You’ve probably seen one of our inspectors in your neighborhood. Our inspectors help keep your neighborhood clean and safe.

Ensuring all trash is bagged and tied to reduce pests, odors, and spills.
Examining the condition of carts to prevent litter, leakage, and stormwater pollution.
Preparing bulk piles ahead of collection crews for a smooth and efficient process.
Verifying that only accepted items are in recycling carts to reduce contamination and program costs.

The Town of Gilbert is mandated by Maricopa County to ensure that residents bag and tie all trash.

The inspector will provide educational materials on your cart, bulk pile, or at your front door if there is a violation.
