Fridges and freezers
Choose Refrigerator for a full-size household fridge. Mini fridges and separate freezers have their own choices. Contact us first if the model or refrigerant needs checking.

The city collects bulky waste by appointment, with two free pickups per unit a year of up to five items each on a one to six unit property.
City cost & eligibility
From $75 for the published charge for an additional bulky collection beyond the free allowance. Every one to six unit non commercial property gets two free pickups per unit a year of five items or fewer, so a one family home has two free pickups, a two family home four and a six family home twelve. Beyond that, an extra collection costs 75.00, or a 10.00 permit covers up to four visits to the transfer station with the resident doing the hauling, and setting bulk items out without a scheduled collection carries a 99.00 fine.
When & how
Call Hartford 311 at 860-757-9311 or Public Works at 860-757-9983 to schedule, and put the listed items curbside after 4 p.m. the night before the appointment or before 7 a.m. on the collection date. Items are not to be placed in roadways or blocking sidewalks.
Get it ready
Schedule first, because items set out without an appointment are a fineable violation. Keep the pile to five items or fewer, put out only the items that were listed on the call, and keep hazardous or toxic material out of the pile entirely, because bulky waste does not include it.
Appliances are named in the city's bulky waste definition, and a unit with refrigerant needs a confirmation because the hazardous waste collections refuse Freon appliances.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. An appliance rides the free bulky allowance, but a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner contains Freon, which the Metropolitan District's household hazardous waste collections refuse and which the packet says some towns handle for a small fee, so call Public Works at 860-757-9983 to confirm how the unit will be taken before it is set out.
When & how
Schedule the pickup with Hartford 311 at 860-757-9311 or Public Works at 860-757-9983, and raise the refrigerant question when the item list is taken.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, keep the doors secured, and keep a refrigerant unit out of a do it yourself transfer station load until Public Works confirms it will be accepted there. Appliance bodies that fit the bulky list go out with the other scheduled items.
Schedule the bulky pickup before anything goes to the curb
Bulky items have to be scheduled first through Hartford 311 at 860-757-9311 or Public Works at 860-757-9983, with the item list given on the call. The pile goes out after 4 p.m. the night before the appointment or before 7 a.m. on the collection date, stays out of roadways and off sidewalks, and holds no more than five items. Setting bulk items out without a scheduled pickup carries a 99.00 fine.
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.

Schedule a city bulky waste collection
A one to six unit non commercial property with appliances, electronics, tires, furniture, mattresses, small bundles of branches or other large items to clear.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Two free pickups per unit a year, each covering five items or fewer, on a one to six unit non commercial property, so a one family home has two free pickups and a six family home twelve. An extra collection beyond the allowance costs 75.00, a 10.00 permit covers up to four transfer station visits, and an unscheduled curbside pile carries a 99.00 fine.
Arrange it
Call Hartford 311 at 860-757-9311 or Public Works at 860-757-9983, give the item list, take the next available collection date, and put the items out after 4 p.m. the night before or before 7 a.m. on that date.
Five items per collection and only the items listed on the call, so an unlisted item is left behind. Hazardous and toxic material is not bulky waste, a commercial property, apartment complex or building over six units is not eligible, and a refrigerant appliance needs a confirmation first.

