Set-out rules
Cart and set-out rules in Tucson.
Set your green garbage container out by 6 a.m. on collection day, since pickup times along a route vary.
Place it within one foot of the curb with the lid opening toward the street, leaving at least three feet between containers and clear of parked cars, mailboxes, and other obstacles.
Containers should not sit at the curb on non-service days and need to be put away once they have been emptied.
Some neighborhoods share a 300-gallon alley bin instead, where each household is allotted about a third of the space and lids must face the center of the alley.

How days are assigned

Tucson publishes its collection routes as a map (City of Tucson Environmental & General Services): each route area carries a fixed weekday for trash; the lookup reads that area for your address.
Trash is collected weekly and recycling every other week.
We last checked Tucson on August 17, 2026: 11 of 12 addresses returned an exact collection day. The days they returned were Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. That is what our check saw, not a full list of Tucson's pickup days.

Why does my Tucson address show no collection day?
