Beginning Monday, Oct. 3, the Phoenix Public Works Department will implement new trash and recycling collection days citywide.

The city reminds residents to place their containers at the curb for collection by 5:30 a.m. on the scheduled day of collection. Containers should be placed at least 4-feet apart and away from obstructions, according to the city.
