To keep critters away from your trash and from making a mess, please remember to:

• Bag and tie all trash
• Place garbage containing any type of food or leftovers inside your in-ground, covered container

When your in-ground containers are full:

• Place your extra trash bags that do not contain food waste on top of your in-ground containers
• If your recycle container is full and you have cardboard boxes that won’t fit, simply break them down and either bundle them or place them tightly within a cardboard box and leave it on the recycle container
• Both extra items will be picked up on their respective service day

The in-ground cans and related structures are part of the home, and are owned and maintained by the property owner. The city and its contractor are not responsible for maintenance and repair of in-ground trash and recycle containment systems

What Goes Where? 

• The can nearest the street is for trash
• The can nearest the home is for recycle, recycling may be bagged to prevent loose items from blowing away

What if I Have More Trash?

Extra trash may be taken to the southwest regional landfill.

Residents may submit a request via email to receive a landfill certificate. Within the email, provide your name, email address and service address. The landfill certificate will be emailed to the email address provided. This certificate must be printed and brought to the landfill, along with a current utility bill showing city of Buckeye residential trash services are provided at the address indicated.

For more information, please complete an environmental concern form, and staff will address questions as quickly as possible.
