• Town of Guadalupe Trash Pick Up: the town runs its own curbside service twice a week rather than sharing Tempe's. "Trash is picked up is on Tuesdays and Fridays. Trash containers must be located at the curb by 6 am on Tuesdays and Fridays." The page lists the reasons a container is passed over, and one of them settles what happens to a bed put out on an ordinary collection day: pickup will not occur if the container is overfilled or too heavy, if it is blocked by vehicles, or if it contains bulk items. Holidays are narrow: only Independence Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day move service to the following day, and "Memorial Day, Labor Day, MLK Day, Presidents Day and Veterans Day are NOT affected." The town also runs a residents-only yard: "recycling and trash containers are located at the Town of Guadalupe Maintenance Yard, 9040 South Calle Maravilla, Guadalupe, AZ", "open every Saturday from 7 am - noon for the exclusive use of residents." Source Not confirmed: The town does not publish a fee, an accepted-items list or a mattress policy for the Saturday Maintenance Yard containers, so whether a bed may be left there is not established Not confirmed: The town does not name the contractor that operates its curbside collection
