Solid Waste Container Replacement Continues

Kingman, AZ – The City of Kingman Solid Waste Department has begun the next phase of removing the 300-gallon shared trash containers from alleys and streets and providing each customer with their own 90-gallon container to be placed at the front of their home.

The next phase of the project will include the following downtown areas:
• Beale Street North
• 9th Street west to Metcalf Road

There will be no additional charge for having an individual container instead of a shared one in the alley. For those customers getting a replacement container, trash pick-up days will remain the same.

This project will be completed in multiple phases over the next couple of years. The City greatly appreciates residents’ patience during this transition.

As a friendly reminder and to best serve the citizens, here are some tips to ensure your container gets picked up:
• Please place it curbside at the street by 6:00 A.M. the day of pick up.
• Keep it six feet away from parked vehicles, gas meters, and mailboxes.
• Container lids should be kept closed. Do not overfill it.
• Bulk trash pickups are available for larger items that cannot fit inside your container. To schedule a bulk trash pickup, please call 928-692-3115.

For questions regarding this transition, please contact Solid Waste Superintendent Ed Tapia at 928-692-3102.
