If your bin is in bad shape and needs replacing, call 791-3171

The city of Tucson is very happy to quickly replace damaged and broken bins!

These bins can create serious health risks especially when rainwater can get into them.

They can provide shelter for rodents and vermin and create health hazards for wildlife.

Please take two minutes and request a new bin when and if you need one.


They are free of charge!

Pull Your Bins In Please!

There is an ordinance that our garbage and recycling bins are only to be curbside no more than 24 hours surrounding our scheduled pickup.

Please take those few seconds and pull your bins back!
  • They are unsightly!
  • They harbor bacteria!
  • They are dangerous in windy conditions!
  • They affect the appearance of our neighborhood to it's detriment!

If you are like many residents, you don't want to throw these materials away but aren't sure what to do with them. They usually sit stored in a garage or shed. The Tucson HHW Program is available to all residents. Fees are charged based on residency. Through the HHW Program, residents can drop off their materials and they will be safely recycled, reused, or disposed of properly.

This program is free to residents of Tucson.
