Mohave County runs no universal curbside collection. Unincorporated desert residents self-haul to county landfills and transfer stations or hire a private subscription hauler. Cities like Kingman, Bullhead City, and Lake Havasu City run their own collection.
There is no countywide trash pickup in unincorporated Mohave County. Households either subscribe to a private hauler where one serves their area or self-haul their waste to a county facility. The Solid Waste Division operates the Cerbat Sanitary Landfill east of US-93 near Kingman and the Mohave Valley Sanitary Landfill off SR-95, plus transfer stations at Kingman and Littlefield. Fees are charged per ton at the gate. Incorporated cities — Kingman, Bullhead City, Lake Havasu City — arrange their own municipal or contracted collection, so city residents follow city schedules, not the county.
The county sets no pickup schedule to violate. Letting waste pile up can draw a public-health nuisance action under A.R.S. §36-601, and illegal dumping instead of hauling is separately enforced.
