City of Buckeye residents receive curbside collection once per week and includes recycling service. Pick-up days are determined by your service area. To determine your service area, refer to the Curbside Trash and Recycle Service Schedule.

Recycling Cart Service Requirements

Every residence within Buckeye's corporate city limits must have a solid waste account. Please visit our Start Service page to get started.

What to Recycle?

To help make your recycling count, only recycle clean material and only recycle these items:

• Plastic bottles 
• Cans (drink and food)
• Paper and cardboard
• Glass (new in 2025)

Material should be clean and un-bagged, should not have small pieces or shredded paper, nor plastic bags or film.

How to Place Your Cart

• Place your container on the street the night before collection day
• Place container in front of your house with the wheels adjacent to the curb, on a collection pad with alley service or next to a road with no sidewalk
• Container should be clear of fixed objects
• Keep your trash and recycle carts three feet apart for pickup
• Never on the sidewalk
• In-ground cans:
  • In-ground service includes city authorized staff pulling and returning the trash and recycle cans
  • Residents own and maintain the containers and all associated structures
