Phoenix Bulk Trash Pickup Without Limits
The city's bulk trash rules can be a mystery — but getting rid of your junk shouldn't be. If you are tired of staring at a pile of unwanted stuff, you don't have to wait around for a municipal appointment window.
AZ Junk Removal & Dumpsters provides fast, upfront bulk trash pickup across the entire Phoenix Metro area. Unlike the city, there is no 10-cubic-yard limit, no restricted item list, and no requirement to drag heavy furniture out to the curb yourself. Whether your bulk trash is sitting in the backyard, taking up space in the garage, or still in your living room, our crew handles all the heavy lifting.
We are a local, family-owned company that has been serving Phoenix since 2001. We show up on time, price by the load, and guarantee to beat any written estimate from national franchises like 1-800-Got-Junk, Junk King, and College Hunks.

What We Haul Away
Curbside, Garage, or Backyard — We'll Grab It All
When it comes to a major cleanout, "bulk trash" is just the beginning. If it is taking up space and you want it gone, we can haul it away. We remove items from anywhere on your property — no curb dragging required.
Furniture & Appliances
That fridge has been "almost working" for three years. The city won't touch appliances with refrigerants — but we will. Old couches, mattresses, washers, dryers, refrigerators, and AC units are all fair game. We handle the heavy lifting and recycle or donate what we can.

Remodeling & Construction Debris
Just finished a bathroom demo? The city's bulk trash program explicitly rejects construction materials like tile, drywall, concrete, dirt, and roofing shingles. We don't. We load up all your heavy remodeling debris the same day your crew finishes — no waiting, no hassle.

Garage & Backyard Cleanouts
You said you'd park a car in there someday. Today is the day. Often a bulk trash pile is just a symptom of a larger clutter problem. If you need a complete garage or backyard cleanout, our team will clear the space, haul everything away, and sweep up when we are done.

Yard Waste & Green Debris
The city requires you to securely bag and tie all grass and leaves, and cut tree trimmings down to specific sizes before they'll take them. Skip the hassle. We haul away branches, clippings, and old landscaping materials exactly as they are — no bagging, no measuring.

Bagster Bulk Trash Bag
Waste Management's Bagster program has a catch: they won't pick up a Bagster bag left at the curb without a scheduled collection, and their service area and item restrictions can leave you stuck with a full bag and no pickup. We offer a flat-rate Bagster pickup alternative — we come to you, load it up, and haul it away on your schedule.
Bagster Pickup Alternative →How It Works
Getting rid of bulk trash is as easy as one, two, three. No holding music, no confusing regulations.

Navigating City of Phoenix Bulk Trash Pickups
If you have a smaller load that meets all the municipal requirements, the city's free service might work for you. Here is what you need to know about the City of Phoenix Public Works bulk trash guidelines — so you can decide which option makes the most sense for your situation.
The New Appointment-Based System
The City of Phoenix changed from scheduled zone pickups to an appointment-based system starting September 30, 2024. Residents can now schedule up to 10 cubic yards of trash per collection through the city's online portal or by calling 602-262-6251. Most areas have appointments available within a couple of weeks, and you can also schedule up to one year in advance.
Once your appointment is booked, you can place your trash at the curb no more than seven days before your scheduled pickup date. Residents are limited to four collection opportunities per year. Appointments can be cancelled up to two business days in advance without it counting against your annual total.
The City of Phoenix even published a tutorial video walking residents through exactly how to properly stage their bulk trash pile for collection — because the placement rules are that specific. With AZ Junk Removal & Dumpsters, you skip all of that. No staging, no measuring, no 5:30 a.m. deadlines. We come to wherever your junk is and handle it ourselves.

What the City Will and Won't Accept
Your pile must be placed parallel to the street, no more than 5 feet from the curb, and at least 5 feet away from any fixed objects like cars, water meters, or utility boxes. Items must be set out by 5:30 a.m. on your scheduled appointment date.
The City of Phoenix Will NOT Collect:
- More than 10 cubic yards of trash per residence
- Household hazardous waste (chemicals, paint, antifreeze, pool chemicals, oil, batteries)
- Construction or demolition materials — bricks, concrete, dirt, rocks, asphalt, and roofing shingles
- Tires of any shape or size
- Glass — windows, shower doors, patio doors, mirrors, and fluorescent tubes
- Large appliances containing refrigerants — freezers, refrigerators, and air conditioners
- Materials placed in Bagster bags
- More than 2 wooden pallets
- Tree trunks or stumps longer than 4 feet and bigger than 12 inches in diameter
If your bulk trash includes any of these items, the city will leave them behind. AZ Junk Removal & Dumpsters takes all of them — no restrictions, no surprises. Wondering what it costs? Our junk removal pricing guide breaks it down by load size so you know exactly what to expect before we arrive.
