Bulky pickup in Hartford
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Hartford mattresss: must be scheduled before set-out — 2 free bulk pickups/year for eligible 1–6 unit properties (≤5 items each). Includes appliances/electronics/tires/furniture; not HHW.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
motor oil: Hartford has no permanent city HHW site. Take motor oil to MDC regional HazWaste collection events (themdc.org) — residents may attend any listed event. Phone (860) 278-3809.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Hartford recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. City of Hartford — Waste & Recycling is the official Hartford program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
