, so a household can haul it in or send it with a private hauler.
City cost & eligibility
From $8 for the published per item rate for furniture and a sofa or chair at the county transfer stations. Maricopa County residents hauling the item to a transfer station during operating hours and paying by debit or credit card. A private hauler sets its own price for a curbside pickup.
When & how
Take the piece to a county transfer station during its published hours, or arrange the private collection for the address.
Get it ready
Keep the piece whole enough to handle, remove anything you are keeping, and separate it from the trash load so it is charged on the per item line rather than by volume.
A mattress is on the county's per item line beside furniture, so it is charged by the piece at a county transfer station.
City cost & eligibility
From $8 for the published per item rate for a mattress at the county transfer stations, on the same line as furniture and a sofa or chair. Maricopa County residents hauling the piece to a transfer station during operating hours and paying by debit or credit card. A private hauler sets its own price for a curbside pickup.
When & how
Haul the piece to a county transfer station during its published hours or use the private collection for the address.

City cost & eligibility

Maricopa County residents hauling the unit to a transfer station. Large appliances such as air conditioners, dishwashers, freezers, refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers and water heaters are priced per item rather than in the free scrap metal stream.
When & how
Arrange the refrigerant evacuation and compressor removal first, then haul the unit to a county transfer station during its published hours, or send it with the private collection for the address.
Get it ready
Keep the documentation from the certified technician who evacuated the system, because the county requires the unit to be evacuated, the compressor removed and the unit tagged before it will accept it. Small metal items go in the free scrap metal stream, but a large appliance does not.
Green waste has its own lower rate table at the county stations, bagged or bundled material is taken year round, and bulk green waste is only accepted during the county's quarterly events at three named stations.
City cost & eligibility

When & how
Bag or bundle green waste for any operating day, and watch the county calendar for the quarterly bulk green waste events, which run only at the three named stations.
Get it ready
Bag or bundle the material so it can be taken at any time of year, notify the attendant on arrival that the load is clean green organics, keep palm fronds and oleanders out of the green stream, and keep food or garbage separate from the green material.
A load is priced by the vehicle, so separate the streams before the trip: recyclables, electronics and scrap metal go in the free streams, green waste rides the lower green table, furniture, mattresses, appliances and CRTs are charged per item, and household trash is priced by the car, van, pickup or trailer load or by the bag. Tires are limited to five per visit with the rims off, used oil or antifreeze to five gallons, and prohibited wastes such as batteries, household hazardous waste, asbestos and propane containers are refused.
Cooling appliances need the refrigerant removed first
The county accepts appliances that contained refrigerant only after the system has been evacuated, the compressor removed and the unit tagged as the county requires, with documentation of that work. Expect the per item appliance charge rather than the free scrap metal stream, and arrange the work with a certified technician before the trip.
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.
