East Windsor is a Hartford-area town with curbside trash and every-other-week single-stream recycling, plus Public Works programs for the bulky items carts cannot take. Seasonal drop-offs at the F&G Transfer Station on Shoham Road handle furniture and metal for residents who bring proof of address, while refrigerators, mattresses, and similar specialty items route to the Woolam Road DPW yard on weekdays. Knowing which list belongs at which gate prevents a rejected load.
The 2026 spring bulky waste and metal drop-off ran Saturday, April 18, from 7:30 AM to 11:30 AM at the F&G Transfer Station, 9 Shoham Road off Route 140. The town posts each drop-off date on eastwindsor-ct.gov and at Town Hall, 11 Rye Street; call Public Works at (860) 292-7073 for the next one. It is for East Windsor residents only.
The driver must show a valid driver's license and a valid vehicle registration with an East Windsor address. Property owners who do not live in town should contact Public Works ahead of time for an alternate residency method.
