Garbage Collections
Please use a city-issued container to dispose of all household garbage. According to Buckeye City regulations, ensure that your garbage cart is placed at the curbside by 7 AM on your scheduled collection day. To minimize spillage, it’s recommended to place all your trash into plastic bags before putting them into your garbage cart. This will help the collection crew gather your cart more easily. Be punctual with your cart placement, as late carts may be missed during collection.
Additionally, the weight of the cart should not exceed 100 lbs. When positioning your cart at the curbside, place it in front of your property at the edge of the street, with the lid facing the street. Only closed-lid carts should be placed at the curb. If trash bags are overflowing from the cart, it may result in a missed collection. Follow these guidelines to ensure a smooth trash collection process according to the Buckeye Trash Schedule.
Buckeye Recycling
Recycling services are provided to Buckeye residents once a week. It’s recommended to place your container at the curbside the night before your scheduled collection day. Acceptable recycling materials include plastic and glass bottles, food and drink cans, paper, and cardboard. Place all these materials in a city-issued recycling container.
Only unbagged materials should be placed in the recycling cart. Ensure that the cart is placed in a way that doesn’t block sidewalks. Include only clean, empty, and dry items in your recycling cart to reduce spills and litter. Do not place any irrelevant materials in the recycling cart, as this may result in the collection crew leaving your cart unserviced.
