Trash and recycling are each collected once a week, and green waste goes on the same day as the blue barrel. Look up your days by address on the city's ExploreMesa map.

Cleaning bins in Mesa?

Bins get cleaned right after pickup, so when a holiday moves trash day, your route moves with it. In Clean Bin System you give each zone its hauler and add the hauler’s holidays once: that week’s cleanings move with the pickup, and each customer gets a text. See how it works
