Call between April 4 and 11 to schedule a pickup.
Scheduled pickups will occur:

Here’s how residents can participate:
Residents can request an appointment through the My Surprise app or by calling Customer Service at 623-222-1920, beginning at 8 a.m. Thursday, April 4 through 5 p.m. Thursday, April 11. The call center will not accept appointment requests before April 4 or after April 11.
When calling, customer service representatives will schedule the best available appointment; representatives will inquire about what items are to be collected, discuss volume limitations and direct how items are to be packed.
Acceptable items will need to be placed outside on the driveway and up against the garage by 6 a.m. on the scheduled collection date. Don’t place hazardous waste on sidewalks or curbside.
