A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

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.

Bulky items and household clutter

Accepted with preparation

Stamford collects bulky waste at its Scofield recycling events on published dates, with mattresses, furniture, rugs and small demolition debris named in the bulky list under a 200 pound cap.

City cost & eligibility
The events are published as a residents-only collection with no fee stated, so confirm the current charge with the department at 203-977-4117. A bulky load taken to the Scale House instead is free up to 200 pounds a day in a passenger vehicle and charged $6.75 for each additional 100 pounds.
When & how
Use the Scofield site at 55 Rock Rimmon Road on a published event date from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., or the Scale House at 101 Harborview Avenue from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Get it ready
Keep to one dump per day and 200 pounds, arrive in a passenger vehicle rather than a trailer, rental truck or commercial vehicle, and leave air conditioners, humidifiers, tires and propane tanks out of the load. Food debris has to be in compostable bags, and textiles, electronics and yard waste go to their own points at the same event.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Two city sites, two different vehicle rules

Stamford's Scale House and Transfer Station at 101 Harborview Avenue takes residential dumping Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., with up to 200 pounds a day free in a passenger vehicle and 6 dollars and 75 cents for each additional 100 pounds. The Katrina Mygatt Recycling Center at 130 Magee Avenue takes recycling, garbage and yard waste Tuesdays through Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. but only from residential passenger vehicles: commercial vehicles, pickups, cars with trailers, rental trucks and vehicles with combination or commercial plates have to dump at the Scale House instead.

The Scofield events have hard load rules

The city's recycling events at 55 Rock Rimmon Road run from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on published dates and are open only to Stamford residents. Each visit is one dump, capped at 200 pounds, with no trailers, rental trucks, commercial vehicles or combination plates, and air conditioners, humidifiers, tires and propane tanks are not accepted. Bulky waste at the event is mattresses, furniture, rugs and small demolition debris, while electronics, yard waste, textiles and deposit bottles and cans are collected separately, and food debris has to arrive in compostable bags.

Hazardous waste moves through the city's sponsored days

Stamford residents take household hazardous waste to the city-sponsored hazardous waste recycling days, which rotate through neighbouring towns on a published 2026 schedule and include a Stamford day at Rippowam Middle School on 381 High Ridge Road from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The accepted list covers aerosols, ammonia, antifreeze, bleaches, brake fluid, drain and oven cleaners, gasoline, herbicides, home heating oil, mercury thermometers, moth balls, paint thinners, pesticides, photo and pool chemicals, sealants, smoke detectors, solvents, transmission fluid and wood preservatives, and the Stamford day also took used mattresses through the Mattress Recycling Council. Electronics, propane tanks and motor oil are instead recycled at the Katrina Mygatt Recycling Center.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Stamford.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Stamford?

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.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

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.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

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.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

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.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

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.
