- Bulk setout rules — Bulk items are not collected in alleys. Place at the end of your front property within 4 ft of the curb/sidewalk; where restricted access requires container collection on the main right-of-way, place bulk there without blocking it. Loads over 400 lbs are charged by tonnage.
- Alley trash variance — Alley trash collection may differ from the published area map - the city says to call 480-782-3510 to confirm alley-area days.
