We offer FREE weekly curbside collection service, making it easy for you to get rid of your trash and keep our city clean.
New Yorkers throw out over 10,000 tons of garbage a day. We are committed to removing the mountains of black bags on New York City streets, reclaiming public space, and improving the quality of life for all New Yorkers.
You can request DSNY trash and recycling collection for an address that has never had service or had previously been vacant.
Items that cannot be recycled, reused or donated should be discarded as trash.
Right now, residential buildings of any size (single-family and multi-unit) have two options:
To ensure collection, all waste must be set out by midnight.
Bins should be stored inside or in alleyways, courtyards, or other outdoor areas away from public sidewalks. If space is not available, you may store bins within three feet of your building. Containers must be kept neat and allow for pedestrian travel. Enclosures on the sidewalk are subject to NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations.
Residential Buildings with 1-9 Units
Residential Buildings with 10+ Units
Purchase your official NYC Bins at www.bins.nyc or by calling 1-855-NYC-BINS.
A large item (also known as bulk) is something that is too large to fit into a bin or bag. NYC residents can get free curbside removal of large items.
You can report that your trash, recycling, or compost was not picked up starting at 8:00 AM the day after your collection day.
To report missed collection, call 311 or submit a complaint online.
