Effective November 1, 2008, Waste Management of Arizona began providing trash (refuse and recycling) service to the City of Litchfield Park. The contracted rate, as of July 1, 2018, is $23.12 per month, per home. Waste Management’s Customer Service Department can be reached at 1-888-964-9780.

The new service days are: Monday/Thursday trash service with recycling on Thursday, or Tuesday / Friday trash service with recycling on Tuesday. Please refer to the service map below for your service days. The Village at Litchfield Park will continue with automated service with containers provided by Waste Management. Recycling has been made easier with the new 35-gallon recycling container delivered by Waste Management. Also, the type of recycling commodities accepted has increased. (See table below.)

Containers used for refuse (trash) pickup service (in-ground containers or your own containers, not to exceed 50 pounds when loaded for collection) shall be placed for collection curbside or, if available, in the alley at the rear of the residence. Containers must be placed at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on your trash and/or recycling service day; however, they may be placed out after 6:00 p.m. on the day preceding regular collection, and shall be removed from the curb by midnight of the day of collection. Containers shall be stored between collections in such a manner that they are not readily visible from the street.

Bulk item pickup will be the last Thursday or last Friday of your normal pickup schedule. Place items for bulk pickup at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on your trash day. Items include: yard and tree clippings less than 4’ in length bundled; furniture; box springs; mattresses; carpet cut into 4’ strips; appliances (FREON MUST BE REMOVED); and, other similar items. NO tires, liquids, paint, batteries, pesticides or 55-gallon drums will be accepted.



Waste Management's first ever comprehensive recycling education and outreach campaign targeted at consumers, educators, cities and community members is now available and at your disposal. We are excited to share this with you as we believe Recycle Often. Recycle Right.SM campaign -- or RORR for short -- can be a catalyst to educate, inspire and change consumer behavior and reduce contamination.
