Fill out the Hazardous Waste Home Collection application (button at the bottom of this page) and explain the type of waste you wish to have picked up from your home.
You will receive a confirmation from the City with the pickup date. The day before your collection appointment an email reminder will be sent.
Set out your items for collection by 5 a.m. on your scheduled collection day. All containers must be clearly labeled to identify their contents, sealed if necessary, and placed outside by your front door or garage. The largest container eligible for collection is 5 gallons. You are eligible to have 20 gallons of waste picked up per appointment.
- The household hazardous waste program is for hazardous materials generated from residences only – no commercial hazardous materials will
be accepted.
- Material should be tightly sealed in its original container, if possible, and placed in a cardboard box. Glass containers
should be wrapped in towels, cloth or packaged in some other way to prevent breakage.
- If you are not a single-family home resident with Scottsdale solid waste services, check your local auto parts, home improvement or battery store: many will
accept specific household hazardous waste items and properly dispose of them.
