City collection Furniture is not named individually on the accepted materials list, but it falls inside household municipal solid waste and mixed material, both of which Holly Hill accepts from permitted Greenwich residents. No furniture line appears on the fee schedule, so confirm the charge at the scale house. A licensed hauler can also take the piece from the curb, and that price is set by the hauler.
City collection Mattresses are not named on the accepted materials list, but a mattress is household municipal solid waste, which Holly Hill accepts, and there is no mattress fee line on the published schedule. The fee schedule carries no mattress line, so confirm the charge at the scale house or with the licensed hauler that would collect it curbside.
City collection Freon-containing items are explicitly accepted at Holly Hill and priced on the published schedule at 16 dollars each, with refrigerators and air conditioners given as the examples. $16 per freon-containing item such as a refrigerator or air conditioner, as published on the Holly Hill fee schedule. Town of Greenwich residents with a valid Holly Hill permit, with the permit hangtag displayed in the vehicle.
City collection Holly Hill takes household municipal solid waste and mixed-material items, which is where bulky household garbage goes, but every vehicle needs the annual town permit first and cargo vehicles are weighed. The fee schedule prices trash by the ton for loads delivered by licensed haulers and the per-ton figure does not render cleanly in the retained document, so confirm what a household bulky load costs at the Holly Hill scale house before loading.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Greenwich runs its household waste through the Holly Hill Resource Recovery Facility rather than a municipal curbside special pickup. Any vehicle entering needs a 25 dollar annual permit valid from July through June, residents and businesses either haul material there themselves or contract with a licensed hauler, and the facility is open Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon. The published fee schedule makes the awkward items simple: electronics, fluorescent bulbs, batteries, motor oil and antifreeze are free, construction and demolition debris, yard waste and scrap metal cost 4.75 dollars per 100 pounds and are free in a resident car, a refrigerator or air conditioner is 16 dollars each, and tires are 2 or 4 dollars depending on whether the rim is attached. Household chemicals go to the free hazardous waste day, which Greenwich holds each spring on Arch Street.
Holly Hill takes household municipal solid waste and mixed-material items, which is where bulky household garbage goes, but every vehicle needs the annual town permit first and cargo vehicles are weighed.
City cost & eligibility
The fee schedule prices trash by the ton for loads delivered by licensed haulers and the per-ton figure does not render cleanly in the retained document, so confirm what a household bulky load costs at the Holly Hill scale house before loading.
When & how
Buy the 25 dollar annual permit online or at the DPW counter in Town Hall on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., then use the facility Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. or Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon.
Get it ready
Display the permit hangtag while inside the facility, bring only waste generated in Greenwich, and expect a cargo vehicle such as a truck, van or a car with a trailer to be weighed. Roll-off and hook-type vehicles carrying dumpsters cannot use the facility unless a licensed Greenwich hauler is running them as a satellite vehicle.
Furniture is not named individually on the accepted materials list, but it falls inside household municipal solid waste and mixed material, both of which Holly Hill accepts from permitted Greenwich residents.
City cost & eligibility
No furniture line appears on the fee schedule, so confirm the charge at the scale house. A licensed hauler can also take the piece from the curb, and that price is set by the hauler.
When & how
Use Holly Hill with a valid permit during opening hours, or arrange the pickup directly with one of the licensed haulers the town lists.
Get it ready
Separate the furniture from recyclables and yard waste, because the town puts separation on the person or business generating the waste rather than on the collector. Reusable furniture can go to a donation outlet instead.
Mattresses are not named on the accepted materials list, but a mattress is household municipal solid waste, which Holly Hill accepts, and there is no mattress fee line on the published schedule.
City cost & eligibility
The fee schedule carries no mattress line, so confirm the charge at the scale house or with the licensed hauler that would collect it curbside.
When & how
Take it to Holly Hill with a valid permit during opening hours, or ask the licensed hauler for the address to collect it.
Get it ready
Separate the mattress from the load categories that are charged by weight.
Scrap metal is on the accepted materials list and, on the fee schedule, costs 4.75 dollars per 100 pounds for a resident truck or trailer and nothing at all in a resident car.
City cost & eligibility
From $4.75 per 100 pounds or portion thereof for scrap metal, with resident cars paying nothing for scrap metal and resident cars with trailers, resident trucks and commercial vehicles paying the per hundredweight rate. Town of Greenwich residents with a valid Holly Hill permit. A vehicle defined as a resident car is a sedan, station wagon or hatchback, or an SUV or minivan with all seats in place.
When & how
Take the appliance to Holly Hill during opening hours with the permit displayed, or have the licensed hauler collect it from the curb.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and keep it out of the recyclable loads. Anything holding refrigerant is charged as a freon-containing item instead of as scrap metal, so identify those units before the trip.
