Trash & Recycling Toters
Please remember to move Trash and Recycling toters to a secure location alongside or behind your residence after pick up.
If you need to report a missing toter please call Resident Services at 203-946-7700. We do maintain a waitlist. While you are waiting for trash toters to be replaced, you can place your trash bags curbside for disposal. If you are missing a Recycling toter, you can use a cardboard box to hold the recyclables between collections. Crews will empty both on your regularly scheduled refuse day if they are left out at the curb for pick-up.
We do not pick up construction materials. Likewise, only recyclable items will be emptied. To see what is and isn’t recyclable please visit our Recycling page.
