City collection Furniture is bulk trash in Binghamton. The code defines trash to include discarded household furniture, bedding and mattresses, and the refuse page lists couches, mattresses, end tables, tables, chairs and beds among the items the Sanitation Division collects. No charge. Code section 350 states that trash, which covers household furniture, is collected within the city on the regular schedule at no direct charge, and the current refuse page says trash collection stickers are no longer required. Confirm the sticker position with Public Works at 607-772-7020 if the city asks for one at set-out.
City collection A mattress counts as trash in the Binghamton code and sits on the refuse page household furniture list, so it moves on the regular collection day with the other bulk items. The firm condition is the wrap, because the 2026 schedule refuses unwrapped mattresses at the curb. No charge. The code states that trash, which it defines to include bedding and mattresses, is collected within the city on the regular schedule at no direct charge, and no mattress rate is published in the 2026 adopted fee schedule. Confirm the sticker position with Public Works at 607-772-7020 if the city asks for one at set-out.
City collection Refrigerators and air conditioners are named in the city household appliance list, and the 2026 adopted fee schedule prices a refrigerant unit as its own line under the refuse charge for pickup of various items. The pickup is by appointment, so the call and the charge go together. $50 per refrigerant unit, listed in the 2026 adopted fee schedule under the refuse charge for pickup of various items. The unit has to be scheduled for pickup with Public Works at 607-772-7020 before it is set out.
City collection Binghamton collects household garbage on the same day as recycling for the neighborhood route, and every bag set out has to be an official City garbage bag, because the city charges for garbage by the bag rather than by the curb stop. $2.19 per large City garbage bag at the 2026 adopted rate, with medium bags at $1.39 each and small bags at $0.50 each. The bags are the collection charge for household garbage. Medium and large bags are sold at the Treasurer's Office on the second floor of City Hall and at most grocery stores and retail pharmacies, and small bags only at the Treasurer's Office and the senior centers.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Binghamton collects garbage, recycling and bulk household items on one day a week for each neighborhood, and the Sanitation Division takes up to three bulk items per week at the curb. Garbage has to be in official City bags, and furniture and mattresses ride the same weekly collection, with the mattress wrapped before it goes out. Metal appliances are a different route: they move by appointment through Public Works, and a refrigerator or air conditioner is priced as a refrigerant unit. Electronics are refused at the curb, and construction and demolition debris on a demolition scale belongs at the Broome County Landfill. Dropcurb hauls residential items from addresses across Binghamton.

City cost & eligibility
$2.19 per large City garbage bag at the 2026 adopted rate, with medium bags at $1.39 each and small bags at $0.50 each. The bags are the collection charge for household garbage. Medium and large bags are sold at the Treasurer's Office on the second floor of City Hall and at most grocery stores and retail pharmacies, and small bags only at the Treasurer's Office and the senior centers.
When & how
Collection runs once a week: Tuesday for the Southside route, Wednesday for the First Ward, Downtown and the mapped Westside sections, Thursday for most of the Westside south of Main Street, and Friday for the Eastside, the Northside and the Southside north of Conklin Avenue. A listed holiday week shifts the day.
Get it ready
Drain the waste, bag it, and keep each bag at or under 50 pounds. Put the bags in a watertight container with a tight cover and handles, no larger than 33 gallons and no heavier than 50 pounds when full. Dry latex paint goes in a bag, while liquid and oil based paint are refused, and broken glass or pointed objects should be wrapped.
Bulk trash is anything too large or heavy to fit inside an official City bag, and Binghamton takes up to three of those items per week at the curb on the normal collection day. The code treats this material as trash, which the city says is collected on the regular schedule at no direct charge.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Code section 350 states that trash is collected within the city on the regular schedule at no direct charge, and the current refuse page says trash collection stickers are no longer required, so a bulk set-out is not a paid service. Ask Public Works at 607-772-7020 about the sticker position, because a separate code section still describes a paid bulky item sticker that the 2026 adopted fee schedule does not list.
When & how
Up to three bulk items per week, set out with the regular collection day for the address.
Get it ready
Bundle anything that could blow or scatter, keep a bundle under four feet and under 60 pounds, and keep the bulk items separate from the bagged garbage. Tires, oil, car batteries, paint, solvents, dirt, stone, masonry, pallets, demolition debris, electronics and unwrapped mattresses are refused at the curb.

