Summary
Sedona's code does not print a citywide trash pickup calendar. Every responsible party must put solid waste and recycling into containers supplied by their own service provider, and it is that private hauler, not city hall, who fixes which day of the week your street gets picked up.
Every responsible party, person or commercial or residential solid waste generator shall place, or cause to be placed, all solid waste and recycling accumulating on the private premises or business establishment in containers provided by their service provider. ... The designated collection days shall be determined by the service provider.
Official source re-checked September 8, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: current through Initiative Ordinance 2026-01, approved by voters at the July 21, 2026 election).
Full Breakdown
070(A) requires every responsible party, person, or commercial or residential solid waste generator to place their solid waste and recycling in containers provided by their service provider. 080(A)(2) then hands the scheduling piece to that same provider: the designated collection days shall be determined by the service provider, not by a city-wide ordinance date. Practically, that means a Sedona address's actual pickup day depends on which hauler serves that property rather than a single municipal schedule published for the whole city. 050, defines the 'responsible party' as the owner, occupant or other person having control over the structure or parcel, and defines 'private service providers/service provider' broadly to include any entity that collects, transports, processes or disposes of solid waste or recyclables within the city.
Because scheduling authority sits with the private provider, a resident who wants to know their actual pickup day has to check with their hauler rather than the municipal code. 080(A)(1), and stored between pickups so they are not visible from the street. 00 for a first violation.
