Get the sticker at the Tax Collector's Office in Town Hall, 1019 Main Street, with a driver's license and registration showing your Branford address; your car taxes must be current. The vehicle can't have commercial plates, be used for business or carry more than one ton. The sticker goes on the driver's side and can't be moved to another car.
Borrowing a truck? Buy a $1 trip pass at the Tax Collector's Office (good for one trip within 30 days, up to 5 at a time). It's only for material from your own home that you didn't hire anyone to produce or haul.
What it takes, and what it won't
Household trash (including bulky items), appliances (leave Freon lines uncut and remove refrigerator doors), mattresses, electronics, cardboard and recycling, scrap metal, textiles, books and media, rechargeable batteries, fluorescent bulbs, leaves, up to 4 passenger tires and 5 gallons of motor oil. Brush (8 feet long at most) and construction debris such as wallboard, tile and roofing are limited to 1 ton per project; bigger jobs need a dumpster.
