Mesquite provides scheduled bulk trash and brush collection for residential customers, allowing disposal of large items that do not fit in the standard cart such as furniture, mattresses, small appliances, and bagged or bundled yard waste. Residents typically receive bulk pickup on a scheduled rotation (monthly or by call-in request depending on current service structure). Items must be placed at the curb the weekend before the scheduled collection week and separated into piles by material type (brush, bulk, white goods). Brush must be cut into manageable lengths and bundled or placed in piles under city-specified size and weight limits. Prohibited items include tires, construction debris, paint, motor oil, batteries, electronics, and hazardous waste; these must be taken to the Environmental Service Center or approved disposal sites. Appliances containing refrigerants require prior Freon removal documentation.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Mesquite code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
