City collection Couches and large furniture items are named on the bulky waste list for the Mark Lane transfer facility, so a couch moves inside one of the two free bulky dumps a household gets each year. No charge. Covered by the two free bulky waste dumps each household is allowed per year, pickup truck size loads. Additional dumps are charged $28.75 for the first 500 pounds and $0.0575 per pound after that.

Clean, dry mattresses may be recycled separately from bulky waste, while a dirty or wet mattress counts as bulky waste. The charge applies per piece on top of the two free bulky dumps a household gets each year, and the council of governments also points Connecticut residents to the state mattress recycling programme for other disposal options.
City collection A cooling appliance is not named on the transfer facility's accepted list, which names couches, mattresses, large furniture, residential construction material, carpet and specific metals, so the route and the refrigerant handling have to be confirmed. No published rate covers a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner. The facility refuses propane tanks and car batteries and publishes no cooling appliance line, so confirm with the Bureau of Refuse at (203) 574-6857 whether the unit counts within the bulky allowance, what it costs, and whether the refrigerant has to be handled first.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Waterbury collects its own trash, recycling and bulky waste through the city Bureau of Refuse, and the city runs the Mark Lane transfer facility for what the curbs do not take. Each household gets two free dumps of bulky waste and four free dumps of yard waste a year, pickup truck size loads, and anything past that is charged by weight, with clean dry mattresses recycled separately and priced per piece. Electronics are accepted at Mark Lane year round or at Take 2, Inc, and the city holds an autumn drop-off event as well. Paint, chemicals and the rest of the household hazardous material go to the Naugatuck Valley Council of Governments regional collection events, which include Waterbury.

City cost & eligibility
$30 per mattress or box spring at the Mark Lane transfer facility, where the facility states mattresses and box springs will be charged $30 each. Clean, dry mattresses may be recycled separately from bulky waste, while a dirty or wet mattress counts as bulky waste.

A cooling appliance is not named on the transfer facility's accepted list, which names couches, mattresses, large furniture, residential construction material, carpet and specific metals, so the route and the refrigerant handling have to be confirmed.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner. The facility refuses propane tanks and car batteries and publishes no cooling appliance line, so confirm with the Bureau of Refuse at (203) 574-6857 whether the unit counts within the bulky allowance, what it costs, and whether the refrigerant has to be handled first.
When & how
Call the Bureau of Refuse at (203) 574-6857 before the unit is loaded, and do not bring it to the facility expecting it to be taken as ordinary bulky waste.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and strap or tape the doors closed, keep it upright where the vehicle allows, and never put a cooling appliance in a curbside recycling cart.
The city accepts electronics at the Mark Lane transfer facility year round and names Take 2, Inc as a second year-round option, with an annual autumn drop-off event as well.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes the electronics routes and the transfer facility's fee list names only additional dump charges and the mattress charge, so confirm the electronics charge with the Bureau of Refuse at (203) 574-6857 before a large load. Small electronic appliances and televisions are both on the facility's accepted list.
When & how
Take the equipment to the Mark Lane transfer facility, 220 Mark Lane, 06704, open Tuesday through Saturday 7 am to 2:30 pm from March 1 to November 30 and Monday through Friday 7 am to 2:30 pm from December 1 through February, or watch for the annual autumn drop-off event.
Get it ready
Wipe stored data where the device powers on, keep cords and accessories with it, and keep electronics out of the curbside trash. Paint stays out of the load, because the facility refuses paint and points to PaintCare instead.
Residential construction materials and carpet are on the transfer facility's bulky waste list, so a household renovation load fits the free bulky allowance, while concrete, stone and brick are refused outright.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Covered by the two free bulky waste dumps each household is allowed per year, pickup truck size loads, with additional dumps charged $28.75 for the first 500 pounds and $0.0575 per pound after that. Concrete, stone and brick are refused.

Leave concrete, stone, brick and household trash out of the load, because the facility refuses them, and keep a tenant's load to the tenant's own material rather than a landlord's building material. Yard waste travels separately as its own free allowance in compostable bags with brush cut and tied under four inches and no more than six feet long.
Exercise equipment is not named on the transfer facility's accepted lists, so the machine has to be confirmed against the bulky waste allowance before it is loaded.
City cost & eligibility
No published list or rate names an exercise machine. Bulky waste is limited to the household's two free dumps a year and to furniture, bedding and appliances for a tenant, so confirm with the Bureau of Refuse at (203) 574-6857 whether the machine is accepted in the bulky load and what it costs.
When & how
Call the Bureau of Refuse at (203) 574-6857 before the machine is loaded, and take it only on a day the facility is open with the vehicle on the scale by 2:30 pm.
Get it ready

Each household has two free bulky waste dumps and four free yard waste dumps a year as pickup truck size loads, extra weight is charged at the published rate, and yard waste has to arrive in compostable bags with brush cut and tied under four inches in diameter and no longer than six feet. Household trash, paint, hazardous waste, concrete, stone, brick, propane tanks and car batteries are refused.
The bulky and yard waste allowances belong to the household, not to each person living there, and a tenant in a multi-family home may only dump their own property such as furniture, bedding and appliances, never the landlord's building material or yard waste. A landlord who lives in the multi-family home with a Waterbury driver's licence gets two free dumps for that one building. Replacement trash bins are sold by the city and can be ordered at (203) 756-7365 or bought at the Mark Lane facility.
Paint, chemicals and other household hazardous material never go in a cart or a bulky load. The Naugatuck Valley Council of Governments runs three collections a year for fifteen towns including Waterbury, rain or shine, free to residents of participating municipalities, with proof of residency required. Containers are not returned, there is a 50 pound cap per resident unless arrangements are made in advance by email to hhw@nvcogct.gov before the Monday prior to the collection, and the next published event is September 26 from 9 am to 2 pm at Ansonia Public Works, 1 North Division Street in Ansonia.
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.
