Bulk trash in Queen Creek is part of regular residential service: one bulk pickup per month is included in the rate. Bulk collection must be scheduled by noon on the business day before the pickup date, and the bulk pile must be curbside by 6 a.m. on the scheduled day. Each monthly pickup is limited to a maximum of about 6 cubic yards (roughly 4 feet by 4 feet by 10 feet). Acceptable items include furniture, large appliances, household garbage, cardboard and yard debris. Items that are not securely tied with twine, string, duct tape or similar, and that spill onto the roadway or sidewalk, will not be picked up; century plants, cacti and similar hazardous plants must be boxed for crew safety. Several materials are excluded, including but not limited to refrigerators and freezers, tires, motor oil, batteries, and construction materials such as concrete, pavers and brick. Households that need more than the monthly allotment can apply for additional bulk collection, which carries an extra bulk-pickup fee. Household hazardous waste is handled through a separate program the town offers in partnership with Gilbert.
Bulk left out without scheduling, exceeding the roughly 6-cubic-yard limit, set out after 6 a.m., not securely tied, or containing prohibited items (freon appliances, tires, oil, batteries, concrete) may be left uncollected. Extra or oversized loads require an application and incur an additional bulk-pickup fee.