Buy a transfer station permit and haul it yourself
A household with more than five bulky items, or a load it would rather drive to the transfer station than schedule for curbside collection.
Cost & conditions
From $10 for the published permit for up to four visits to the transfer station. The permit costs 10.00 and covers a maximum of four visits, and it is the city's published alternative to paying 75.00 for each additional curbside bulky collection beyond the free allowance.
Arrange it
Ask Hartford 311 at 860-757-9311 or Public Works at 860-757-9983 for the permit and the transfer station details, then transport the items yourself.
The permit covers four visits only, and the same material limits apply as on a curbside collection, so hazardous and toxic material still has to go to a Metropolitan District collection and a refrigerant appliance still needs to be confirmed with Public Works.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Hartford.
How much does appliance removal cost in Hartford?+
A full-size household refrigerator is $109 as a single item. A washing machine is $109, and a dryer is $109. Other appliances have their own catalog prices. Choose each item to see your exact total before booking; disposal and recycling costs are included in the item price.
Can I get same-day appliance pickup in Hartford?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Your pickup is scheduled for a day rather than an exact arrival appointment, and we text you before arrival. Have the appliance disconnected and ready outside by your pickup readiness time.
Can you take a washing machine and dryer in one pickup?+
Yes. Add one Washing machine and one Dryer so both units are included in the price. They are separate items, even when you bought them as a set. If yours is a single combined unit or the machines still need to be unstacked, contact us before booking to confirm the scope.
Will you disconnect my appliance or carry it out?+
Dropcurb picks up appliances that are already disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange uninstallation, utility disconnection and indoor carrying before pickup. Use a qualified professional for gas, hardwired or plumbing connections when needed. We handle loading and haul-away from the outdoor pickup spot.
Can I book if the delivery company did not take my old appliance?+
Yes. Dropcurb pickup is separate from buying or installing a replacement, so you can book removal on its own. Select the old appliance, choose a pickup day and arrange for it to be disconnected and accessible outside. If your new delivery is still ahead, confirm the retailer’s haul-away arrangements before booking a separate pickup.
How many free bulky pickups does a Hartford address get?+
Two free pickups per unit a year, each covering five items or fewer, on a one to six unit non commercial property. A one family home therefore gets two free pickups, a two family home four, a three family home six and a six family home twelve, and anything beyond that costs 75.00 per additional collection.Official guidance
What counts as bulky waste in Hartford?+
Large solid waste items such as appliances, electronics, small bundles of tree branches, tires, furniture, mattresses and other items too large to fit reasonably in the standard city container. Hazardous or toxic materials are not bulky waste and go to a Metropolitan District hazardous waste collection instead.Official guidance
What happens if I set bulk items out without calling?+
The fine for placing bulk items curbside without a scheduled pickup is 99.00, and items that were not listed on the call are not collected. Schedule with Hartford 311 at 860-757-9311 or Public Works at 860-757-9983 before anything goes to the curb.Official guidance
Can I put a refrigerator out for a Hartford bulky pickup?+
Appliances are named in the city's bulky waste definition, but a unit containing Freon is refused at the Metropolitan District's hazardous waste collections, and the MDC packet sends Freon appliances to the town public works department or transfer station for a small fee. Call Public Works at 860-757-9983 to confirm how the unit will be handled before setting it out.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Hartford?+
The city's Department of Public Works Waste and Recycling Division, for single family homes, multifamily buildings of six units or less and condo associations of six units or less. Hartford 311 answers service questions at 860-757-9311 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and bulky collections are scheduled through 311 or Public Works at 860-757-9983.Official guidance
What does a bulky waste pickup cost in Hartford?+
Two pickups per unit a calendar year are free, each covering five items or fewer, on a one to six unit non commercial property, so a two family home gets four free pickups and a six family home gets twelve. Beyond that, an additional collection costs 75.00, a 10.00 permit covers up to four transfer station visits, and an unscheduled curbside pile carries a 99.00 fine.Official guidance
Where do paint and chemicals go in Hartford?+
To a Metropolitan District household hazardous waste collection, which Hartford residents may attend in any participating town. Hartford's own collection is Saturday, October 24, 2026 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the MDC Operations Facility, 125 Maxim Road, and the regional schedule runs Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. through the year with one Sunday collection on May 17, 2026. Identification is checked and the driver stays in the vehicle while the contractor unloads.Official guidance
Where do electronics go in Hartford?+
Electronics are named in the city's bulky waste definition, so a television or computer can go on a scheduled bulky pickup inside the free allowance, and Connecticut law requires towns to collect computers, televisions, monitors and printers without a fee for those four categories. The MDC packet also lists Green Monster e-cycling in West Hartford, Staples and Best Buy, while the hazardous waste collections take no electronics at all.Official guidance
What happens to leaves and yard waste?+
The city runs a Leaf Collection Program so residents can dispose of fallen leaves before the first heavy snowfall, following the zone schedule posted with the program, and it publishes a summer yard collection sheet as well. Small bundles of tree branches are also named as bulky waste, so branches can go on a scheduled bulky pickup.Official guidance
What if I live in a building with more than six units?+
The city does not collect from commercial property, an apartment complex or a multifamily building with more than six units, and those properties are told to contact their management company or landlord. The bulky waste allowance is written for one to six unit non commercial properties, so a larger building has to arrange disposal privately.Official guidance
