Lake Havasu City, AZ trash pickup by address.

Trash / garbage: Friday.

The day above is an example from one Lake Havasu City address, last checked on September 11, 2026.

Because crews start before dawn, carts should go to the street the night before — items set out after trucks roll aren't guaranteed pickup.

Collection runs on all but a few major holidays, and after each of those, pickup lands one day later.

Collection crews start at 5 a.m. and the city is not responsible for anything put at the curb after that, so carts should go out to the street the night before service.

Place the cart within three feet of the street with four feet of clearance between carts or any other fixed object.

Position it as close to the street as possible but not in the street, with the wheels facing toward the house and the lid closed.
