Sahuarita, AZ Trash & Recycling: Recycling Rules (2026)

030 STC defines 'recyclable material or recyclables' as any solid waste separated out for recycling, giving newsprint, printed material, pasteboard, paper and beverage containers, wood, metals, plastics, glass, cardboard and paper as examples, while making clear the contractor must provide its own list of acceptable items, which may change due to market conditions; the code does not lock in a fixed statewide list, so what is accepted curbside can shift over the life of the town's collection contract. 'Recycling' itself is defined separately as the process by which materials that have served their intended use, or are scrapped, discarded, surplus or obsolete, are collected, separated or processed and returned to use as raw materials in new products.

090 caps recycling collection at no more than once a week, distinct from residential solid waste, which is collected a minimum of once and a maximum of twice weekly; the same contractor may collect recyclables from the same household on the same day it picks up trash. 040.
