Surprise highlights recycling, hazardous‑waste pickup, bulk trash rules and roll‑off rentals
Summary
City staff outlined recycling procedures at a local WM processing facility, household hazardous waste pickup rules (HHW), bulk trash allowances (20 cu yd/year per resident), and roll‑off container rental sizes and guidance.
Staff reviewed how residents’ commingled recyclables are processed at the WM materials facility in northwest Surprise, describing manual presorts, optical sorters, magnets for metals, and balers. Officials urged residents to place loose recyclables (clean bottles, cans, paper and cardboard) in the blue cart and avoid bagging materials that contaminate the stream.
The city also described household hazardous waste pickup procedures and scheduling, and noted bulk trash allowances — each Surprise resident is allowed up to 20 cubic yards per year at no extra charge — with scheduling instructions and a phone number for customer service. Roll‑off container rental sizes (16, 20, 30 and 40 cubic yards) and guidance for safe placement were provided, along with contact details and links to surpriseaz.gov resources.
