Monroe REVISED Bulky Waste Pick Up Program

MONROE REVISED BULKY WASTE PICKUP PROGRAM

(Dial-A-Dump)

Due to several severe winters, the Department of Public Works has revised the Monroe Bulky Waste Pickup Program which will no longer run through the winter months. The Bulky Waste Pickup Program will now have pickups during the spring (March, April & May) and the fall (September, October and November) months. Reservations will be accepted throughout the year. Pickups will be scheduled by appointment only and occur on a weekly basis, depending on weather conditions and other conflicts that may arise within the department.

Pickups shall be scheduled by completing a Service Request on our website at www.monroect.org or by calling DPW at (203) 452-2814. Please be as precise as possible with your name, address, phone number and the description of the items to be picked up. Residents shall get a call back or email (if applicable) with a scheduled pickup date. Once your pickup is scheduled, it will be your responsibility to make note of the date. Reminder letters will not be sent out.

Please have all of your items separated behind the curb in an orderly fashion no earlier than 1 (one) week prior to your pick up or by 7:00 AM on the date of your pickup. Your items must be easily accessible to the Town equipment and personnel.

This is a service which the Town provides at no charge to residents and is for items that cannot be disposed of in your regular trash. Each residence will receive only one pickup per household per year.

ACCEPTABLE ITEMS: sofas, chairs, refrigerators (doors removed), rugs, rug pads, mattresses, toys, dishwashers, washing machines, gas grills (tank removed), lawn mowers (oil/gas removed), bicycles, etc.

UNACCEPTABLE ITEMS: DO NOT PUT OUT!!

· Hazardous materials like oil-based paint, motor oil, pesticides, chemicals (There is a Hazardous Waste Day - twice a year . . . watch for notices.)

· RECYCLABLE materials ( Blue bin items)

· Demolition materials like ceramic tiles, asphalt shingles, sheetrock, insulation, concrete or stone (To dispose of these items, tickets ($12 ticket covers 125 pounds) must be purchased at Town Hall Public Works Office from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm only.)

· Garbage, dead animals, clothes, fuels (gas, diesel, kerosene), logs, brush, leaves, small electronics (Small electronics go to Garder Road Landfill Friday and Saturday from 10 am to 3 pm free of charge.)

· Explosives, oil tanks, oxygen tanks

Items must be separated in piles at the curb. Mixed piles and unacceptable items will absolutely not be picked up. Refrigerators and/or freezers must have the doors and food removed. It is the resident’s responsibility to dispose of all unacceptable items left at the curb. Please call the Public Works Department (203) 452-2814 if you have any questions.
