Ever since the city began charging $50 for bulk pickup, there has been a significant uptick in illegal dumping: furniture, tires, TVs, mattresses, etc. can be found on curb strips all over New Haven. The problem “seems” to have gotten even worse since residents no longer can schedule pickups via phone or online, but are required to go to Public Works and pay in person.
So could someone with an insider access to Public Works expenses provide us with a “before” and “after” breakdown?
Is the city actually saving money by charging for bulk pickups?
Or is the cost of picking up and disposing of illegal bulk piles throughout the city costing more?
Despite what such research ultimately finds, the significant decline in “quality of life” due to junk piles all over our neighborhoods is indisputable.

I totally agree the city was cleaner when collection of bulk trash was free and regularly done by neighborhood. Also a lot of useful stuff got recycled; I got a door I needed and a buffet that I am still using years later from the sidewalk in East Rock!
If you are poor, or don't have transportation or the time it takes, you can't afford it or can't get to their office to schedule/ pay it. It's dumb that in this day and age you can't schedule and pay for bulk trash pickup by computer! Or at least by phone and charge card.