Refrigerators, air conditioners and other freon items
Accepted with preparation
Freon-containing items are explicitly accepted at Holly Hill and priced on the published schedule at 16 dollars each, with refrigerators and air conditioners given as the examples.
City cost & eligibility
$16 per freon-containing item such as a refrigerator or air conditioner, as published on the Holly Hill fee schedule. Town of Greenwich residents with a valid Holly Hill permit, with the permit hangtag displayed in the vehicle.
When & how
Take the unit to Holly Hill during opening hours, or ask the licensed hauler serving the address about a curbside collection.
Get it ready
Keep the unit out of the scrap metal category because it is charged separately as a freon item.
Electronics are listed on the accepted materials list and priced at no charge on the fee schedule, and the town also accepts outdated electronics year-round at the Holly Hill recycling centre.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free at Holly Hill for Town of Greenwich residents with a valid annual permit. Fluorescent bulbs and batteries are also free, and single-stream recyclables are free.
When & how
Bring the device to Holly Hill during opening hours with the permit displayed, or use the recycling centre's year-round electronics acceptance for permit holders.
Get it ready
Erase personal data before handover, keep electronics out of the household trash load so they are weighed and credited correctly, and put holiday string lights in the designated recycling area free of packaging.
Construction and demolition debris is on the accepted materials list and charged at 4.75 dollars per 100 pounds, with resident cars paying nothing and the schedule noting that a car trunk may be filled with it.
City cost & eligibility
From $4.75 per 100 pounds or portion thereof for construction and demolition debris, with resident cars at no charge and resident cars with trailers, resident trucks and commercial vehicles at the per hundredweight rate. Town of Greenwich residents with a valid Holly Hill permit, with cargo vehicles weighed and a tare weight registration for non-passenger vehicles.
When & how
Take the load to Holly Hill during opening hours, and complete the tare weight vehicle registration form first if the vehicle is a truck, van or a car with a trailer.
Get it ready
Keep construction debris out of the recyclable loads, expect the load to be weighed, and remember that roll-off and hook-type vehicles carrying dumpsters cannot use the facility unless a licensed Greenwich hauler is operating them as a satellite vehicle.
Exercise equipment is not named on the accepted materials list or the fee schedule, so a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed at the scale before the trip.
City cost & eligibility
No published line covers an exercise machine. A metal-framed machine would ordinarily fall under scrap metal at 4.75 dollars per 100 pounds, free in a resident car, but confirm the classification at the scale house because the item is not named.
When & how
Call the Holly Hill office or ask at the scale on arrival before assuming the piece will be taken as scrap metal.
Get it ready
Describe the machine when you call, remove any battery pack so it is not mixed into the load, and keep the frame separate from household trash so the classification is clear at the gate.
The permit and the scale come before everything else
Every vehicle, residential or commercial, needs a Holly Hill disposal permit displayed to enter, and the permit costs 25 dollars for the year running July 1 to June 30. Buy it online or at the DPW counter in Town Hall on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. by credit card or check, because cash is not accepted. Only waste generated in Greenwich is allowed, and a company hauling on your behalf needs a signed verification of owner form for each load.
What costs nothing, what costs by weight and what costs per item
Single-stream recyclables, electronics, fluorescent bulbs, batteries including auto and rechargeable types, waste motor oil and antifreeze and empty LPG tanks are free. Construction and demolition debris, yard waste and logs and scrap metal are 4.75 dollars per 100 pounds or portion thereof, with resident cars paying nothing for those three categories. A freon-containing item such as a refrigerator or air conditioner is 16 dollars each, tires are 2 dollars off rim or 4 dollars on rim, and certified weights cost 3 dollars. Non-passenger vehicles such as trucks, pickups, vans and vehicles with trailers are weighed.
Household chemicals go to the free hazardous waste day
Household hazardous waste day is free for Greenwich residents and does not accept commercial loads. The 2026 Greenwich event is on May 2 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Island Beach Parking Lot on Arch Street, and Greenwich residents may also attend the partner events in Westport, Darien, Stamford, Norwalk and New Canaan on the published dates. Pack materials in boxes lined with newspaper or kitty litter, keep each container at five gallons or less, and leave asbestos, gas cylinders, explosives, radioactive material, PCBs, infectious waste and unknowns at home.

Arrange curbside collection with a licensed hauler
A household that would rather have a couch, a mattress or other household waste collected at the curb than drive it to Holly Hill.
Cost & conditions
The town publishes the list of licensed collectors and their phone numbers but sets no rate, so the hauler quotes its own curbside price for the load.
Arrange it
Choose a collector from the town's licensed hauler list and agree the pickup day and the items directly with them, keeping in mind that haulers may work between 5 a.m. and 9 p.m.
The resident or business is responsible for separating waste and storing it properly, and a hauler not based in Greenwich needs a signed verification of owner form for each load it brings to Holly Hill.
