Residents are responsible for remodeling and construction debris (lumber, drywall, roofing material, carpet, tile, countertops, sheet glass or mirrors). Make sure your contractor hauls this stuff away.

Alley Maintenance is the responsibility of the Scottsdale resident. When starting a remodeling or construction project, debris must be contained away from the alley, inside your fence-line. Arrangements must be made for its proper disposal. It is also illegal to place cement, concrete, dirt, rocks, or construction/remodeling debris in the alley, or inside any city trash container.

Remember that each homeowner is responsible for the manner in which material is placed out for collection, whether or not you hire someone else to do the work. Please separate your brush and bulk pickup into two piles – one for green waste and one for everything else.

• Please stack items neatly, parallel to the street on your front property line, only if you do not have an alley way.
• If you have an alley way, please place all bulk trash on your side of the alley along your property line only and keep the alley clear so our crews can collect the material.
• The piles should not exceed 10 feet long by 6 feet wide by 4 feet tall. Please place the bulk waste and green waste piles at least three feet apart from each other.
• Do not place brush and bulk items in empty lots, washes or HOA common areas.
• The Brush & Bulk crew allocates 20 minutes per residential pile, if larger than the 10 feet long by 6 feet wide by 4 feet tall dimension. Any items remaining after the crew has completed their service will be the responsibility of the resident to manage and properly remove within 72 hours of notice.

3 DAY RULE - Residents may place bulk/brush out for collection no sooner than 3 days prior to the Monday of scheduled collection week.

• Cut tree limbs into 6-foot segments and stacked neatly so that all cut ends point in the same direction.
• Tree limbs and other objects must be less than 12 inches in diameter.
• To ensure safe collection, please separate glass from other items. Place glass in small, sturdy cardboard boxes, clearly labeled. Boxes should not exceed dimensions of 2'x2'x2'. Please note that Brush & Bulk will only collect glass that is boxed appropriately.
• Place yard clippings (grass, leaves, palm tree skins and bark) in plastic bags. Bags must be securely tied.
• Place cacti in sturdy closed boxes with lids. Boxes should be 2’x2’x2’ or smaller. Saguaro cactus should be cut to 6 feet.
• Our crews will only remove large debris. The equipment we use often leaves behind small debris, which is the homeowner’s responsibility to cleanup.
• Do not place bulk trash on or within four feet of city-owned containers or bins, water meters, cable boxes, fire hydrants, block walls or other fixed objects.
