Gilbert, Arizona (#76 nationally) is one of the country’s largest towns by population and operates its own municipal Solid Waste Division. Gilbert’s bulk trash program is distinctive: pickup runs every 5 weeks (not weekly or monthly), with no household trash accepted. Large appliances are NOT in the standard bulk program, residents schedule appliance pickups separately for $16 during your bulk week or $85 outside it, with a 2-appliance limit per collection. Gilbert offers 2 free transfer station visits per 30 days at two designated locations. Curbside trash and recycling are unaffected by holidays (a Gilbert advantage), but bulk is suspended during Thanksgiving and Christmas weeks. This guide covers every disposal option for Town of Gilbert residents.
The Gilbert rule for trampolines and playsets: Disassembled, it is bulk trash.

Why trampolines and playsets are different from ordinary bulk. Trampoline springs are under tension and are the injury risk. Use the spring puller that came with the trampoline or a pair of locking pliers, work in a cross pattern so tension releases evenly, and remove the net and pads first. The frame tubes then pull apart by hand or with a rubber mallet.
Three mistakes that get trampolines and playsets left at the curb:
Paid options are for large playsets with concrete footings, in-ground trampolines, and cities with tight bulk limits.
Self-haul to a transfer station
$20 to $60Bundled lumber and a rolled mat load into a pickup or trailer. Transfer stations charge by weight; pressure-treated wood goes as C&D.
Take the steel to a scrap yard first where it is free.
LoadUp paid trampoline or playset pickup

Can a trampoline go out with bulk trash?
Disassembled, yes in most cities: frame tubes bundled, springs bagged, mat and pads rolled or bagged. The steel can also go to a scrap yard free. Check your city’s bundle limits in the directory below.
How do I take down a trampoline?
Remove the net and poles, then the pad. Use the spring puller or locking pliers to unhook springs in a cross pattern (one, then the opposite side, then a quarter turn around). Lift off the mat. Pull the frame tubes apart at the joints with a rubber mallet, and unbolt the legs. Two people, one to two hours.
Can I put playset lumber out for pickup?
Most bulk programs accept dismantled lumber in tied bundles under a length limit (commonly 4 to 6 feet) and a weight limit, with all nails removed or flattened. Pressure-treated wood is accepted as bulk but excluded from yard waste everywhere.
How do I know if the wood is pressure-treated?
Look for a greenish or brownish tint, small incision marks in a grid pattern, or an end tag or stamp. Most residential playsets sold since the 1990s are pressure-treated pine unless marketed as cedar or redwood.
