The City of Morenci has partnered with Modern Waste Systems, Inc for our garbage pick-up needs.

Garbage is picked up once a week on Wednesday.

Modern Waste Systems does not run on the following holidays:

• New Year's Day

• Memorial Day

• 4th of July

All pickups after the holiday will be delayed one (1) day. All pickups will be caught up by Saturday. If the holiday falls on either a Saturday or Sunday, your pickup day is not affected.
