Goodyear Bulk Trash & Garbage Pickup 2026: Large Items, Monthly Schedule, Rules and Pickup Help
This guide is for the City of Goodyear, Arizona, not the Goodyear tire company. Goodyear bulk trash pickup in 2026 is monthly and address-based. Your home is assigned to a “1st through 4th weekday” bulk day, such as 1st Monday, 2nd Tuesday, 3rd Wednesday or 4th Friday. A 5th weekday is never assigned for bulk pickup.
Enter your ZIP code below — we'll take you straight to your city's official schedule. No searching, no confusion.
For the safest result, check your address in Goodyear’s Waste Wizard calendar, place bulk material in the street next to the curb in front of your property, keep items away from utilities and landscaping, cut objects to 4 feet, and have everything out before 6:00 a.m. on your scheduled bulk day.
Quick Answer for Goodyear Residents
Goodyear residential bulk trash is collected once per month, and the exact day depends on your address. Bulk routes are assigned as a 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th weekday of the month. If a month has a 5th Monday, 5th Tuesday, 5th Wednesday, 5th Thursday or 5th Friday, that 5th day is not assigned for bulk service.
Address first
Use Waste Wizard or the City schedule page. Do not copy a neighbor’s day because nearby streets can be routed differently.
Before 6:00 a.m.
Bulk material set out after 6:00 a.m. on the scheduled collection day may not be serviced.
After 6 p.m. best
The City says bulk can be set out after 6:00 p.m. the day before collection, and up to seven days before your scheduled day.
Wrong items stay
Household trash, hazardous materials, tires, oil, rocks, dirt, mulch, large glass and construction debris are not accepted.
Call 623-882-7887 if the online calendar is difficult. Ask: “What is my monthly bulk trash day, and is this item allowed?” Have your service address ready.
Goodyear 2026 Bulk Trash Date Tool
Goodyear does not use one citywide bulk trash date. This tool helps residents who already know their assigned “1st–4th weekday” pattern. Select the ordinal and weekday shown in Waste Wizard, then the tool will build your 2026 planning list.
Goodyear’s official page says each bulk accumulation, except furniture and appliances, should not exceed five cubic yards and should be shaped so two employees can safely lift it without breaking. This tool is only an estimate.
How Goodyear Bulk Trash Pickup Works in 2026
Goodyear bulk trash is for normal residential material that is too large for the regular trash or recycling container. It is not a construction debris service, hazardous waste pickup, tire pickup or unlimited cleanout program.
- Confirm your exact address schedule. Open the City’s trash, recycling and bulk pickup page and use the Calendar tab. You can print a schedule or sign up for reminders.
- Write down your monthly pattern. Your home may show something like 1st Monday, 2nd Wednesday or 4th Friday. That pattern is more useful than a generic “bulk week.”
- Prepare large items before set-out. Cut objects to 4-foot lengths. Bag grass clippings correctly. Box cactus or sharp glass items and label the box to protect workers.
- Place the pile in the street next to the curb. Use the area in front of your property. Keep the pile away from electrical boxes, cable boxes, mailboxes, poles, water meters and landscaping.
- Use the correct set-out window. The cleanest habit is after 6:00 p.m. the day before pickup. The City allows set-out up to seven days before the scheduled bulk day.
- Have it out before 6:00 a.m. A late pile may not be serviced. After pickup, residents are responsible for cleaning small debris left behind.
Weekly Goodyear Garbage and Recycling Pickup
Weekly cart service is separate from monthly bulk trash. Goodyear partners with Waste Connections of Arizona for same-day residential trash and recycling container collection. The tan garbage container and green recycling container are serviced once per week on the same day.
Same-day service
Your tan trash container and green recycling container are picked up on the same day, but they may be collected at different times.
6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Containers should be placed no earlier than 6:00 p.m. the day before pickup and no later than 6:00 a.m. on pickup day.
Wheels against curb
Place containers in the street with wheels against the curb, not on the sidewalk. Remove containers by 6:00 a.m. the day after pickup.
Give the truck arm room
- Keep containers at least 3 feet apart under City page guidance.
- Keep containers away from vehicles, mailboxes and other obstacles.
- Bag and tie household garbage.
- Do not bag recyclables.
Automated cart pickup failures
- Overfilled container with lid open.
- Extra trash placed on top of, next to or outside the cart.
- Cart blocked by a parked vehicle.
- Recyclables in plastic bags.
- Lithium batteries in trash or recycling.
Goodyear Bulk Trash Rules: Placement, Size and Safety
Bulk pickup is a safety-sensitive service. Crews need items that can be reached, lifted, cut correctly, boxed when sharp, and separated from rejected materials.
Correct Goodyear bulk setup
- Confirm your monthly bulk day in Waste Wizard.
- Place items in the street, next to the curb, in front of your property.
- Keep material away from electrical boxes, cable boxes, mailboxes, poles, water meters and landscaping.
- Cut objects to 4-foot lengths.
- Double bag grass clippings or place them in sealed cardboard boxes.
- Place cactus, glass items and cutting-edge items in sealed boxes and clearly label them.
- Set out after 6:00 p.m. the day before pickup, or within the City’s allowed seven-day window.
- Have items out before 6:00 a.m. on your scheduled collection day.
Rejected items that can stop pickup
- Household trash that fits in your regular container.
- Hazardous materials, chemicals, paint, motor oil and solvents.
- Large auto parts, tires and boats.
- Rocks, dirt, mulch and landscaping fill material.
