Place blue recycling cart at curb by 5:00 AM on collection day. Important: Gilbert CHANGED their recycling program and NO LONGER accepts plastics #3-7 or plastic containers that are not bottles/jugs. Only plastic #1 and #2 bottles, jugs, and jars are accepted. Lightly rinse all food and beverage containers. Break down all cardboard boxes. Remove Styrofoam, bubble wrap, and plastic liners from inside boxes. When in doubt, throw it out to avoid contamination. Blue carts are provided by the Town at no additional charge.
Holiday Schedule
Gilbert trash and recycling collection is NEVER delayed for holidays. Your regular collection day remains the same every week of the year, including all major holidays (New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.). This is a significant benefit of Gilbert's municipal solid waste service. However, there is NO bulk trash pickup during the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 2224 E. Queen Creek Road is CLOSED on Town holidays.
