Collection FAQ's

To request a replacement trash cart, please email us at utilities@bensonaz.gov or call us at 520-586-2245.

To guarantee trash collection on a scheduled collection day we encourage you to:

  • Place your container out at the curb by 5:00 AM or the night prior to pickup.
  • Make sure there is nothing preventing the collection of your trash cart, we recommend 6 feet from each side.
  • Place the container with the lid completely closed and facing the towards street.

If you followed these suggestions and your trash collection was missed please contact us at utilities@bensonaz.gov or by phone at 520-586-2245.

If your scheduled trash collection falls on a federal holiday, typically the pickup will be the day before/after. Please check the alerts on the City of Benson website or Facebook page. If you have any questions please contact utilities@bensonaz.gov or by phone at 520-586-2245.
