City of Tucson
We pay $17.06 a month for once a week garbage collection, recycling collection and twice a year bulky brush item pick up. During these bulk and brush pick ups

People are everywhere collecting everything and no one seems to care. As for the city they have a 7 or 8 man crew they bring Tractor, bobcat hauled on flat bed trailers. Separate drivers for each, Garbage truck with 2 guys and then a truck that comes latter to get the tires. And then a street sweeper comes to clean up.
So it seems like as you can only place item out two weeks before the clean up so it should only be illegal to remove items during the two weeks prior and during the clean up week! Any other time someone puts something out no problem. Actually they would be violating the law for not having the item in there trash can.
