Pile within 4 feet of the sidewalk edge, on your side, parallel to the street, and at least 2 feet from bins, meters, hydrants and walls. No higher than 6 feet.
Separate piles for appliances, tree limbs and green waste. Cut limbs into 4-foot pieces, under 12 inches across.
Yard clippings go in tied plastic bags; glass in small taped boxes labeled “glass”; cacti boxed (saguaro pieces 3 feet or shorter).
Not accepted: soil, rock, concrete, shingles, brick, drywall, tile, whole trunks or stumps, tires, oil, paint, batteries, pool chemicals and foam packing.

Tires go to the landfill, where Glendale residents can drop off five free.
