When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard and containers
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Furniture and other larger items
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

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.
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.
City cost & eligibility
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.
When & how
Out with the regular collection day, inside the three bulk item limit for the week.
Get it ready
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.
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.
City cost & eligibility
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.
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.
City cost & eligibility
$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.
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.
City of Binghamton Department of Public Works, Sanitation Division
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.

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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Binghamton.
How much does bulk junk removal cost in Binghamton?+
A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Can you pick up bags of junk today?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
Do I count every object inside a bag or box?+
No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.
Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?+
Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.
Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?+
Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
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
Will Binghamton take a couch from the curb?+
Yes, as bulk trash on your regular collection day. Couches are named on the city household furniture list, and the weekly limit is three bulk items, which also covers mattresses and other large household pieces. Set the couch between the curb and the sidewalk, keep it out of the street, and keep it clear of the bagged garbage.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
What does Binghamton charge to take a refrigerator?+
The pickup is scheduled with Public Works at 607-772-7020, and the 2026 adopted fee schedule prices a refrigerant unit under the refuse charge for pickup of various items. Confirm the current charge when the appointment is booked, because the refrigerator or air conditioner has to be arranged before it goes to the curb.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
Can I put a treadmill out for collection in Binghamton?+
Exercise equipment is not on the city refused list, so it moves as bulk household material on your regular collection day, inside the three item weekly limit. Break it down so pieces stay under 50 pounds and under four feet, keep the bundle out of the street, and call Public Works at 607-772-7020 first if the machine is metal enough to need the white goods pickup instead.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
