City of Glendale - Sanitation

Our Business Is Picking Up

The city of Glendale’s Sanitation Division provides a variety of residential and commercial services. Garbage and recycling is collected weekly and bulk (loose) trash is collected monthly. In addition, the city operates the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) where recyclable materials are sorted and prepared for sale, as well as the municipal landfill.

Spring household hazardous waste pick-up

The city of Glendale is providing residents an opportunity to safely and conveniently dispose of unwanted household hazardous waste. Residents can have their waste items picked up from their home, by making an appointment between March 3 and 28. The actual collections will be handled March 24 through April 11.

Hazardous materials that will be accepted include paints and wood stains, antifreeze and other automotive fluids, motor oil and filters, car batteries, pesticides, pool chemicals and household cleaners. Items that are unacceptable are explosives, radioactive materials, tires, drums, ammunition and medical or business wastes. There is a 20-gallon limit on paint, oil, gasoline, antifreeze and other automotive liquids. No single container may be larger than 5-gallons. All items should be in their original containers and must be clearly marked to identify their contents.

This collection will also be offered again in the fall. To make your appointment call the Sanitation Division at 623-930-2660.
