ALLEY COLLECTION GUIDELINES

In some parts of Scottsdale, residential refuse collection is provided via 300-gallon shared containers placed in alleys. Please follow the same refuse guidelines provided above.

Please do not re-position alley containers – we position them to provide best access to all users and away from overhead hazards.

The city and residents share responsibility for maintaining unpaved alleys in Scottsdale

In general:

Do not place rocks, landscaping gravel, dirt or construction waste in the alley or in the container (Materials such as these must be taken to the landfill)
Do not plant trees or shrubs in alleys
Control grass and weeds to reduce fire hazards
Trim trees that overhang into the alley to your fence line and to an overhead clearance of 15 feet
Report illegal dumping to Solid Waste Management (preferably with a vehicle description and license plate number) via phone call 480-312-5600 or Email Scottsdale Solid Waste
