"Bag and Tie" Program

Arizona and local ordinances require residents to seal garbage that can cause unsanitary conditions and breeding of flies before placing it in the BLACK barrel.

Examples of waste that needs to be "bagged & tied" include

  • Food Waste
  • Wet Grasses (unless they are going into the green barrel)
  • Animal Waste

Mesa's Quality Assurance Inspectors find a large number of unsealed or paper garbage bags containing food waste in the black refuse barrels on collection days.  Please help maintain the sanitary conditions for a safe environment by bagging and tying your trash.

Don't forget to
'bag & tie'
your trash
before placing
it into the
BLACK barrel!

If you have any questions about recycling or refuse collection, call the Solid Waste Management Department at (480) 644-2688.

 
Remember to RECYCLE!
