You have decided what is going. Now give those bags and boxes a pickup day, with a price you can see before anyone arrives.
Book the unwanted bags and boxes left after packing. Choose an available pickup day before you hand back the keys, and arrange to have them outside.
You do not need a whole house of junk. Select the bags, boxes and larger items you actually have. Your combined price is shown online.
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 clear count. An exact price.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
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 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.
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.
First item / additional item
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 city collects bulky waste by appointment, with two free pickups per unit a year of up to five items each on a one to six unit property.
Furniture is named in the city's bulky waste definition, so a couch goes out on a scheduled pickup inside the free allowance.
Mattresses are named in the city's bulky waste definition and go out on a scheduled pickup inside the free allowance.
Appliances are named in the city's bulky waste definition, and a unit with refrigerant needs a confirmation because the hazardous waste collections refuse Freon appliances.
Electronics are named in the city's bulky waste definition, and Connecticut law also requires the town to collect computers, televisions, monitors and printers without charging a fee for those four categories.
Construction material is one of the reasons a city bin is left behind and it is not named in the bulky waste list, so a project load needs a private hauler.
Tires are named in the city's bulky waste definition, so a tire goes out on a scheduled bulky pickup inside the free allowance.
Exercise equipment is not named in the bulky waste definition, so the machine has to be confirmed with the city before it goes out.
The handoff matters
Bulky items have to be scheduled first through Hartford 311 at 860-757-9311 or Public Works at 860-757-9983, with the item list given on the call. The pile goes out after 4 p.m. the night before the appointment or before 7 a.m. on the collection date, stays out of roadways and off sidewalks, and holds no more than five items. Setting bulk items out without a scheduled pickup carries a 99.00 fine.

Before you book
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Hartford.
A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
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.
No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. 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.
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.
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. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
Two free pickups per unit a year, each covering five items or fewer, on a one to six unit non commercial property. A one family home therefore gets two free pickups, a two family home four, a three family home six and a six family home twelve, and anything beyond that costs 75.00 per additional collection.Official guidance
Large solid waste items such as appliances, electronics, small bundles of tree branches, tires, furniture, mattresses and other items too large to fit reasonably in the standard city container. Hazardous or toxic materials are not bulky waste and go to a Metropolitan District hazardous waste collection instead.Official guidance
The fine for placing bulk items curbside without a scheduled pickup is 99.00, and items that were not listed on the call are not collected. Schedule with Hartford 311 at 860-757-9311 or Public Works at 860-757-9983 before anything goes to the curb.Official guidance
Yes. Furniture is named in the city's bulky waste definition, so a couch or chair goes out on a scheduled pickup after Hartford 311 or Public Works takes the item list, and each piece counts inside the five item limit for that collection.Official guidance
Plan for each piece to count inside the five item limit for a scheduled collection, because the city counts items rather than sets. Two free pickups per unit a year are available on a one to six unit property, and each additional collection beyond the allowance is charged at the published rate.Official guidance
Appliances are named in the city's bulky waste definition, but a unit containing Freon is refused at the Metropolitan District's hazardous waste collections, and the MDC packet sends Freon appliances to the town public works department or transfer station for a small fee. Call Public Works at 860-757-9983 to confirm how the unit will be handled before setting it out.Official guidance
They can go on a scheduled Hartford bulky pickup, because electronics are named in the city's bulky waste definition, and they can also go through the town electronics program or a retailer such as Staples or Best Buy. Connecticut law requires towns to collect computers, televisions, monitors and printers and forbids a fee for those four categories, and the MDC hazardous waste collections do not take electronics at all.Official guidance
The MDC information packet names Green Monster e-cycling at 150 Brook Street in West Hartford on 860-231-1426, manufacturer take back programs, Staples, which takes computers, monitors, laptops, printers, faxes and all in ones, and Best Buy, which accepts many types of electronics but only three items per day.Official guidance
A city bin cannot carry it, because construction materials are named among the items that will leave trash uncollected, and they are not named in the bulky waste definition either. The city publishes a list of Hartford area private waste haulers for the load, so arrange a container or a haul before the project starts.Official guidance
Yes. Tires are named in the city's bulky waste definition along with appliances, electronics, small bundles of tree branches, furniture and mattresses, so a tire goes out on a scheduled pickup and counts as one of the five items allowed in that collection.Official guidance
Exercise equipment is not named in the city's bulky waste definition, which lists appliances, electronics, small bundles of tree branches, tires, furniture and mattresses, so call Hartford 311 at 860-757-9311 or Public Works at 860-757-9983 and ask whether the machine can be added to the item list.Official guidance
The city's Department of Public Works Waste and Recycling Division, for single family homes, multifamily buildings of six units or less and condo associations of six units or less. Hartford 311 answers service questions at 860-757-9311 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and bulky collections are scheduled through 311 or Public Works at 860-757-9983.Official guidance
Two pickups per unit a calendar year are free, each covering five items or fewer, on a one to six unit non commercial property, so a two family home gets four free pickups and a six family home gets twelve. Beyond that, an additional collection costs 75.00, a 10.00 permit covers up to four transfer station visits, and an unscheduled curbside pile carries a 99.00 fine.Official guidance
To a Metropolitan District household hazardous waste collection, which Hartford residents may attend in any participating town. Hartford's own collection is Saturday, October 24, 2026 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the MDC Operations Facility, 125 Maxim Road, and the regional schedule runs Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. through the year with one Sunday collection on May 17, 2026. Identification is checked and the driver stays in the vehicle while the contractor unloads.Official guidance
Electronics are named in the city's bulky waste definition, so a television or computer can go on a scheduled bulky pickup inside the free allowance, and Connecticut law requires towns to collect computers, televisions, monitors and printers without a fee for those four categories. The MDC packet also lists Green Monster e-cycling in West Hartford, Staples and Best Buy, while the hazardous waste collections take no electronics at all.Official guidance
The city runs a Leaf Collection Program so residents can dispose of fallen leaves before the first heavy snowfall, following the zone schedule posted with the program, and it publishes a summer yard collection sheet as well. Small bundles of tree branches are also named as bulky waste, so branches can go on a scheduled bulky pickup.Official guidance
The city does not collect from commercial property, an apartment complex or a multifamily building with more than six units, and those properties are told to contact their management company or landlord. The bulky waste allowance is written for one to six unit non commercial properties, so a larger building has to arrange disposal privately.Official guidance
