Extra bags of trash (lid should close on trash container) will not be taken by the trash collector unless there is an extra bag tag attached to each 30-35 gallon bag. The tags can be purchased for $4.00 per tag in the Town Hall, Revenue of Collector’s office, located at 4 South Eagleville Road, Storrs, CT. Tie one tag onto each extra 30-35 gallon bag, and it will be collected. Some residents take their extra trash to the transfer station. For the transfer station location and hours go to http://www.mansfieldct.gov/1564/Transfer-Station. The cost is $4.00 per 30-35 gallon bag. Once a year in December, the Town offers extra household trash pick-up. This does not include bulky waste items. The notice about extra pick-up is posted on the website and included in the quarterly bill inserts.
