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.

Common questions
Questions residents ask.
Why does my Tucson address show no collection day?
Tucson runs city collection for most homes, and we tell you when yours is not one of them. Apartments, commercial sites and some streets are served by a private hauler under contract instead, and for those the day comes from your hauler rather than the city — we say so rather than showing a day that is not yours.
