Quick answer
Glendale uses a monthly zone schedule for bulk trash. Residents can begin setting material out on the Thursday before their collection week, and the City requires it to be ready by 6 a.m. Monday.
Who qualifies matters. Eligible City solid-waste customers; collection week depends on the service address.
Furniture, mattresses and appliances
Furniture and many ordinary household bulky items can go through the bulk program. The City limits pile height to about 6 feet and excludes construction debris, hazardous waste and tires. Refrigerators and other refrigerant appliances require separate handling and a published fee.
Household hazardous waste and other special material
Glendale operates appointment-based household hazardous waste collection during designated seasonal periods. The City lists 623-930-2660 for solid-waste and HHW questions.
Where to take large items in Glendale
Confirm the Glendale pickup date, item limits and preparation rules before setting anything out.
Before set-out
Use the City's bulk-trash map or schedule to identify the correct week before placing anything out. Keep prohibited materials separate and arrange refrigerant-appliance service instead of mixing those units into the bulk pile.
- Confirm the service address and the agency or hauler responsible for it.
- Check whether the bulky route requires an appointment, assigned week, sticker, fee or volume limit.
