Call-In Bulky Waste Collection

Pilot Program Begins January 2018

Beginning January 2018, Residents of the 4^th Taxing District must call Customer Service to request a bulky waste collection. This pilot program is available to residents that receive City Garbage collection.

During this Pilot Program, the 4^th Taxing District has been divided into four (4) sections and will be assigned one bulky waste pick up a month. The collection day will be on a Wednesday.

The map is on the City’s website: http://www.norwalkct.org/DocumentCenter/View/12358

For Example, in January 2018 the following is the schedule for Bulky Collection:

• 1^st Wednesday (Dark Green): Wednesday, January 3, 2018

If there is a 5^th Wednesday in a month – there will be no Collection scheduled.
