Full Breakdown
Buckeye's Public Works Solid Waste Division runs quarterly residential bulk waste pickup, but only after a resident schedules it: putting bulk waste at the curb early is a code violation. Materials must be stacked in neat piles on the resident's property, parallel to the street, at least five feet from fences, containers, or other obstructions. The city collects up to 20 cubic yards of bulk waste per household per fiscal year at no charge; anything beyond that, or items like concrete, tires, and hazardous waste, is the resident's responsibility to haul away.
Violations & Fines
Setting bulk waste out before your scheduled pickup, blocking sidewalks, or putting out unacceptable items violates Sec. 9-2-4; uncorrected piles are declared a public nuisance subject to city abatement at the owner's expense.
