City collection Furniture is on the town's special pickup list, along with steel furniture and steel file cabinets, so a couch or table is scheduled with the department rather than put out on a regular refuse day. Convertible sofas are tied and closed before collection. The town publishes no fee for a furniture special pickup. Call the Sanitation Department at 516-378-4210 to schedule the piece and confirm the terms, including whether it has to wait for a particular collection day.
City collection A mattress or box spring is a special pickup item in Levittown, and bedding has to be sealed inside a bedbug proof bag before it is placed at the curb. Levittown is in the town department's own collection area, so residents call the department rather than a special sanitation district. No fee is published for a special pickup of bedding. Call the Town of Hempstead Department of Sanitation at 516-378-4210 with the piece and the address, and confirm how the bagged bedding is scheduled and collected.
City collection Appliances are special pickup items in Levittown and the list names refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, stoves, washing machines, dryers, hot water heaters, humidifiers, snow blowers, water softeners and furnaces. Units that hold freon are collected separately, and refrigerator doors have to come off. No fee is published for an appliance special pickup. Call the Sanitation Department at 516-378-4210 to schedule the unit, and confirm whether a freon unit is collected on a separate route from the rest of the load.

Each route has its own limits. No fee is published for special pickup or for the Clean-Up Days collection. Call the Sanitation Department at 516-378-4210 to confirm the route for a specific load, and note that trailers of any size pay commercial disposal rates at the Homeowner Disposal Area.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Levittown is a hamlet, and the Town of Hempstead Department of Sanitation is the agency that collects there. Household refuse goes out in cans of 45 gallons or less that weigh no more than 75 pounds, put at the curb before 5 a.m. on the collection day and no earlier than 7 p.m. the night before, and cardboard boxes cannot be used as the container. Anything large is a special pickup: appliances, bulky metal, furniture, mattresses, water heaters, lawn mowers, steel furniture and tires are all on the published request list, with freon units collected separately and oil tanks cleaned and cut in half. Mattresses and box springs have to be sealed in a bedbug proof bag first. Electronics may not go in the trash or at the curb at all, so televisions and computers leave through a residential e-waste pickup, the town Homeowner Disposal Area in Merrick or a rotating e-cycling event, and household chemicals wait for a S.T.O.P. collection day.

Get it ready
Enclose the mattress or box spring completely inside one bedbug proof bag and seal it, using a heavy duty bag from a new mattress if one is available, and keep the bag intact until the crew takes it. The department treats loose bedding as a regulation violation.

New York prohibits putting electronic waste in the trash or at the curb for collection, and Levittown follows it. Televisions, computers, monitors, printers and similar devices leave through a residential e-waste pickup, the Homeowner Disposal Area or a rotating e-cycling event. Cell phones are not accepted.
City cost & eligibility
No fee is published for the town's e-cycling routes. Call the S.T.O.P. and e-cycling line at 516-378-4210 option 6, or 516-378-8484 for the residential pickup, and confirm which route to use for the device you have.
When & how
Arrange a residential e-waste pickup at 516-378-8484, drop the device at the Homeowner Disposal Area at 1600 Merrick Road in Merrick during its open hours, or attend an e-cycling event, which runs from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from a computer, tablet or phone before handover, and unplug the lead, mercury and battery material before a screen leaves the house where that is possible. Cell phones are not on the accepted list, and printed circuit boards should not be broken up.
Construction debris is not part of the curbside refuse collection and it is excluded from Clean-Up Days, so the town route is the Homeowner Disposal Area, where debris has to be bundled, bagged or in cans and masonry is capped per trip.
City cost & eligibility
No per load charge is published for a residential drop-off at the Homeowner Disposal Area. Confirm the load rules and the current terms with the Sanitation Department at 516-378-4210 option 8 before the trip, since trailers of any size are charged commercial disposal rates.
When & how
Bring the material to the Homeowner Disposal Area at 1600 Merrick Road in Merrick during its open hours, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. or Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., except town holidays.

