City collection Furniture is acceptable on the bulky collection and at the transfer station as a bulky item. No charge. A resident car, minivan or SUV disposes of municipal solid waste free at the transfer station with a Residential Disposal Pass, and a residential pickup truck, cargo van or towing trailer gets one ton free with a Residential Disposal Permit as well. Furniture is also acceptable on the city bulky collection, whose charge is not published, so confirm it when booking.
City collection Norwalk recycles mattresses and box springs free at three Saturday events each year, and a mattress is also on the bulky collection's acceptable list. No charge. The city accepts mattresses and box springs free at its special collection events through the Connecticut Bye Bye Mattress program, open to City of Norwalk residents, and a mattress is also named on the acceptable list for the bulky collection, whose own charge is not published.
City collection Metal appliances are acceptable on the bulky collection, while an appliance containing Freon is refused there and taken at the transfer station for a fee. No charge. Metal appliances such as ovens, washing machines and dryers are named on the acceptable list for the bulky collection, and a resident vehicle disposes of municipal solid waste free at the transfer station within the published allowances. An appliance containing Freon, such as an air conditioner or refrigerator, is refused on the bulky route and accepted at the transfer station for a fee, so confirm that charge before hauling.
City collection Eligible Norwalk households get two bulky collections a calendar year of up to one cubic yard each, and the transfer station takes bulky items from residents with a pass.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Norwalk runs its own waste services. Households in the 4th Taxing District that receive city garbage collection can schedule two bulky collections a calendar year of up to one cubic yard each, the city recycles mattresses and box springs free at three Saturday events through the Connecticut Bye Bye Mattress program, and the Crescent Street transfer station takes furniture, metal appliances, electronics and recycling from residents who hold a disposal pass. Appliances containing Freon are refused on the bulky route but taken at the transfer station for a fee, electronics are refused on the bulky route and then accepted at the recycling centre, construction debris is refused at both, and paints, chemicals, fuels and fluorescent bulbs go to the city's free household hazardous waste day or one of the five regional days.
Norwalk recycles mattresses and box springs free at three Saturday events each year, and a mattress is also on the bulky collection's acceptable list.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The city accepts mattresses and box springs free at its special collection events through the Connecticut Bye Bye Mattress program, open to City of Norwalk residents, and a mattress is also named on the acceptable list for the bulky collection, whose own charge is not published.
When & how
Take the mattress to the Norwalk Public Works Center at 15 South Smith Street on Saturday April 18, Saturday June 6 or Saturday September 12, 2026 between 9 a.m. and noon, in the parking area next to the gas pumps, or book a bulky collection through Customer Service at (203) 854-3200.
Get it ready
The mattress and box spring have to be dry and intact, so keep them covered in transit and out of the rain, and leave cushions, toppers, bedding, air mattresses, water beds, futons and furniture behind because the events refuse them.
Furniture is acceptable on the bulky collection and at the transfer station as a bulky item.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. A resident car, minivan or SUV disposes of municipal solid waste free at the transfer station with a Residential Disposal Pass, and a residential pickup truck, cargo van or towing trailer gets one ton free with a Residential Disposal Permit as well. Furniture is also acceptable on the city bulky collection, whose charge is not published, so confirm it when booking.
When & how
Book a bulky collection through Customer Service at (203) 854-3200 during your zone's sign-up window, or take the furniture to the transfer station at 61 Crescent Street during its published hours.
Get it ready
Put items out by 7 a.m. on the collection day and no more than 48 hours early, keep them three feet from mailboxes, fences, parked vehicles and utility poles, report every item when scheduling because unlisted items are left behind, and do not use cardboard boxes.
Metal appliances are acceptable on the bulky collection, while an appliance containing Freon is refused there and taken at the transfer station for a fee.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Metal appliances such as ovens, washing machines and dryers are named on the acceptable list for the bulky collection, and a resident vehicle disposes of municipal solid waste free at the transfer station within the published allowances. An appliance containing Freon, such as an air conditioner or refrigerator, is refused on the bulky route and accepted at the transfer station for a fee, so confirm that charge before hauling.
When & how
Book the bulky collection through Customer Service at (203) 854-3200, or take a Freon appliance to the transfer station at 61 Crescent Street, where the vehicle first needs a Residential Disposal Pass and, for a truck, van or trailer, a Residential Disposal Permit.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance and secure the door, keep a Freon unit off the bulky pile because it is refused there, and bring the vehicle in empty and half a tank of gas when the permit is issued so it can be weighed.
Electronics are refused on the bulky collection and accepted at the Crescent Street recycling centre.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The recycling centre at the Crescent Street transfer station accepts cell phones, computer monitors, copiers, DVD players, iPods, fax machines, keyboards, PDAs, printers, televisions and VCRs, and a resident car, minivan or SUV pays nothing for municipal solid waste there with a Residential Disposal Pass. The household hazardous waste flyer routes Norwalk residents' electronics to the transfer station rather than the hazardous waste day.
When & how
Take the device to the transfer station at 61 Crescent Street, open Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a valid City of Norwalk Residential Disposal Pass.
Get it ready
Keep electronics off the bulky pile because they are refused there, and keep them off the household hazardous waste load as well, because the flyer sends electronics to the transfer station instead.
Construction and remodelling debris is refused on the bulky collection and at the transfer station, so the city publishes no route for it.
