Bulky Waste and Scrap Metal Collection

On Thursday, October 23, the Town of Cheshire will be conducting its curbside Bulky Waste Collection. Ferraro & Sons, Inc. will again be picking up at Old Towne.

Items are to be placed in one location in each cul-de-sac. It is our suggestion that this be in a designated visitor parking spot closest to the entrance to the cul-de-sac. For the convenience of unit owners, items may be placed in the one designated location starting at 8 am, Wednesday, October 22.

The contractor is unable to sort materials during collection. Therefore, bulky waste items and scrap metal items that are mixed together will not be collected. Weekly garbage collection is to be kept separate from this area and must not be put out until 6 pm the night before pickup.

ACCEPTABLE ITEMS
Stoves, Microwaves, Washing Machines, Metal lawn furniture, water heaters, gas grills (no tanks), air conditioners, metal lights, exercise equipment, large metal toys, doors, window frames, dishwashers, dryers, Refrigerators (doors must be taken off), metal bed rails, lawn mowers, snow blowers, tool boxes, garden tools, bicycles, roto tillers, metal pipes, metal trash cans, safes, fans, gas/electric heaters.
