Pick-up days to change for City of Phoenix’s bulk trash program

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) -- Facing record staffing shortages, city officials in Phoenix say they’re now having to delay bulk trash pickup for certain customers in the city.

Earlier this month, Arizona’s Family reported that about 80% of its residential customers were having their collection days changed starting in October. Now, the city is changing pick-up dates for five of the 13 “zones” that it services for its bulk trash program, which is scheduled to begin in late November.

“We appreciate your patience as our team works to collect the city’s residential bulk trash,” the City of Phoenix Public Works said.
