Bisbee's rubbish is collected by the City. Its map publishes the areas with no street list and no names — each one is labelled only by the day it goes out — so the quickest way to find yours is to type your address. Old Bisbee is collected twice a week; everywhere else once.
The City says it runs seven residential routes. Its map draws them as areas that fall into six different collection-day patterns, which is what you see below — a route and a collection day are not quite the same thing here, and the day is the part you need.
The dates already have the City's published holiday changes applied, so the week of a holiday shows the day the City said it would be rather than the usual one.
6 collection areas, each with its own day or days.

The City picks up yard debris at no charge, up to two cubic yards, with branches no longer than three feet. Ring Public Works on 520-432-6002 to arrange it.
Used appliances and furniture are collected for a $30 fee, also on 520-432-6002. They are not part of the weekly route.
Complaints and problems with garbage service go to Public Works on 520-432-6002. The City also lends equipment and hauling for neighbourhood clean-up campaigns.
Recycling in Bisbee is drop-off at the City's recycling stations rather than a kerbside collection, and the City runs it with its own recycling staff. Station locations and opening hours change; the Sanitation Division page is where the City posts them.
City of Bisbee Public Works — Sanitation
Public Works is at 118 Arizona Street and the department line is 520-432-6001. If this page puts you on the wrong route, the City's map wins — and please tell us with the correction link at the foot of the page so we can fix it.
| Monday and Thursday |
| Tombstone Canyon Road, Gentry Avenue, Star Avenue, Spring Canyon Road, West Boulevard, Garden Avenue |
The routes and their days are the City's. The example streets are not — they are streets that fall inside each of the City's route outlines, taken from OpenStreetMap, and are here only so you can recognise your area at a glance. If your street is not listed that means nothing; use the address box.
The routes and their days are the City’s own published map. Placing an address on that map is done here, with the US Census Bureau’s public address finder, which puts a house within about 70 m of where it really is in this town — good enough in the middle of a route and not good enough at its edge, which is why this page says so when yours is close to one.
Town Tools builds free, public tools for Bisbee and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.