- Large glass items such as windows, doors and tabletops.
- Construction, repair or demolition debris such as roofing, drywall and concrete.
- Material placed in a way that blocks pedestrians or vehicles.
- Late set-out after 6:00 a.m. on collection day.
A garage cleanout, rental turnover or estate cleanup can easily exceed the normal bulk limit. Do not build a huge pile first and ask questions later. Use the landfill section, private hauler, dumpster or phased monthly disposal plan before the pile becomes a neighborhood problem.
Large Items in Goodyear: What Goes Where?
This section answers the real “can I put this out?” searches. When an item is questionable, use Waste Wizard or call Utilities Customer Service before dragging it to the curb.
| Item or material | Best Goodyear route | Resident action |
|---|---|---|
| Sofa, chair, dresser, table, furniture | Monthly bulk pickup | Place at the curb/street edge for your scheduled bulk day. Keep away from utilities and obstacles. |
| Mattress or box spring | Monthly bulk pickup | Use your assigned bulk day. Do not block sidewalks or travel lanes. |
| Appliances | Retailer pickup or bulk day | When replacing appliances, arrange store pickup where possible. Otherwise check Waste Wizard and bulk day guidance. |
| Branches, wood and tree trimmings | Bulk pickup if prepared correctly | Cut to 4-foot lengths. Keep the pile manageable and safe for crews. |
| Grass clippings | Bulk only if double bagged or boxed | Double bag or place in sealed cardboard boxes. |
| Cactus or sharp yard material | Bulk only if boxed and labeled | Use sealed boxes and clearly label to prevent worker injury. |
| Paint, solvents, pool chemicals, pesticides | HHW appointment or drop-off option | Do not place in bulk, trash or recycling unless the City’s HHW rules say otherwise. |
| Lithium-ion or rechargeable batteries | HHW pickup or approved battery vendor | Never put rechargeable batteries in trash, recycling or bulk collection. |
| Window, glass door, tabletop glass | Not regular bulk pickup | Large glass items are listed as not accepted for bulk collection. |
| Drywall, roofing, concrete, repair debris | Landfill, dumpster or private disposal | Construction repair or demolition material is not regular bulk trash. |
| Dirt, rocks or mulch | Not bulk pickup | Use approved disposal or landscaping material handling. Do not place in bulk pile. |
| Tires, oil, large auto parts, boats | Not bulk pickup | Use another approved disposal route. Do not leave these for City bulk collection. |
Before bulk day, make four piles in your mind: accepted bulk, regular weekly trash, HHW, and landfill/private disposal. If you mix those piles together, pickup can fail.
Household Hazardous Waste in Goodyear: Paint, Batteries, Oil and Chemicals
Residents searching for “Goodyear bulk trash paint,” “battery disposal near me,” “motor oil disposal,” or “pool chemicals pickup” should not use the bulk pile. Goodyear has seasonal residential HHW pickup appointments and a year-round drop-off option through ACTEnviro for eligible customers when pickup is closed or materials exceed pickup limits.
Appointment required
HHW pickup is available to Goodyear sanitation customers with an active account. The City limits pickup to one per residence per seasonal event.
20 lb household limit
Goodyear lists a 20 lb total weight limit, 10 gallons for paints and liquids, and no single container larger than 5 gallons for HHW pickup.
ACTEnviro option
If pickup scheduling is closed or material exceeds the pickup weight limit up to the drop-off allowance, call ACTEnviro at 602-842-9160 for appointment directions.
Use HHW instead of bulk
- Aerosol cans.
- Antifreeze and automotive fluids.
- Car batteries, oil and filters.
- Fire extinguishers.
- Gasoline in a certified container.
- Household cleaners.
- CFLs and fluorescent tubes in labeled boxes.
- Oil-based paint, latex paint, pesticides, pool chemicals and propane tanks.
Still needs another route
- Ammunition or explosives.
- Appliances.
- Medical waste of any kind.
- Landscape waste.
- Radioactive materials.
- Tires.
When Bulk Trash Is Not Enough: Landfill and Transfer Station Options
Goodyear residents may dispose of large items at listed landfill or transfer station locations, and fees may apply. This is useful for oversized cleanouts, items not suited for curbside pickup, and projects that cannot wait for the monthly bulk day.
| Location | Address / phone | Resident note |
|---|---|---|
| Waste Connections Transfer Station | 3000 S. 19th Ave. • 480-983-9101 | Show proof of Goodyear residency for Goodyear rate. No tires accepted. Electronic waste accepted. |
| City of Glendale Municipal Landfill | 11480 W. Glendale Ave. • 623-930-2191 | Show proof of Goodyear residency for Goodyear rate. No tires accepted. Electronic waste accepted. |
| White Tank Transfer Station | 18605 W. McDowell Rd. • 623-853-1707 | Call before driving to confirm hours, fees and accepted materials. |
| Southwest Regional Landfill | 24427 S. State Route 85 • 623-393-0085 | Useful for larger disposal planning; confirm load and material rules first. |
Goodyear’s landfill information lists several items that may not be accepted at landfill sites, including HHW, paint, chemical by-products, unused pesticides, radioactive waste, medical waste, used oil, fuel, batteries and refrigerant appliances unless proper certification is provided.

Check item path first
Furniture and mattresses may fit bulk pickup, but tires, oil, rocks, dirt, mulch, large glass and construction debris do not.
City vs tire brand
This guide is for city trash service in Goodyear, AZ. Tire purchases, tire recycling and tire shop service are separate from City bulk trash.
