Summary

Casa Grande Municipal Code § 8.08.090 sets the minimum pickup schedule for the City's mandatory residential collection system: garbage-only service runs twice weekly, refuse mixed with garbage runs twice weekly, and rubbish alone must go out at least once weekly, or more often if needed to prevent a nuisance.

The frequency of collection or the users' delivery of garbage, refuse, green waste, or rubbish shall be no less than that shown in the following schedule: A. Garbage only—twice weekly; B. Refuse with garbage—twice weekly; C. Rubbish—as often as necessary to prevent nuisances but no less than once weekly, subject to the inspection by the public works director or his authorized representative.

Full Breakdown

Section 8.08.090 of the Casa Grande Municipal Code sets minimum collection frequencies rather than maximums, so the City can collect more often but never less. Garbage-only service and refuse mixed with garbage must each be collected no less than twice weekly under subsections A and B. Rubbish alone, meaning refuse other than garbage such as tin cans, bottles, ashes, paper, cardboard, or yard trimmings, must go out no less than once weekly, or more frequently if needed to prevent a nuisance, subject to inspection by the public works director or an authorized representative under subsection C.

Section 8.08.100.A ties that twice-weekly garbage schedule to the fee side: monthly residential collection rates in the City Consolidated Fee Schedule are built around two collections each week using ninety gallon or three hundred gallon plastic containers. Billing runs on a monthly cycle under § 8.08.160, with statements issued by approximately the fifth day of the month for the service period, and users may prepay quarterly, semi-annually, or annually while remaining responsible for any rate increase enacted during a prepaid period.

Violations & Fines

A user who lets rubbish sit longer than the § 8.08.090 minimums, creating a nuisance or offensive odor, can also be cited under the separate accumulation prohibition in § 8.08.180, and Chapter 8.08 violations generally carry a class two misdemeanor charge 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

How often does Casa Grande pick up my trash?
Under § 8.08.090, garbage-only service and refuse mixed with garbage must each be collected no less than twice weekly. Rubbish by itself, things like cardboard, ashes, and yard trimmings, must be collected at least once weekly, or more often if the public works director decides it is needed to prevent a nuisance.
Can the City ever collect less often than the schedule?
No. Section 8.08.090 sets these as minimum frequencies: garbage-only and refuse-with-garbage service can never drop below twice weekly, and rubbish can never drop below once weekly. The City can collect more frequently, but the ordinance does not allow falling below those floors.
What size trash container does my monthly bill cover?
Section 8.08.100.A bases the monthly residential collection fee in the City Consolidated Fee Schedule on two collections each week using either a ninety gallon or a three hundred gallon plastic container, matching the twice-weekly garbage minimum set in § 8.08.090.
