Servicing your Containers
Please place both garbage and recycling carts out the night prior, or by 6:00 am on your service day (see right map for your service day). The City of Coolidge has a strict Bag and Tie policy, all garbage is to be bagged and tied to reduce potential spills, fly breeding, and odor. Provide ample service space, place the containers three (3) feet apart and ten (10) feet away from other items such as cars, light posts and mail boxes. Recycle material is to be placed into the container loosely. Yard waste, Styrofoam, and plastic bags are not allowed in the recycle container, and these items are considered trash. Learn more about the “Dos & Dont’s” of RAD Recycling on the next page of this welcome brochure. Continued abuse of your recycling container will result in its removal.
