Regular household service
Trash and recycling service
Start here for the recurring household collections residents use most often.
Waste Management and Waste Connections both serve Maricopa addresses. The City does not publish one universal cart day because residents do not all use the same collection account.
Ask the household provider for curbside recycling rules. The old City Waste and Recycling Center closed in August 2023; the City lists current private recycling and landfill alternatives.

How Maricopa service works
Check the provider name on the household account. The City currently lists Waste Management at 602-268-2222 and Waste Connections at 480-983-9101. Ask that company what the address's plan includes before placing large items outside.
Maricopa service depends on the address
Contact the company shown on your trash bill
The City of Maricopa does not operate one citywide residential trash and bulk route. Homes use private providers, principally Waste Management or Waste Connections, so the pickup schedule and bulky item allowance come from the account serving the address.
Maricopa lists private companies rather than one municipal collection program.
Use the account address to check available large-item service.
Ask for the bulky-item rules attached to the current service plan.
The City publishes current landfill and private recycling alternatives.
Common questions
Maricopa trash service questions
Why is there no single Maricopa bulk schedule?
Maricopa residences use private waste companies. The provider and service plan on the household account determine whether bulky collection is included or purchased separately.
How do I identify my Maricopa provider?
Check the company name on the trash cart or bill. The City currently lists Waste Management and Waste Connections for residential waste service.
Can I take large items to the old City recycling center?
No. The City says that center closed in August 2023 and lists Recycle Today Maricopa, Butterfield Landfill, and Rainbow Valley Landfill as current alternatives.
City rules at a glance
Local limits before placement
There is no single City allowance. Pickup frequency, item limits, and charges depend on the private service plan for the address.
Use only the date and location confirmed by the household's provider. Maricopa code does not allow residents to leave debris on property they do not control.
Local detail that matters
What makes Maricopa service different
The answer must start with the address's current provider. A Maricopa mailing address alone does not establish a City collection day or bulky item allowance.
