Summary

Casa Grande Municipal Code § 8.08.110.A lets residents keep bulky rubbish, cardboard, wooden boxes, furniture, appliances, and green waste, separate from the regular refuse containers issued by the City rather than forcing everything into the cart; green waste set out loose must be bagged or bundled so crews can load it.

A. Rubbish consisting only of cardboard, wooden boxes, furniture, appliances, and green waste from residences within the City limits may be kept separately without depositing in the appropriate containers issued by the City. Green waste, if not placed in containers, shall be in a sack or receptacle for ease of loading.

Full Breakdown

Section 8.08.110.A of the Casa Grande Municipal Code carves out an exception to the mandatory container rule in § 8.08.070 for bulky residential items. Rubbish limited to cardboard, wooden boxes, furniture, appliances, and green waste from a residence within the City limits can be kept out of the assigned refuse container entirely; if green waste is not placed in a container, it has to be bagged or otherwise put in a receptacle so the collection crew can load it. Households that want to skip City pickup altogether for these items can haul them straight to the Casa Grande Municipal Landfill, and disposal is free to residential users who show proof of City residence under § 8.08.100.C.1, with one notable exception: appliances are charged unless the owner shows the Freon has already been removed, per § 8.08.100.C.2.b, in which case there is no charge.

Green waste delivered to the Landfill chipped down to two inches or less is also free under § 8.08.100.C.2.a; mixing it with other refuse voids the free rate and it is billed at the regular Landfill usage charge instead. On the non-residential side, brush and bulky loose refuse are billed by volume under § 8.08.100.B rather than by a flat container rate.

Violations & Fines

Nothing in § 8.08.110.A authorizes violating any other provision of the code, ordinance, or fire department rule; bulky items left to create a nuisance can still be cited under the accumulation prohibition in § 8.08.180.A. Chapter 8.08 violations generally are class two misdemeanors in Casa Grande Municipal Court, up to four months in jail or a $750 fine for an individual, or up to $10,000 for an enterprise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I set out an old couch without putting it in my trash cart?
Yes. Section 8.08.110.A lets residents keep furniture, along with cardboard, wooden boxes, appliances, and green waste, separate from the container the City issued rather than forcing everything into the cart. It still has to be handled so it does not create a nuisance under the separate accumulation rule in § 8.08.180.
Does the Landfill charge me to drop off an old refrigerator?
Whether there is a charge turns on Freon. Section 8.08.100.C.2.b assesses a Freon removal fee unless you show proof the Freon has already been taken out of the appliance, in which case City residents and non-residential entities can drop it off free. Landfill disposal for residents generally is free with proof of City residence under § 8.08.100.C.1.
Do I have to bag my yard waste if I'm not using a City container?
Yes. Section 8.08.110.A requires green waste that is not placed in a City container to be put in a sack or receptacle for ease of loading, so the collection crew can pick it up efficiently rather than scooping loose leaves and branches off the ground.
