In the city of Chandler, the heat is not only rising, but so are the new operational guidelines for local trash mavens. If you're looking to toss out last season's debris, the Chandler Recycling-Solid Waste Collection Center (RSWCC) has rolled out new summer hours for residents seeking to discard their rubbish responsibly. Starting May 30 and running through to September 1, you can drop your refuse at 955 E. Queen Creek Road from the crisp hours of 6 a.m. until the stroke of 2 p.m., Thursday to Monday, just make sure to avoid Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when the facility will be closed, alongside city-observed holidays.

According to the city's announcement, the RSWCC is a self-service venue where locals can come to quickly unload their unwanted items. The facility is well equipped to handle a vast array of bulkier cast-offs, from yard waste and broken furniture to scrap metal and too-often-forgotten cardboard. For those looking thoroughly to understand what can be dumped, the full list of accepted materials is obtainable by visiting Chandler's Recycling-Solid Waste Collection Center.

Keep in mind, Chandler's civic responsibilities haven't slackened; each resident aiming to make a drop-off must present a photo ID along with a recent City of Chandler utility bill showing city-provided solid waste services from the past two months. The RSWCC is quite strict, accepting only the refuse from the address listed on the bill provided.

If you've got questions about what can or can't be tossed, or you just need to clarify any point of confusion, Chandler's Solid Waste Services is standing by to assist. Don't hesitate to give them a buzz at 480-782-3510 or to more comprehensively scour for information, stake out a visit to Recycling-Solid Waste Collection Center. With the summer sun aiming to quickly heat the Arizona skyline, it might just be the ideal time to rid yourself of old waste and breathe a sigh of relief into the new season.
