The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
West Warwick collects trash, recycling and yard waste through MTG Disposal, and the carts belong to the town and stay with the address. Bins go to the curb by 6 a.m., household trash has to be in the assigned container with the lid closed, and glass, latex paint, carpets and lumber each have their own preparation rule. Anything too large for the bin waits for a bulk day: the town collects furniture and large items on the first and third Saturday of each month, arranged by calling the Department of Public Works secretary with an itemized list and the address at least five days ahead, with four free pickups a year and a charge for each one beyond that. Mattresses, box springs, large appliances and hot water heaters are white goods, which means a paid sticker for a curbside pickup and a free drop off at the public works yard when the unit does not hold refrigerant. Yard waste runs on the seasonal schedule in biodegradable bags or marked barrels with a weight and bag limit, and the public works back yard at 10 Junior Street takes a long list of resident drop offs at no charge, including oversized cardboard, scrap metal, paint and all electronics, with tires and refrigerant units priced separately.
