Derby Town Clerk shares information on transfer station, bulk pickup

Sharing message from Derby City/Town Clerk Marc Garofalo:


DERBY - As springtime is upon us, we all have received a number of phone calls, questions, and messages regarding the Derby Transfer Station and Bulk Pick up.  

Here is the current status:

Pursuant to the contract between the City of Derby and City Carting, Inc. executed and received in this office Aug. 28, 2020, the following terms apply:

Transfer Station
The Transfer Station hours are:
7:00 am to 3:30 pm - Monday to Friday
8:00 am to 3:00 pm - Saturday
Closed - Sunday and National Holidays

The sign at the Transfer Station is going to be updated by Director of Public Works Edward Armeno.

Bulk Pick-Up
Curbside BULK Pick-up - Any Derby resident or property owner with the exception of Real 
Estate Companies and Landlords who are in the process of selling or renting to new occupants
is eligible for curbside bulk pick-up. All pick-ups must be "by appointment only" and limited to one pick-up every six (6) months. Appointments can

be arranged by calling the Transfer Station (203) 736-1464 during regular business hours.

Callers will be informed what can be disposed of and will be assigned a date for the
pickup. The Company shall collect the Bulk Pick-up items year-round and will transport
and dispose of the items at the Primary Site.

In an effort to have a coordinated effort, Director of Public Works Edward Armeno is coordinating with representatives of City Carting on a process that will best meet the needs of the residents of the City of Derby. 

The details of that process will be distributed as soon as they are available.
