Trash Container Rules

The Town of Branford has begun enforcing the longstanding overweight/ oversized trash container rule. 

Effective December 30, 2013, the Town’s refuse hauler will no longer collect trash from oversized or overweight containers.  

Acceptable containers must be 50 gallons or less in size, weigh less than 50 pounds and have handles.  

Any trash in non-conforming containers will not be collected after December 30th.  

An orange sticker will be placed on your trash container indicating if it is non-compliant and needs to be replaced; please be on the lookout in the coming weeks for any such sticker.  

Your cooperation and understanding is greatly appreciated to ensure that there are no interruptions in service.
