A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

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.

Bulk items and household junk

Special rules apply

There is no county or city bulky collection in unincorporated Tanque Verde. Pima County's own instruction for an address outside the Tucson city limits is to hire a permitted solid waste hauler for curbside service or to self haul to a disposal facility.

City cost & eligibility
The self haul route publishes a minimum covered load charge at Los Reales and a per vehicle minimum at the county transfer station, while the curbside alternative is priced by whichever permitted hauler the household contracts with, and neither the county nor the city publishes that price. Confirm with the chosen hauler before a set out, or plan on the published gate minimum at a self haul site.
When & how
Curbside pickup runs on the hauler's own schedule, so it is set when the account is arranged. Self haul is available at Los Reales Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. and at the North Oracle Road transfer station Monday through Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep bulk junk off the curb until a hauler account covers it, and cover any self hauled load because an uncovered load costs more. Leave hazardous waste, liquids, waste oil, lead acid batteries, tires beyond the residential allowance and universal waste out of the load, because the landfill refuses them.

Right place.

This address has no municipal collection, so arrange the route first

Tanque Verde is unincorporated Pima County and the county's own guidance for an address outside the Tucson city limits is to hire a permitted solid waste hauler for curbside garbage and recyclables or to self haul to a disposal facility. Nothing sits at the curb waiting for a city crew, and the county publishes no bulky collection day for this area.

Cover every self haul load and expect a gate minimum

At the regional landfill a covered load under 2,000 pounds pays the minimum charge, a heavier load is priced per ton, an uncovered load costs more again, and every load carries an added environmental fee. Payment is by card only and a deposit may be required, so arrive with the load covered and secured.

Keep universal waste, liquids and batteries out of the load

The landfill refuses regulated hazardous waste, universal waste, bulk liquids, lead acid batteries, waste oil, explosives, ammunition, intact vehicles and anything banned by federal, state or city rules. Electronics fall under that refusal, which is why a television or computer goes to the household hazardous waste program instead of the landfill gate.

Keep a permitted hauler for curbside service

A Tanque Verde household that wants a curbside pickup rather than driving every load to a facility.

Cost & conditions
Curbside service in unincorporated Pima County is a private subscription, so the hauler sets its own monthly rate and its own bulky item terms. Pima County publishes a list of haulers permitted by the county, and the county does not publish a price for those accounts.
Arrange it
Arrange the account directly with a hauler permitted by Pima County, and ask that hauler which bulky items it takes, how they have to be prepared and whether there is a set out limit.

The county does not collect in this area, so an unarranged item left at the curb is an illegal dump, and the county asks residents to use a permitted hauler and to keep the landfill receipt.

Pima County Department of Environmental Quality, with the City of Tucson Los Reales Sustainability Campus and household hazardous waste program

Self haul to the Los Reales regional landfill

A household with a mattress, furniture, a rug, green waste or a construction load that will fit in a pickup or trailer.

Cost & conditions
From $18 for minimum charge for a covered load under 2,000 pounds, with per ton pricing above that, an extra charge for an uncovered load, a per appliance fee for refrigerant appliances and an environmental fee on every load. City of Tucson and Pima County residents, including self haulers from unincorporated areas such as Tanque Verde. Payment is by card only and a deposit may be required.
Arrange it
Drive the covered load to 5300 E. Los Reales Road and check in at the scale. The campus is open Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The landfill refuses universal waste, hazardous waste, bulk liquids, waste oil and lead acid batteries, so electronics and chemicals have to be handled at the household hazardous waste program instead.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self hauling from Tanque Verde means one of two trips. Los Reales at 5300 E. Los Reales Road is the regional landfill for Pima County and takes mattresses, furniture, rugs, green waste, concrete and asphalt and construction debris from Monday through Saturday, six to five, charging a minimum for a covered load under 2,000 pounds, more for an uncovered load and a per appliance fee for anything designed to use refrigerant. The county transfer station at 14425 N. Oracle Road is the smaller stop, open Monday through Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., with free recycling drop-off, free antifreeze, battery, oil and paint drop-off, free resident tires up to five a year and household appliances in the scrap metal stream, though its refrigerators have to arrive without Freon. Electronics cannot go to either site, because the landfill refuses universal waste and the recycling bins refuse them too, so a television or computer goes to the household hazardous waste drop-off on the Los Reales campus or to a community collection event, where unincorporated Pima County addresses pay the program's per visit fee.

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Tanque Verde.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Tanque Verde?

A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.

At Los Reales a covered load under 2,000 pounds pays the minimum charge, a heavier load is priced per ton, an uncovered load costs more, every load carries an added environmental fee, and an appliance designed to use refrigerant carries its own per appliance charge.
