Bulky pickup in New Haven
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
New Haven mattresss: go by bulk appointment for eligible city trash customers (203-946-7700). If appointments are suspended, use Residential Drop Off at the transfer station.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
Take motor oil to HazWaste Central — 90 Sargent Drive, New Haven — Saturday mornings May–October 9:00–12:00 (excl. holiday weekends). HHW is not accepted at the transfer station.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Electronics including e waste mixed use the same verified HHW/e-waste pathway — wipe data before drop-off. Facility: HazWaste Central — 90 Sargent Drive.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
New Haven 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 New Haven — Bulk Trash is the official New Haven 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.
