• Coolidge contracts collection to Waste Connections of Arizona and prices it in its own trash schedule: a 96-gallon container on "Once a week pickup $26/month", with a "Setup fee $25", a "Deposit $115", "Delinquent charges 1.5%/month", a "Non-payment container re-establishment fee $30" and container replacement at "$50/container". Larger 300-gallon containers are available for four-plexes and for rural residential areas with director approval. The schedule also prices the one bulk line it publishes: "Bulk trash special non-compliant pickup Minimum $200 plus tipping fees beyond 1 ton." The city's Waste Connections page gives the collection pattern: "Residential service is provided once a week through the use of 95 gallon containers either on a Monday or Thursday depending on the area", and "Please place your garbage/recycling bin out the night before, or by 6am on the day of service." The city's FAQ sets the booking route for bulk: "In order for your bulk trash to be picked up you must contact them and request to be put on their calendar", Waste Connections at (480) 983-9100. Source Not confirmed: No free bulk allowance, frequency, pile size or accepted-items list is published for Coolidge curbside bulk trash, and mattresses are named nowhere Not confirmed: What makes a bulk pile "non-compliant", and therefore whether the $200 minimum applies to an ordinary mattress set-out, is not defined on any city page Not confirmed: The Trash page and the Solid Waste page disagree on frequency: the code-derived text says twice a week for a 96-gallon container while both the rate line and the Waste Connections page say once a week
