Farmington Bulk Trash Pick-up Starts October 13

Bulk trash pick-up runs between Oct. 13 and 17.

For Farmington residents who have trash collection by the Town’s contractor, Waste Material Trucking Company, Inc., the Town-wide bulky waste collection program will begin Monday, October 13, 2014.
During the week of October 13 – 17, 2014, all residents who have trash collection by the Town’s contractor are invited to leave their bulk items curbside the night before their regular collection day. Bulk items will be picked up on your normal trash pickup day.
Separate bulk trucks will pick up tires, appliances and metal items. These items should be separated from regular bulk items and four feet (4’) from the Town of Farmington approved Trash and Recycling Carts. Small bulk items should be bundled, boxed or bagged. Tires should be removed from their rims. The weight for all acceptable items is limited to the manual lifting by two persons. Six feet (6’) is the maximum length.
