  Once you have placed your request for a special collection it takes the City between 5 to 10 working days to collect such items from the properties. Calls are taken on a first come first serve basis. Waste must be placed in an area that will not obstruct pedestrian sidewalks or traffic and must be placed as close as possible to the edge of the curb, within a distance of 5 feet from the edge of the curb.
  
  
• Illegal Dumping: The City has a team of Environmental Enforcement Officers that investigates illegal dumping throughout the City of El Paso. Individuals can call and report illegal dumping on the 541-4560 number. Individuals or owners of the property are put on notice to clean up all illegal dumping and if they fail to comply within the time limit, it then is transferred to the Department of Environmental Services where they send City employees to clean the illegal dumping.
  
  
• Alley Cleaning: The City has a crew that is going around cleaning all alleys located throughout the City of El Paso. Citizens who have alleys located behind their homes are responsible for maintaining those areas as free of debris and overgrown weeds. The crew is going around at least once a year to help with illegal dumping and clean up efforts. Environmental Enforcement is going around and advising residents that they are responsible for maintaining and keeping their alleys clean at all times.
