A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

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.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Torrington runs its own solid waste program. Curbside refuse and recycling are collected by the city's contracted hauler, USA Hauling and Recycling, on 860-379-1662, and bulk waste is requested separately on the regular trash day with a permit for each collection: the city provides two free bulky waste collections per residence each calendar year and charges a fee for each additional one, paid before the pickup is scheduled. Leaf and yard waste is not part of the normal curbside collection; it goes out on the garbage pickup day during the spring or fall window only, in biodegradable paper bags or bundles under 50 pounds. Construction and demolition debris is refused by the city, which directs residents to Albreada on 860-482-6319, and the material the bulk program will not take, including tires since September 14, 2026, all electronics and flattened cardboard, goes to the transfer station on Bogue Road, open 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on weekends.
