The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Milford runs its own solid waste operation. Public Works performs the curbside garbage and recyclable collections, and the transfer station on Oronoque Road takes the material that does not go at the curb, including furniture, mattresses, televisions and electronics, refrigerators and air conditioners, tires, metal and yard debris, free for cars and SUVs. Construction and demolition material is a partial load there: lumber has to be cut into four foot lengths and concrete, brick, stone, tile, roofing and sheetrock go to a private facility instead. Hazardous material goes to the Regional Water Authority facility in New Haven, and paint has its own drop-off in town.
