Show All Answers

1. What do I do with computers, monitors, and TVs?

These items cannot be thrown out with garbage because they contain hazardous components which should not be burned. These items are picked up by appointment only. More...

2. How much solid waste can I put at the curb?

There is no limit tot he amount of solid waste we will pick up. However, garbage must be placed in cans or heavy duty plastic bags not to exceed 75 pounds.

3. Do you pick up furniture?

Yes. Furniture such as mattresses, box springs, couches, chairs and other household items may be placed curbside with your garbage on your garbage day. If you have a very large clean up please call the Refuse Collection Bureau ahead of time at (914) 235-4654.

4. What time will my garbage be picked up?

Our crews start at 7:00 am (6:00 am during summer months) Monday through Friday. Since many things can affect the timing of how the routes run, all items must be placed curbside at those specified times.

5. Why was only some of my trash taken away?

There are a variety of reasons why trash is not picked up.
-It wasn't placed out on tim (7:00 am, 6:00 am in summer months)
-It was not placed at the curb
-Refuse was not containerized properly
-Containers exceeded the weight limit of 75lb.s
-Something in your trash was not allowed (building materials, oil, car parts, etc.)
-Refuse was jammed in containers, not allowing it to fall free
-It was not your pickup day (North End- Monday & Thursday, South End-Tuesday & Friday)
-It wasn't collected during the regular day in a Holdiay Week

6. Can I drop off my garbage or recyling for disposal?

Unfortunately no. The City offers curbside collection only since we have no dump or incinerator.
