Single Family Collection Service
Our goal is to provide an incentive for residents to produce less waste by recycling more, while covering costs for disposal and recycling. In keeping with this rationale, the more you recycle, the lower your cost for service.
Choose from one of the following trash service levels. Collection for both trash and recyclables is once per week on the same day. Pick-up of unlimited recyclables is included in the refuse fee. Billing is sent out quarterly - January, April, July and October - in advance of service.
Trash bags and cans are not provided by the Town. 20-gallon and 35-gallon cans are available at the local hardware stores - Mansfield Supply, 1527 Storrs Road, Thompson's, 54 Middle Turnpike, and Willard's, 1753 Storrs Road. Using trash cans that are larger than 35-gallon for the one-can, standard or maxi services is not permitted.
Bulky waste is not collected through town service.