Take the cushions off if that makes the piece easier to handle, bind a bed frame that weighs under 50 pounds, and keep the furniture clear of the bagged garbage. Set it between the curb and the sidewalk rather than in the street.

When & how
Counts toward the three bulk items allowed per week and goes out on the regular collection day for the address.
Get it ready
Wrap the mattress or box spring in plastic before it goes to the curb, keep it dry, and set it between the curb and the sidewalk rather than in the street. An unwrapped mattress is on the city refused list and can be left behind.
Large metal appliances leave Binghamton on a different route from the garbage truck. Public Works lists white goods and metal among its services, and both the refuse page and the 2026 schedule tell residents to call before an appliance goes to the curb, naming refrigerators and dryers.
City cost & eligibility
Public Works schedules appliance collection and publishes no general appliance rate in the 2026 adopted fee schedule, so confirm the charge when the appointment is booked at 607-772-7020.
When & how
By appointment with Public Works at 607-772-7020, not on the regular refuse day unless the pickup is booked that way.
Get it ready
Call and book the pickup, then keep the appliance out of the way and off the street until the appointment. Empty it first, and ask about securing or removing the doors when the pickup is booked.
Refrigerators and air conditioners are named in the city household appliance list, and the 2026 adopted fee schedule prices a refrigerant unit as its own line under the refuse charge for pickup of various items. The pickup is by appointment, so the call and the charge go together.

$50 per refrigerant unit, listed in the 2026 adopted fee schedule under the refuse charge for pickup of various items. The unit has to be scheduled for pickup with Public Works at 607-772-7020 before it is set out.
When & how
Book the pickup with Public Works at 607-772-7020, and the unit is collected on that appointment.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and book the pickup before it goes to the curb. Keep it upright and out of the way until the appointment, and ask about door removal when the pickup is booked.
Electronics are refused at the Binghamton curb. The refuse page and the 2026 schedule both list televisions, computers and printers among the items that will not be collected, and the working route is the Broome County Landfill, which takes them free from county residents.
City cost & eligibility
The Broome County Landfill takes electronics free from county residents, but the 2026 adopted city fee schedule still lists a television set at $25 each under the refuse charge for pickup of various items, so confirm the curbside position with Public Works at 607-772-7020 before a television is set out.
When & how
No curbside collection. The Broome County Landfill takes electronics Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.
Get it ready
Take the unit to the landfill with proof of Broome County residency and delete personal data first. The landfill takes computers, monitors, printers, televisions, VCRs, modems, stereos, laptops, keyboards, radios, fax machines, pagers and mobile phones, and refuses batteries, countertop appliances, telephones, answering machines, vacuum cleaners, humidifiers, smoke detectors and large appliances.
Binghamton takes prepared construction material from a household in small amounts and refuses construction and demolition debris as a category. Lumber, drywall, plaster, doors, flooring, carpeting, windows, tile and roofing are named on the refuse page, while dirt, stone, masonry, pallets and demolition debris belong at the county landfill.
City cost & eligibility
The 2026 adopted fee schedule charges $30 each for plywood and OSB board under the refuse charge for pickup of various items and publishes no other construction rate, so confirm the charge for the load with Public Works at 607-772-7020.
When & how
Out with the regular collection day and counted inside the three bulk item limit for the week.
Get it ready
Pull the nails and cut lumber to under five feet, then bundle and tie it at no more than 50 pounds. Put drywall, plaster, tile, flooring and roofing in a disposable container, keeping the volume to about three 32 gallon containers per pickup, and cut and tie carpeting longer than five feet or heavier than 50 pounds. Brick, block and concrete are clean fill and are never collected.
Exercise equipment appears on neither the accepted nor the refused list in Binghamton, so it moves as bulk household material, which the code defines as bulky material that is too large for a refuse container and is not specifically prohibited.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The code states that trash, which reaches bulky household material of this kind, is collected within the city on the regular schedule at no direct charge, and the 2026 adopted fee schedule publishes no equipment rate. Confirm the sticker position with Public Works at 607-772-7020 if the city asks for one at set-out.
When & how
Out with the regular collection day, inside the three bulk item limit for the week.
Get it ready
Break the machine down where that keeps every piece under 50 pounds or under four feet, bundle or tape the parts together, and keep the load out of the street. Call Public Works at 607-772-7020 first if the machine is metal enough to need the white goods route.
Items go between the curb and the sidewalk, never in the street, and they go out between 6 p.m. the evening before the collection day and 6 a.m. on the collection day. The code lets Public Works direct a different accessible spot when the normal location is impractical for the crew.
Three bulk items a week, bagged garbage inside City bags
Bulk trash is anything too large or heavy for an official City bag, and three of those items may go out in a week. Household garbage has to be in an official City bag at no more than 50 pounds, and containers have to be watertight with a tight cover, no larger than 33 gallons and no heavier than 50 pounds when full. A container does not replace the bag, because containerized garbage still has to be bagged.
Metal appliances and refrigerant units are collected by appointment with Public Works at 607-772-7020 rather than on the garbage route. Electronics are refused at the curb and go to the Broome County Landfill, and an unwrapped mattress will be left behind, so the appointment or the wrap has to happen before the item goes out.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

