Outside those windows, residents use the city Transfer Station on Asylum Street.
Limits: Only items on the city's accepted list during your district's scheduled period. Check bridgeportct.gov for the current phase schedule and list.
Set-out: At the curb during your district's scheduled date period, separate from carts, not before.

Bridgeport, Connecticut takes a two-track approach to bulk waste: a year-round Transfer Station at 475 Asylum Street where residents self-haul any time Monday through Saturday, plus a seasonal Household Bulk Trash Pickup Program that runs two rounds per year on dates assigned by council district. The city does not provide routine weekly curbside bulk collection, if you can’t make it to the Transfer Station and missed your district’s seasonal pickup, your options are donation, paid pickup, or waiting for the next seasonal round. Weekly trash collection is standard; recycling is bi-weekly on the same day. Connecticut’s E-Cycles program covers electronics statewide. This guide covers every option for City of Bridgeport residents.
The Bridgeport rule for pool tables: Disassembled, a pool table may be accepted during the window. Most people hire a crew.

Why pool tables are different from ordinary bulk. Nobody can move a slate table intact. The slate cracks if the frame flexes, the table does not fit through a door, and the weight exceeds what four people can safely carry. Every disposal option therefore starts with disassembly, which takes two people two to four hours with a socket set, a staple remover, and a drill.
Three mistakes that get pool tables left at the curb:
Paid options are for tables that will not sell, basements with tight stairs, and cities that exclude slate from bulk pickup.
Pool table movers (disassembly only)
$200 to $500Billiards service companies will disassemble a table and leave the pieces staged for bulk pickup or a hauler. This is the right call when you cannot do the slate yourself.
Ask them to haul the slate if your city excludes it; many have a landscape outlet for it.
