Summary
Unincorporated Coconino County offers no bulk pickup; large items are self-hauled to a county transfer station or the Cinder Lake Landfill. Flagstaff collects bulk waste from city homes on a four-week rotating schedule.
Bulk waste will be collected from single-family residential properties on a once every four (4) week rotating schedule. A pile up to five (5) feet by five (5) feet by ten (10) feet of combined yard waste and bulk waste shall be collected on a scheduled bulk waste collection.
Full Breakdown
Getting rid of furniture, mattresses, and appliances is the resident's own job in unincorporated Coconino County. You haul the item to a county transfer station or to the Cinder Lake Landfill northeast of Flagstaff and pay by weight at the scale. Flagstaff runs a real program for its residents: bulk waste is picked up curbside once every four weeks, and a pile up to five by five by ten feet is collected on the scheduled week. Appliances containing refrigerant, such as refrigerators and freezers, need a special collection and a refrigerant-removal step. Construction debris is excluded everywhere and takes a private hauler.
Violations & Fines
Dumping bulky junk in the forest instead of hauling it is illegal dumping and a public-health nuisance under A.R.S. §36-601. Flagstaff bulk waste set out off-schedule or oversized may be left uncollected.