Three bulk items on your collection day
A household with a couch, a mattress, tables, chairs, a rug or another large item that will not fit inside a City bag.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Code section 350 states that trash is collected within the city on the regular schedule at no direct charge, and the current refuse page says trash collection stickers are no longer required. Confirm the sticker position with Public Works at 607-772-7020 if the city asks for one at set-out.
Arrange it
Set up to three items out with the regular refuse day for the address, between the curb and the sidewalk, after 6 p.m. the evening before and before 6 a.m. on collection day.
Three items a week, one collection day a week, and no tires, oil, car batteries, paint, solvents, dirt, stone, masonry, pallets, demolition debris, electronics or unwrapped mattresses.

Appliance pickup by appointment
A household with a refrigerator, air conditioner, washer, dryer, water heater, furnace or other large metal appliance.
Cost & conditions
From $50 per refrigerant unit in the 2026 adopted fee schedule. The published rate is the refrigerant unit line, and Public Works does not publish a rate for other appliances, so the pickup has to be scheduled at 607-772-7020 before the unit is set out.
Arrange it
Call Public Works at 607-772-7020, book the appliance pickup, and have the unit empty and accessible on the appointment.
By appointment only, and a unit that is not on the appointment list is not taken on the regular refuse route.
City of Binghamton Department of Public Works, Sanitation Division
Haul it to the Broome County Landfill
A household with electronics, construction and demolition debris, tires, yard waste or a mixed load the city will not take at the curb.
Cost & conditions
The retained county tip page, still headed New 2023 Tipping Fees, lists a $5 minimum and $55 per ton for household garbage, construction and demolition debris, bulk metals and clean fill, with $20 extra for an uncovered load, so confirm the current tip fee on 607-763-4450 before a trip.
Arrange it
Load the vehicle, cover the load, bring proof of Broome County residency and cash or a check, and drive to 286 Knapp Road during scale hours.
Broome County residents only, no out of county waste, credit cards are not accepted, and the scale closes at 2:45 p.m. on weekdays and 11:45 a.m. on Saturday.
The self-haul route out of Binghamton is the Broome County Landfill at 286 Knapp Road, open Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. The county takes household garbage, construction and demolition debris, bulk metals, clean fill, yard waste, tires and refrigerant units, charges by weight with a minimum load fee, and requires proof that the load came from a Broome County resident. Loads have to be covered, an uncovered load adds a charge, and the scale takes cash or a check. Electronics are the part that works in your favour: the landfill takes computers, monitors, printers, televisions, VCRs, stereos, laptops, keyboards, radios, fax machines, pagers and mobile phones free from county residents, while batteries, countertop appliances, telephones, answering machines, vacuum cleaners, humidifiers, smoke detectors and large appliances are refused. Municipal curbside stays the cheaper route for furniture, mattresses and bagged garbage, and an appliance still needs the appointment with Public Works before it can go out.

