City collection Wooden furniture, couches, chairs, recliners and carpeting are on the town's burnable bulky list, so a furniture load rides the hauler appointment. $25 each bulky waste appointment beyond the free per unit allowance, with furniture itself carrying no separate charge. East Hartford one to six family properties inside their free per unit allowance book at no charge, and every appointment past the allowance is charged and paid by card.
City collection The transfer station takes mattresses and box springs but refuses futon mattresses. The curbside bulky list is headed with mattresses without naming one in its examples, so a curbside mattress is worth confirming with the hauler. Confirm the mattress charge, and whether a curbside appointment takes bedding, with the hauler on 860-289-7850 or Public Works on 860-291-7374.
City collection Appliances sit on the metal list for the curbside appointment, and the transfer station also takes appliances if a household would rather haul the unit itself. The curbside appointment is covered by the free per unit allowance or the flat charge for an extra appointment, and any transfer station charge is confirmed with Public Works on 860-291-7374.
City collection Household rubbish and single stream recyclables are kept out of a bulky pile and handled on the regular collection route and at the transfer station's recycling drop off. Confirm the current service charge with Public Works on 860-291-7374 when the account changes.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
East Hartford books bulky waste through its hauler rather than a town permit. A resident calls All American Waste, and the free allowance depends on how many units the property holds, with a six item limit at the curb for each appointment. Wooden furniture, carpeting, bundled yard clippings and a long list of metal items, from a refrigerator with its doors off to a swing set, all ride that route. Car parts with tires and batteries, building demolition material, electronics and hazardous waste do not, and they go to the town transfer station on Ecology Drive, where brush, passenger vehicle tires, appliances and scrap metal are taken instead.
Bulky waste moves on an appointment with the town's hauler rather than on the regular collection day. The free allowance depends on how many units the property holds, and only six items may go to the curb at one time.
City cost & eligibility
$25 each bulky waste appointment beyond the free per unit allowance, paid by credit or debit card. Single and two family properties receive two free pickups per unit each fiscal year from July to June, and three to six family properties receive four free pickups per unit. Appointments are booked with All American Waste on 860-289-7850.
When & how
Call the hauler for an appointment and put no more than six items at the curb for that day. The fiscal year allowance runs from July to June.
Get it ready
Keep bags, cardboard boxes, recyclables and household rubbish out of the bulky pile, because all four are refused. Group the material the way the town lists it, with drain fluids out of a mower or snowblower, the doors off a refrigerator or freezer, and any bundle of pipe or fencing kept within four feet and clear of a concrete base.
Wooden furniture, couches, chairs, recliners and carpeting are on the town's burnable bulky list, so a furniture load rides the hauler appointment.
City cost & eligibility
$25 each bulky waste appointment beyond the free per unit allowance, with furniture itself carrying no separate charge. East Hartford one to six family properties inside their free per unit allowance book at no charge, and every appointment past the allowance is charged and paid by card.
When & how
Book the appointment with the hauler, then set the pieces at the curb for that day within the six item limit.
Get it ready
Break the pieces down where it helps the crew, keep the load inside the six item limit, and keep it out of bags and boxes, which are refused. A sleeper sofa is worth checking first, because the town lists the metal insert as an accepted metal item, and anything still usable is better donated than hauled.
Appliances sit on the metal list for the curbside appointment, and the transfer station also takes appliances if a household would rather haul the unit itself.
City cost & eligibility
The curbside appointment is covered by the free per unit allowance or the flat charge for an extra appointment, and any transfer station charge is confirmed with Public Works on 860-291-7374.
When & how
Book the bulky appointment with the hauler, or bring the unit to the transfer station during its open hours.
Get it ready
Remove the doors from a refrigerator or freezer before the appointment, drain the fluid from a mower or snowblower, and take the propane tank off a grill. Keep the appliance out of bags and boxes and out of the ordinary rubbish, because the hauler refuses both on a bulky load.
The transfer station takes mattresses and box springs but refuses futon mattresses. The curbside bulky list is headed with mattresses without naming one in its examples, so a curbside mattress is worth confirming with the hauler.
