City collection Oversized and bulky items are collected on Thursdays for a per stop fee that covers up to two items, and the household books the stop by Wednesday afternoon. $30 per oversized or bulk collection stop of up to two items. Paid to the contractor at the time the pickup is scheduled, by card over the phone, check by mail or cash at the contractor's office, with no refund once the stop is scheduled or if someone else removes the items. Mattresses and box springs, tires and televisions carry their own additional prices.
City collection A clean mattress or box spring recycles free at the town Transfer Station, while a curbside bulk stop prices the set per piece. No charge. Free at the Transfer Station through the Connecticut mattress stewardship programme with proof of residency, or 35 dollars each when collected as part of a paid bulk stop. The free route only takes clean, undamaged sets.
City collection Appliances, scrap metal and vehicle batteries go to the Transfer Station rather than onto a bulk stop or into the rubbish. No charge. The Transfer Station accepts appliances, scrap metal and vehicle batteries from residents with proof of residency, and its published item list attaches no separate fee to them. Bulk stops are for the furniture and bulky items on that list instead.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Newington collects oversized and bulky items on Thursdays through the contractor that runs the town programme, one stop covering up to two items with mattresses, tires and televisions priced separately, and the household has to book by Wednesday afternoon because stops are capped each week. Two items a week are allowed, everything has to be liftable by two people, and acceptable material runs from sofas and desks to rolled carpet and bundled branches. The town Transfer Station on Main Street is the free side of the system: clean mattresses and box springs go through the state stewardship programme at no cost, televisions and electronics are dropped there, and yard vegetation is handled at the Vegetation Disposal Area with a free permit. Leaves get their own curbside collection in the fall and their own drop off hours the rest of the year.

City cost & eligibility
$30 per oversized or bulk collection stop of up to two items. Paid to the contractor at the time the pickup is scheduled, by card over the phone, check by mail or cash at the contractor's office, with no refund once the stop is scheduled or if someone else removes the items. Mattresses and box springs, tires and televisions carry their own additional prices.
When & how
Call the contractor to book a Thursday collection, leaving the address and the item details, and finish the booking by Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. because only 165 stops are scheduled each week on a first come first served basis. Items go to the curb the night before because the routes start early.
Get it ready
Keep each stop to two items and to material two people can lift into the truck, which covers wooden and upholstered furniture, sofas and couches, desks, tables and chairs. Carpet has to be cut into four foot lengths, rolled and tied with five rolls allowed a week, and branches or lumber no thicker than four inches have to be cut into four foot lengths and bundled and tied with five bundles allowed a week. Hazardous material, motor vehicle batteries and construction or demolition debris such as roofing shingles, sheetrock and fencing are refused.
A clean mattress or box spring recycles free at the town Transfer Station, while a curbside bulk stop prices the set per piece.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free at the Transfer Station through the Connecticut mattress stewardship programme with proof of residency, or 35 dollars each when collected as part of a paid bulk stop. The free route only takes clean, undamaged sets.
When & how
Drop the set at the Transfer Station on 2045 Main Street during its weekend hours, or add it to a Thursday bulk booking through the contractor.
Get it ready
Keep the set clean, dry and undamaged, because a heavily soiled, torn or infested mattress is refused, and leave a mattress pad, topper, pillow, sleeping bag, air mattress, water bed or futon out of the load since those are not part of the programme. Stack the set properly inside the container, because nothing may be left outside it.
Televisions can go on a paid bulk stop, where the first set costs more than each additional one, or to the Transfer Station for recycling at no cost.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free at the Transfer Station, which accepts televisions along with electronics and fluorescent bulbs from residents with proof of residency, or 15 dollars for the first television and 5 dollars for each additional set on a bulk stop.
When & how
Take the set to the Transfer Station on 2045 Main Street during its weekend hours, or add it to a Thursday bulk booking if the stop is already being made.
Get it ready
Keep the set out of the rubbish and bring it intact, and note that the bulk collection prices a television differently from the rest of the load, with only sets over 19 inches listed among the acceptable bulky items.
Appliances, scrap metal and vehicle batteries go to the Transfer Station rather than onto a bulk stop or into the rubbish.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The Transfer Station accepts appliances, scrap metal and vehicle batteries from residents with proof of residency, and its published item list attaches no separate fee to them. Bulk stops are for the furniture and bulky items on that list instead.
When & how
Bring the material to the Transfer Station on 2045 Main Street during its weekend hours.
Get it ready
Keep metal out of the rubbish cart and out of the vegetation area, where metal is prohibited, and keep vehicle batteries out of the bulk load because the bulk programme refuses them and points to the town landfill.
Leaves are collected curbside each fall and the rest of the year goes to the Transfer Station or the permitted Vegetation Disposal Area.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The curbside leaf collection is part of the town programme, the Transfer Station takes grass and leaves from residents with proof of residency, and the Vegetation Disposal Area permit is free, issued at the Highway Department or the Town Clerk's office.
When & how
Rake leaves to the front of the property beside the street during the November and December collection, or bring them to the Transfer Station on 2045 Main Street, which takes leaves and grass on Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. between April 1 and December 31 and on Saturdays only from January 1 through March 31.
Get it ready
Never leave leaves in barrels, plastic bags or cardboard boxes and never mix them with branches, sticks or household trash, because a mixed load is not picked up and state law requires leaves to be collected separately from trash. At the Vegetation Disposal Area, bring only vegetation from your own property, display the windshield permit, and keep household trash, glass, plastic, rubber, metal, construction wood, cement, asphalt, concrete, stone, masonry rubble and soil out entirely.
Bulk collection runs on Thursdays and the household books it with the contractor by Wednesday at 1:00 p.m., because only 165 stops are scheduled each week on a first come first served basis. Two items are allowed per week, the items go to the curb the night before because routes start early, and the per stop fee covers the first two items with mattresses, tires and televisions priced separately.
Anything on the bulk list has to be loadable by two people, so carpet is cut into four foot lengths, rolled and tied with five rolls allowed a week, and branches or lumber under four inches thick are cut to four feet and bundled and tied with five bundles allowed a week. Hazardous material, vehicle batteries and construction or demolition debris such as shingles, sheetrock and fencing are refused and go elsewhere.
During the fall collection leaves are raked to the front of the property beside the street and never into the street or across a sidewalk. Leaves in barrels, plastic bags or cardboard boxes, or mixed with branches, sticks or household trash, are not picked up, and state law requires leaves to be kept out of the rubbish and recycling containers.
The Transfer Station at 2045 Main Street is open Saturday only 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from January 3 through March 31 and on Saturday and Sunday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from April 1 through December 31. With proof of residency it takes clean mattresses and box springs, televisions, electronics, appliances, scrap metal, vehicle batteries, fluorescent bulbs, propane tanks, textiles, waste oil in containers no larger than 2.5 gallons, and grass and leaves.
The vegetation area needs a permit and clean loads
The Vegetation Disposal Area at 2045 Main Street, south of Churchill Park, is for Newington residents other than apartment and condominium complexes and requires a free permit from the Highway Department or the Town Clerk's office, issued after showing a licence and the registration of a town registered vehicle. Only vegetation from the resident's own property is allowed, and household trash, glass, plastic, rubber, metal, construction wood, cement, asphalt, concrete, stone, masonry rubble and soil are prohibited.
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.