Household garbage, construction and demolition debris, bulk metals including large appliances, clean fill and aggregate, leaves and yard waste, tree trunks and stumps, tires, non-friable asbestos, and refrigerant units. Electronics are free for county residents and cover computers, monitors, printers, televisions, VCRs, modems, stereos, laptops, keyboards, radios, fax machines, pagers and mobile phones.
Broome County residents only with proof of residency, no out of county waste, every load covered with an extra charge for an uncovered load, and cash or check only because credit cards are not accepted. The electronics drop-off refuses batteries, countertop appliances, telephones, answering machines, vacuum cleaners, humidifiers, smoke detectors and large appliances.
Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. Closed Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
The retained county tip page lists a $5 minimum and $55 per ton for household garbage, construction and demolition debris, bulk metals and clean fill, and $20 for an uncovered load, but the readable copy carries a 2023 heading, so confirm the current tip fee and the electronics position on 607-763-4450 before a trip.
The county lists Red Barn as an electronics recycling outlet that takes all brands and types of electronics except CRT units.
Cathode ray tube televisions and monitors are not accepted, so a CRT has to go to the Broome County Landfill or another listed outlet. The county outlet list does not publish hours or a residency condition.
The county outlet list publishes no hours, so call 607-772-1888 before a trip.
The county list describes the pricing as the first three items free and $5 each after that, so confirm the current charge on 607-772-1888.
Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.
How much does pickup cost?+
Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.
Can I book a pickup for today?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.
Do my items need to be outside when I book?+
You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.
How many bulk items can I put out in Binghamton?+
Three in a week. Bulk trash is anything too large or heavy to go in an official City bag, and the city takes it at the curb on your regular collection day, set between the curb and the sidewalk. Tires, oil, car batteries, paint, solvents, dirt, stone, masonry, pallets, demolition debris, electronics and unwrapped mattresses are refused, so those have to go to the Broome County Landfill or wait for an appointment with Public Works.Official guidance
Does a mattress have to be wrapped in Binghamton?+
Yes. The 2026 refuse schedule puts unwrapped mattresses on the list that will not be collected at the curb, so wrap the mattress or box spring in plastic before it goes out. It counts as one of the three bulk items allowed in a week and is set between the curb and the sidewalk on your regular collection day.Official guidance
Do appliances need an appointment in Binghamton?+
Yes. Residents have to call Public Works at 607-772-7020 to schedule collection for appliances such as refrigerators and dryers, because white goods and metal are a separate route from the household garbage truck. Book the pickup first, then set the appliance out for the appointment rather than on the regular refuse day.Official guidance
Where do televisions and computers go in Binghamton?+
They do not go to the curb. The city refuses electronics in refuse collection, and New York has barred covered electronics from solid waste facilities since 2015. The route is the Broome County Landfill at 286 Knapp Road, which takes computers, monitors, printers, televisions, VCRs, modems, stereos, laptops, keyboards, radios, fax machines, pagers and mobile phones free from county residents with proof of residency.Official guidance
When does trash go out in Binghamton?+
Between 6 p.m. the evening before your collection day and 6 a.m. on the collection day, placed between the curb and the sidewalk rather than in the street. Garbage and recycling go out on the same day, and the day depends on the neighborhood: Tuesday for the Southside, Wednesday for the First Ward, Downtown and part of the Westside, Thursday for most of the Westside south of Main Street, and Friday for the Eastside, the Northside and the Southside north of Conklin Avenue.Official guidance
Does an apartment or a shared building change the rules in Binghamton?+
The container and set-out rules apply to a residence of any kind, and the code expects a building to have enough container capacity for its normal volume between collections, with a base standard of two containers per unit. Garbage still has to be in official City bags inside those containers, and a large appliance still needs the appointment with Public Works at 607-772-7020 before it is set out.Official guidance
What will Binghamton not pick up at the curb?+
Tires, oil, car batteries, paint, solvents, dirt, stone, masonry, pallets, demolition debris, electronics such as televisions and computers, and unwrapped mattresses are on the city refused list and will not be collected at the curb. Those items go to the Broome County Landfill at 286 Knapp Road, and an appliance or refrigerant unit has to be scheduled with Public Works at 607-772-7020 instead of going out on the regular refuse day.Official guidance