City cost & eligibility
The bulky collection refuses construction and remodelling debris including concrete, sheetrock, masonry, toilets, sinks, pipes, shingles, tile and furnace, and the transfer station's unacceptable list includes construction and demolition debris, sheetrock, asphalt shingles, counter tops and ceramic items. No city rate exists for the material, so a project load needs a private hauler or a receiving facility outside these programs.
When & how
Arrange a private hauler or container company before the project starts, because neither the bulky collection nor the transfer station will take project debris.
Get it ready
Keep construction material off the bulky pile and out of the transfer station load, keep electrical, plumbing and ceramic fixtures separate because they are refused as construction and demolition material, and check the receiving site's list before the load leaves.
Exercise equipment is not named on the bulky collection list, so Customer Service has to confirm the machine before it is scheduled.
City cost & eligibility
Exercise equipment is not named as acceptable or unacceptable on the bulky collection, and no fee is published for the collection, so describe the machine to Customer Service at (203) 854-3200 and confirm both acceptance and cost before booking.
When & how
Call Customer Service at (203) 854-3200 during your zone's sign-up window and confirm the machine before it is scheduled.
Get it ready
Fold or tie down the deck and handles, remove any console or battery pack so it can be handled separately, and keep the machine inside the one cubic yard limit if it is accepted.
Eligible Norwalk households get two bulky collections a calendar year of up to one cubic yard each, and the transfer station takes bulky items from residents with a pass.
City cost & eligibility
The bulky collection is an eligibility-based entitlement and the city publishes no fee for it, while the transfer station's cost table gives a resident car free municipal solid waste, a residential pickup truck, cargo van or towing trailer one free ton, commercial vehicles $125 per ton and an unregistered vehicle a $20 or $30 minimum. Confirm whether a scheduled collection carries a charge when you call Customer Service at (203) 854-3200.
When & how
Book through Customer Service at (203) 854-3200 during your zone's two-week sign-up window, which runs twice a year between February and September, or take the load to the transfer station at 61 Crescent Street with a Residential Disposal Pass.
Get it ready
Keep each collection to one cubic yard, put items out by 7 a.m. and no more than 48 hours early, report every item when scheduling, group similar materials together, leave cardboard boxes out, and keep hazardous waste, electronics, Freon appliances, tires, propane tanks, paint, yard waste, textiles and construction debris off the pile.
Paint, chemicals and other household hazardous waste
Accepted with preparation
Norwalk holds its own household hazardous waste day and joins five regional Connecticut days, all free to city residents.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The city's household hazardous waste day and the five regional collection days are free to Norwalk residents, with a driver's licence, vehicle registration or Norwalk Disposal Pass shown at the gate and Customer Service at (203) 854-3200 for quantities over 40 pounds or 30 gallons.
When & how
The Norwalk day is Saturday August 15, 2026 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Ponus Ridge STEM Academy, 21 Hunters Lane, rain or shine, and the regional days run on April 11 in Westport, May 2 in Greenwich, June 6 in Darien, July 11 in Stamford and September 12 in New Canaan, each with its published hours.
Get it ready
Leave materials in original labelled containers with the caps tightened, pack them upright in sturdy boxes padded with newspaper, sort paint, pesticides and cleaners into separate boxes, do not mix chemicals, and take propane tanks, tires, electronics, used motor oil, antifreeze and batteries to the transfer station instead because the hazardous waste day refuses them.
A bulky collection is one cubic yard and has to be booked in your zone's window
Eligible households get two bulky collections a calendar year, each limited to one cubic yard of material, about four feet by two feet, and each address sits in one of four zones with a two-week sign-up window twice a year. Items go out by 7 a.m. on the scheduled day and no more than 48 hours early, at least three feet from mailboxes, fences, parked vehicles and utility poles, without blocking the sidewalk or street, with only the items reported at scheduling collected and similar materials grouped together.
The transfer station needs a pass, and a truck or trailer also needs a permit
Every residential vehicle at the Crescent Street transfer station needs a valid City of Norwalk Residential Disposal Pass, and a residential pickup truck, SUV, cargo van or towing trailer also needs a Residential Disposal Permit issued at the station, with the vehicle brought in empty and half a tank of gas so it can be weighed. A resident car disposes of municipal solid waste free and a residential pickup or trailer gets one ton free, while commercial vehicles pay by the ton and an unregistered vehicle pays a minimum, all by credit or debit card only.
The bulky collection refuses hazardous waste, Freon appliances, electronics, tires, vehicle parts, propane tanks, yard waste, recycling materials, clothing and textiles, liquid paint and construction or remodelling debris. The transfer station refuses ammunition and explosives, hazardous materials, asbestos, counter tops, asphalt shingles, sheetrock, ceramic sinks and toilets, prescription drugs, construction and demolition debris and wet paint. Hazardous chemicals, paints, fuels and fluorescent bulbs go to the city's free household hazardous waste day instead.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

Have a private hauler take a project or mixed load
A household or contractor with construction debris or a load neither city route accepts.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no rate for private hauling or containers and refuses construction and demolition material on both of its routes, so a hauler or container company quotes its own price; confirm the accepted material and the receiving site before booking.
Arrange it
Contact a private hauler or container company serving Norwalk and confirm where the material is taken and what it costs.
Hazardous material, electronics, Freon appliances, tires, propane tanks and wet paint still have their own city routes, so they have to be separated before a hauler takes the rest.
