Residents disposing of some bulk items and appliances will be required to pay a fee to cover the costs of disposal starting with the January 4, 2021 collection.
The Bedford Select Board approved the fees last March but delayed implementation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Editor’s Note 12/04/2020: Fees will be announced soon
The fees will apply to appliances with Freon like refrigerators and air conditioners; other appliances like stoves, dryers, and microwaves; small appliances such as microwaves, printers, vacuums, and other electronic waste. Also, large metal items like bicycles, lawnmowers, snowblowers, grills, and exercise equipment will require a fee. The fees for televisions and monitors will be based on the size of the screen.

- Bulk Waste is collected on Mondays.
- Appliances, televisions/monitors, and electronics are collected on Wednesdays.