Exercise equipment is not named on the town's special pickup list, which is described as including but not limited to the items printed on it, so the machine is confirmed with the department before it goes to the curb.
City cost & eligibility
No rate is published for an item the town does not name. Call the Sanitation Department at 516-378-4210 and describe the machine, then confirm whether it is scheduled as a special pickup or taken to the Homeowner Disposal Area as metal or furniture.
When & how
Confirm the item first, then either schedule the special pickup or take the machine to the Homeowner Disposal Area during its open hours.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it comes apart, remove loose weights and the console, and keep the frame dry and manageable for two people. If it goes to the drop-off it should be a residential load in a non-commercial vehicle.
Large items run through special pickup, day to day rubbish runs through the regular refuse cans, and the town also runs Clean-Up Days for bagged or bundled extra rubbish. Each route has its own limits.
City cost & eligibility
No fee is published for special pickup or for the Clean-Up Days collection. Call the Sanitation Department at 516-378-4210 to confirm the route for a specific load, and note that trailers of any size pay commercial disposal rates at the Homeowner Disposal Area.
When & how
Regular refuse goes out before 5 a.m. on the collection day and no earlier than 7 p.m. the night before. Special pickups are scheduled by phone, and the published 2026 Clean-Up Days fall on Wednesday dates from January 14 through March 25.
Get it ready
Cans may not exceed 45 gallons and refuse may not weigh more than 75 pounds per bag or can, and cardboard boxes may not be used to hold refuse. Loose items for Clean-Up Days have to be bagged or bundled at roughly two by four feet and no more than 75 pounds, and oil, car batteries, tires, construction debris, large furniture, appliances, windows and freon items are excluded from that collection.
Household chemicals never go in the refuse or into a special pickup load. The town runs the S.T.O.P. program on scheduled days around the township, and latex and water based paint is the one coating the Homeowner Disposal Area accepts.
City cost & eligibility
No fee is published for a S.T.O.P. collection day. Call 516-378-4210 option 6 to confirm the next event, what is accepted, and whether any item needs special handling.
When & how
Bring the material to a S.T.O.P. collection day, which runs from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at rotating sites. The published 2026 calendar lists North Woodmere on October 18, South Bellmore on November 14 and East Meadow on December 6, after the Levittown event in July.
Get it ready
Keep products in their original containers with the lids tight, pack them upright in a box with newspaper or cardboard between them, and keep chemicals that could react apart in the vehicle. Do not leave the load in a hot vehicle, and do not use a commercial vehicle, because commercial, school and home business waste is refused.
Out before 5 a.m., never before 7 p.m. the night before
Household refuse goes to the curb before 5 a.m. on the collection day and no earlier than 7 p.m. the night before. Cans may be no larger than 45 gallons and no bag or can may weigh more than 75 pounds, and cardboard boxes may not be used to hold refuse.

Request the pickup with the Sanitation Department, then place the material at the curb for the assigned collection.
A mattress or box spring has to be enclosed in one bedbug proof bag and sealed before it is placed at the curb, and a heavy duty bag from a new mattress works when the piece is completely inside it. Bedding that is not bagged is treated as a violation of the department's regulations.
Appliances containing freon are collected separately, oil storage tanks must be cleaned and cut in half, glass should be taped to prevent shattering, refrigerator doors have to be removed under state law, and convertible sofas must be tied and closed so they cannot open while being handled.
The Merrick drop-off requires residency and a non-commercial vehicle
The Homeowner Disposal Area at 1600 Merrick Road in Merrick asks for proof of residency such as a driver's license or a tax bill and serves the unincorporated areas, which includes Levittown, but not Sanitation District 1 or the incorporated villages other than Hempstead and Freeport. Loads come in non-commercial vehicles, one trip per vehicle each day, trailers of any size pay commercial rates, and no medical or hazardous waste is accepted.
Clean-Up Days give residents a chance to set out extra rubbish that is bagged or bundled at roughly two by four feet and no more than 75 pounds. Oil, car batteries, tires, construction debris, large furniture, appliances, windows and items containing freon are excluded and belong with special pickup or a S.T.O.P. event instead.
