Norwalk sets extra large-item trash pickup for Nov. 2-6

Norwalk households can set out three large items or nine extra trash bags at no additional charge during the city's Nov. 2-6 pickup week.

Collection will take place on each household's regular trash day, according to the city's large-item pickup notice. Each extra bag must be no larger than 33 gallons.

The allowance can be mixed: One large item counts as three bags, so a household could put out one item and six bags.

The city limits pickup to household items, including mattresses, couches and televisions. Construction and remodeling debris, such as carpet, lumber and drywall, is excluded. Items containing Freon must be tagged to show the refrigerant has been removed.
