Windsor Junk Removal Without the Scale House

Huckleberry Road charges by the piece and by the ton

Windsor's Transfer Station on Huckleberry Road serves Windsor and Bloomfield residents and accepts only non-commercial household waste. To use it you need a residential permit. Bulky waste and demolition debris are weighed and charged by the ton, couches and upholstered chairs are charged per piece, and refrigerant appliances carry their own per-item charge. Electronics, mattresses, scrap metal, standard tires and small propane tanks go free. The amounts reset each fiscal year, so look at the town's current fee schedule.

The station is closed Thursday and Sunday, and the town asks drivers to reach the scale at least 30 minutes before closing. There is also a "take it or leave it" area where residents swap usable items, a good spot for a lamp or a bookcase that still has life in it.

Curbside trash, but no bulky route listed

Regular trash in Windsor is collected through Windsor Sanitation, and residents of the Windsor and Wilson fire districts pay a fire district tax that covers their pickup. The town's transfer station page does not list a curbside bulky service. So for most households, getting rid of a sectional, a basement of furniture or a shed full of old tools means a permit, a vehicle big enough for the job and a trip to the scale.

Ask about the town's hauler license

Windsor's transfer station page says contractors who haul solid waste in town must be licensed. Before any hauler loads your driveway, including a crew you reach through this site, ask them to confirm they hold it.

Connecticut's first English settlement

Windsor was settled as a trading post in 1633 and calls itself the first English settlement in the state. The town is a string of villages: Windsor Center, Poquonock, Rainbow, Wilson, Hayden Station and Deerfield. Its tobacco heritage runs deep, from the cigar wrapper leaf grown here since the 1800s to the 1961 film Parrish, shot on Windsor's tobacco farms. The 2010 census counted nearly 11,800 homes, and about a quarter of households were people living alone.

That mix produces two kinds of work. Long-held family homes, some of them very old, that need estate cleanouts when a parent moves to assisted living. And offices, warehouses and corporate space where a relocation leaves desks, cubicles and filing cabinets behind.

Home and office cleanouts

For homes, the crew clears attics, basements, garages and sheds, carefully in older houses near Windsor Center and quickly in the newer subdivisions. For businesses, crews remove office furniture, cubicle panels, file cabinets and break room appliances, and can work around your hours. Commercial waste cannot go to the town station, so it is routed to facilities that accept it. You get a price from the truck space needed, before anything moves.
