Glendale provides weekly curbside trash and recycling collection through its Solid Waste Services division. Residents receive city-issued containers for trash, recycling, and green waste. Collection occurs on assigned weekdays, and containers must be placed curbside by 5:00 AM on collection day. All waste must be contained within the issued bins with lids closed.
Glendale contracts with waste haulers or operates municipal trash collection on a weekly schedule. Residents receive assigned pickup days. Bins must be placed curbside by the designated morning time, typically 6 to 7 AM. Holiday delays shift pickup one day. Contaminated recycling bins may be skipped. Oversized or overweight bins will not be collected. Contact Glendale public works for schedule changes or missed pickup reports.
Failure to follow schedule may result in missed pickup. Repeated violations of bin rules may incur $50 to $200 fines from code enforcement.
