Apache Junction hands its trash to a contractor: the City of Apache Junction says Republic Services runs curbside pickup and the once-a-month bulk route, with your bulk Wednesday set by which stretch between the major north-south roads you live on. If you would rather skip the call-ahead and the pile rules, The Good Life Junk Removal offers junk removal here, loading and hauling furniture, appliances, yard waste and property clean-outs. Send a text or call to (602) 486-2331 with your address so we can confirm we reach your property.

Clearing out a Apache Junction home: what to know.
What tends to matter when the junk is in Apache Junction, from the city’s own rules and the way its neighborhoods are built.
Fence posts and metal stay out of bulk
The City of Apache Junction lists metal, rebar and fence posts among the items the monthly bulk pickup will not take, along with tires, rims and automobile parts. Old fencing, scrap metal and project leftovers from a large lot need another way out than the bulk pile.
Bulk piles wait until the day before
The City of Apache Junction says a bulk pile goes in front of the home on the property, not on the sidewalk, street or alley, more than five feet from any fixed object and no more than 24 hours before pickup, and may be up to six feet long, wide and high. Branches have to be cut to three-foot lengths and tied, so a big yard cleanup takes real prep before it can go out.
Seasonal homes and service holds
The City of Apache Junction says seasonal residents can put trash service on hold once a year for up to six months, and a 2010 housing assessment prepared for the Arizona Department of Housing describes large numbers of RVs and seasonal residents in the city. The weeks around a seasonal arrival or departure can be a natural time to clear out a garage or patio.
Mobile home parks run separate trash
The City of Apache Junction counts mobile home parks that have their own solid waste contracts as commercial under its trash contract, and it honors existing HOA hauler contracts until they expire. The 2010 housing assessment for the Arizona Department of Housing calls mobile homes the predominant housing type in the city, so anyone clearing out a park home should ask the park office what its dumpsters accept first.
Washes cross the south side
The City of Apache Junction's development code notes large washes across the Lost Dutchman Heights area south of Baseline Avenue, including two FEMA-designated floodplain washes, Weekes Wash and Siphon Draw. On lots near desert washes, it makes sense to stage junk away from drainage paths so storm runoff cannot carry it off.
Contractor debris skips the bulk route
The City of Apache Junction says the bulk pickup does not take bricks, concrete, asphalt, dirt and rocks, roofing, glass doors and mirrors, or any construction materials generated by a contractor, and that the service is not for construction or demolition debris. The City of Apache Junction lists a resident rate at the Apache Junction Landfill of $11.30 for up to 500 pounds plus ADEQ fees, and Republic Services requires hard hats and vests on site.

From a customer
I used Jaime and his crew for the final clean up after an estate sale at my mother's home in Ahwatukee. They removed a hot tub as well as all remaining items in the home. The place was left cleaner than it had been before the sale. They thought of everything and had all the equipment needed on site. The estate agent said it was the best clean up job she had ever seen!
