Republic Services: Bullhead City residential recycling discontinued; new trash pickup schedule announced

A city presenter said that under the current contract Republic Services handles collection, transportation and disposal of solid waste for Bullhead City residents and businesses, and that residential recycling has been discontinued.

The presenter said both blue and green carts are now trash bins and outlined the pickup schedule: Monday through Thursday collection separated by service areas. Examples given included Monday covering the Silver Creek Road North area and areas west of Highway 95 between Silver Creek and Raymar Road; Tuesday covering the area west of Highway 95 between Hancock Road and Riverview Drive to the Colorado River; Wednesday covering the Riviera area from Hancock Road northward to the Colorado River and areas south of Raymour Road to Mohave Drive; and Thursday covering Chaparral Golf Course, Fox Creek, Arroyo Vista and Clearwater Hills.

Under the current agreement, the city allows six bulk item pickups per residential address per year. Residents seeking scheduling information were told to visit the city website at bullheadcity.com under the community tab (trash, recycling, and bulky item pickups) or to contact Republic Services at (928) 758-0000.

The presenter did not provide the contract start or end dates during the meeting, and did not offer a rationale for ending residential recycling at the time of the announcement.