City cost & eligibility
Confirm the mattress charge, and whether a curbside appointment takes bedding, with the hauler on 860-289-7850 or Public Works on 860-291-7374.
When & how
Bring the bedding to the transfer station during its open hours, or ask the hauler about the curbside appointment before setting it out.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and inside until the route is settled, and leave a futon mattress out of a transfer station load because that station refuses it. A mattress that is still clean is worth offering for reuse before it is disposed of.
Scrap metal has its own place on the curbside bulky list and at the transfer station, which both take a wide range of metal items.
City cost & eligibility
The curbside appointment is covered by the per unit allowance or the flat charge for an extra one, and any transfer station charge is confirmed with Public Works on 860-291-7374.
When & how
Add the metal to a bulky appointment with the hauler, or bring it to the transfer station during its open hours.
Get it ready
Bundle pipe and fencing within the four foot limit and take the concrete base off fencing first. Keep the piece whole enough for the crew to handle, and leave car parts, including tires and batteries, out of the curbside pile because they are refused there.
Bundled yard clippings and limbs go out on a bulky appointment, and the transfer station takes brush without stumps and yard waste in compostable kraft paper bags only.
City cost & eligibility
The curbside route is covered by the bulky allowance or the flat charge for an extra appointment, and any transfer station charge is confirmed with Public Works on 860-291-7374.
When & how
Book the bulky appointment for a bundled load, or bring the material to the transfer station on a Monday, Tuesday or Friday or on the first or third Saturday.
Get it ready
Cut limbs to four feet or less, no thicker than six inches, and tie them in bundles no larger than three feet. At the transfer station, yard waste has to be in compostable kraft paper bags, plastic bags are not accepted, and stumps are refused there even though brush is taken.
Tires are refused on the curbside bulky route as car parts, and the transfer station takes passenger vehicle tires instead.
City cost & eligibility
The tire route runs through the town transfer station, and its charge is confirmed with Public Works on 860-291-7374 before loading.
When & how
Bring the tires to the transfer station on a Monday, Tuesday or Friday between 7:15 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. or between 12:30 p.m. and 2:35 p.m., or on the first or third Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1:45 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep tires off the bulky pile, where car parts including tires and batteries are refused, and keep them out of the ordinary rubbish. Bring passenger vehicle size tires rather than truck sizes, and check the holiday schedule before the trip.
Household rubbish and single stream recyclables are kept out of a bulky pile and handled on the regular collection route and at the transfer station's recycling drop off.
City cost & eligibility
Confirm the current service charge with Public Works on 860-291-7374 when the account changes.
When & how
On the regular collection day for the property, or at the transfer station for a condo or apartment resident using the recycling drop off.
Get it ready
Keep recyclables and household rubbish out of a bulky appointment, because both are refused there along with anything in a bag or a cardboard box. Single stream recyclables including corrugated cardboard are taken at the transfer station, and the town publishes a trash and recycling calendar for the collection days.
Bulky waste runs on an appointment with All American Waste on 860-289-7850, not on the regular collection day. A one or two family property has two free pickups per unit each fiscal year, a three to six family property has four, and each appointment past that is charged and paid by card. Set the items out for the booked day only.
Only six items go to the curb per appointment, and they should be grouped and prepared the way the town lists them: drain the fluids from a mower or snowblower, remove refrigerator and freezer doors, take the propane tank off a grill, and keep bundled pipe and fencing within four feet and clear of concrete bases. Bags, boxes, recyclables and household rubbish never go in a bulky pile.
Yard clippings and limbs go out bundled on a bulky appointment, with limbs cut to four feet or less, no thicker than six inches, and tied in bundles no larger than three feet. At the transfer station the same material has to be in compostable kraft paper bags, and stumps are refused there even though loose brush is accepted.
The transfer station opens Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 7:15 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. and again from 12:30 p.m. to 2:35 p.m., and on the first and third Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. Holidays can change that, so the town asks residents to check the Public Works page or call 860-291-7374 first. Hazardous waste including batteries, concrete and masonry, soil, stumps and propane tanks are refused at the gate.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
