You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard and containers
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Furniture and other larger items
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.
Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?+
Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.
Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?+
Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items.

To the town Transfer Station at 2045 Main Street, where mattresses and box springs recycle free through the Connecticut stewardship programme with proof of residency, or onto a Thursday bulk stop at 35 dollars per piece through the contractor. The free route takes clean, undamaged sets only, so mattress pads, toppers, pillows, air mattresses and futons do not qualify and a soiled or infested set is refused.Official guidance
What does it cost to get rid of a television in Newington?+
Nothing at the town Transfer Station, which takes televisions with electronics and fluorescent bulbs from residents who show proof of residency.
