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.

The Transfer Station at 475 Asylum Street is the City's route for mattresses, furniture, appliances, separated metals, up to two tires, waste oil and antifreeze, and it is free to residents with identification.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The Citizen's Guide states the Transfer Station is free for City residents, and residents are asked to bring a City ID or a utility bill. People who live outside the City but own property in Bridgeport have to bring proof of ownership and are limited to one trip per day.
When & how
The Transfer Station is open to residents year round Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wood and brush may not be longer than four feet and have to be tied in a bundle or loose and covered, and all loads have to be covered and secured.
Get it ready
Separate all metals from the rest of the load, cut mattresses and wood doors in half, keep leaves in paper leaf bags only, bring no more than two tires per trip, and leave oil and antifreeze free of contamination with the Weigh Master. Recyclables are placed under the Weigh Master's direction.
Furniture is refused in the green toter, and the Citizen's Guide lists furniture among the material the Transfer Station accepts.

Get it ready
Keep the piece out of the green toter, because bulky items are refused there, and load the vehicle so nothing can blow out on the way. Wood doors have to be cut in half before drop-off, and the same facility refuses cabinets, toilets, sinks, construction debris and sheetrock.
