Container size is also a determining factor on if an item will be accepted.  Container's larger than 16-gallons pose unique problems for HPCC staff.  The configuration of the drop off point does not provide an area where containers this size can be safely unloaded.  

For assistance with these size of containers please telephone the HPCC at 480-858-2223 or email .  A staff member will set up a time to come out and see the condition of the containers and schedule a pick-up.
