The City will no longer deliver bags to resident’s yards. Look for your voucher in the mail to obtain your black trash and blue recycling bags. This new program is an effort to save cost on thousands of bags that go unused each year. You can help us reduce costs by redeeming the voucher only when you need additional bags...help us reduce our carbon footprint!

Guidelines for redeeming your vouchers:
• You will receive one voucher to redeem for black trash bags and one to redeem for blue recycling bags.
• Take your voucher to one of the local retail stores listed on the reverse side.
• You will not be charged for the bags, but you must have a voucher to receive your bags at no charge.
• Vouchers are redeemable one time only, as they are tracked by barcode and therefore can not be duplicated.
• If you need additional blue recycling bags, contact Phoenix Recycling and another voucher will be mailed to you at no cost (does not apply to black trash bags).
• You will receive vouchers each April, August and December, around the 10th of the month.

Questions about the voucher system may be directed to Phoenix Recycling at 1-800-866-3954, or Click here for link to Request Form at Phoenix Recycling if you did not receive your voucher.
