One Call Hauls it All! Brush & Bulky Anytime

A special trash collection can be ordered any time by submitting a request here or calling Customer Service at 520-791-3171. Consider ordering a special pickup if you have a large quantity of bulky refuse that you are unable to take to the landfill and your Brush and Bulky service is not scheduled soon.

Place materials where you normally set out for scheduled Brush and Bulky pickup. 

To Prepare for Brush and Bulky

  • Place your items in front of your home to be collected (Some exempt service areas).
  • Items must be at least 3-feet from all obstacles, including trash and recycling containers and utility meters.
  • Have materials set out by 6 a.m. on the Monday of your collection week. Collection will be completed by the end of the week. Do not put materials out more than two weeks ahead of your scheduled collection.
  • Maximum is 10 cubic yards per household (1 cubic yard = size of a washing machine). Excess over the limit will not be taken.
