East Hartford Waste Services

Effective July 1, 2022

The Town of East Hartford and the East Hartford Public Works Department announce changes to waste collection services that will affect all 1-6 family properties and their occupants effective July 1, 2022. The service changes will not disrupt current collection days. 

Effective July 1, 2022, All American Waste will perform curbside pickup of regular waste green carts. Residents are urged to follow new rules for setting out both the refuse and recycling carts. Carts must be out the night before your collection day. Residents can no longer place their carts on the curb the morning of pick-up. Carts put out later than 5 am will not be collected until the following week.

The number of holidays that result in waste pick up service delays will be reduced to 6 per year and can be found here. Please know, your weekly trash collection schedule will not be impacted. A street-by-street waste collection schedule is available here.
