Beginning Monday, Scottsdale will pick up trash and recycling five days per week.

The changes are intended to increase efficiency and to make recycling processing easier.

The existing routes were unbalanced, according to the city website, due to the city's growth patterns. The new schedule is based on the number of homes on a route and the amount of trash or recycling collected, the city said.

The new routes will be more balanced in the hopes of providing more consistent service and increasing the longevity of equipment by not overloading it, according to the city.
