The pickup service is free for those with homes on public streets, with the exception of refrigerators, air conditioners or dehumidifiers — for each one you’ll have to buy a $15 sticker.

The Gorham’s Pond Tide Gates will be opened again this Spring for repairs, the Darien Department of Public Works announced. The gates will be opened on Monday, May 20, 2024 and closed again on Friday, May 24. The opening or closing of gates may be delayed due to weather. The gates cannot be operated following extensive rain events or a series of very high tides because of the large volume of water flowing over the dam. Tide gates will be closed before Memorial Day (Monday, May 27).

There are a number of rules and a list of items that won’t be picked up. Two important restrictions are: There won’t be any pickups on May 27 or 28, and each home can have only one large-items pickup in each calendar year (other than the town’s Christmas tree pickups). Residents should have their debris placed at the curb by 7 a.m. on the date of their scheduled pickup, and if items are not on the curb by that day at 7 a.m., they must  reschedule pickup.
