City collection No readable Mount Vernon list names furniture, and the city states only that some items cannot be collected. A couch therefore falls under the general large item rules, which require it to be bundled, covered and secured on the collection day, with the item route to be confirmed by telephone. The city publishes no furniture price and no furniture program on any readable page, so confirm with the Bureau of Sanitation on 914-665-2465 whether a couch is collected curbside and on what day. Placing rubbish without following the bundling, covering and securing rules can be fined up to 1,000 dollars.
City collection No readable Mount Vernon page names a mattress route, and the appointment pickup the city does publish is described as a metal pickup, which a mattress is not. The published requirement is therefore the general one: bundled, covered and secured on the collection day. The city publishes no mattress fee or mattress service, so confirm with the Bureau of Sanitation on 914-665-2465 whether bedding is collected curbside and how it should be packaged. The mattress does not fit the April to September metal pickup because that service is described as metal items.
City collection Appliances are the one fully published item program in Mount Vernon. Metal pickups run from April to September by appointment, and the city names hot water tanks, stoves, washers and dryers, metal cabinets, metal desks, metal sinks, cast iron tubs, grills without propane tanks and sofa bed frames, with a refrigerator accepted only when the Freon has been removed. The appointment service is described as a metal pickup with no published fee, so confirm any charge with the Bureau of Sanitation on 914-665-2465 when booking. A refrigerator has to have the Freon removed before pickup, and a plastic-bodied or non-metal appliance is not covered by the published list, so ask about those specifically.
City collection Mount Vernon publishes placement rules for large items rather than an item list. Anything that will not fit in a container has to be compactly bundled, covered and securely tied so it cannot scatter, containers are capped at 35 gallons or two yards, and the city warns that non-compliance can be fined up to 1,000 dollars. The one item route it publishes is an appointment service for metal items between April and September. The city describes refuse collection as part of service to Mount Vernon taxpayers and publishes no price for a large item pickup, so confirm what applies at the address with the Bureau of Sanitation on 914-665-2465. The only scheduled service with published conditions is the April to September metal pickup by appointment, and the penalty for placing rubbish incorrectly is published as up to 1,000 dollars.
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?
Mount Vernon collects its own refuse and recycling through the Bureau of Sanitation, which serves city taxpayers on an established schedule and runs weekly recycling for residents and business owners. The city's published details are precise about placement and thin about items. Anything too large for a container has to be compactly bundled, covered and securely tied so it cannot scatter, containers may not exceed 35 gallons or two yards, and failing to comply can bring a fine of up to 1,000 dollars under chapter 140 of the city code. The one item program the city publishes is an appointment service for metal: cast iron tubs, grills without propane tanks, hot water tanks, metal cabinets, metal desks, metal sinks, refrigerators with the Freon removed, sofa bed frames, stoves, and washers and dryers are picked up between April and September by calling 914-665-2465. Yard waste runs from April and has to be in an open container or a brown paper refuse bag. Furniture, mattresses, electronics, construction debris, tires and chemicals have no readable city route, so those each end with a call to the bureau rather than a guess.

City cost & eligibility
The city describes refuse collection as part of service to Mount Vernon taxpayers and publishes no price for a large item pickup, so confirm what applies at the address with the Bureau of Sanitation on 914-665-2465. The only scheduled service with published conditions is the April to September metal pickup by appointment, and the penalty for placing rubbish incorrectly is published as up to 1,000 dollars.
When & how
Set large items out on the collection day for the address, bundled, covered and secured, and book a metal pickup by appointment between April and September on 914-665-2465.
Get it ready
Bundle, cover and tie anything too large for a container so animals and wind cannot scatter it, keep containers within the 35 gallon or two yard limit, keep lids watertight, and keep the property free of rodent harbourage, because the flyer cites those rules and the fine for failing them.
No readable Mount Vernon list names furniture, and the city states only that some items cannot be collected. A couch therefore falls under the general large item rules, which require it to be bundled, covered and secured on the collection day, with the item route to be confirmed by telephone.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no furniture price and no furniture program on any readable page, so confirm with the Bureau of Sanitation on 914-665-2465 whether a couch is collected curbside and on what day. Placing rubbish without following the bundling, covering and securing rules can be fined up to 1,000 dollars.
When & how
Ask the bureau for the collection day at the address, then put the piece out bundled, covered and secured rather than loose at the curb.
Get it ready
Secure the piece so it cannot blow or be dragged open, keep glass and mirrors taped if any are attached, keep it clear of the sidewalk, and keep anything reusable out of the pile and offer it for donation first.
No readable Mount Vernon page names a mattress route, and the appointment pickup the city does publish is described as a metal pickup, which a mattress is not. The published requirement is therefore the general one: bundled, covered and secured on the collection day.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no mattress fee or mattress service, so confirm with the Bureau of Sanitation on 914-665-2465 whether bedding is collected curbside and how it should be packaged. The mattress does not fit the April to September metal pickup because that service is described as metal items.
When & how
Confirm the collection day and the set-out method with the bureau before the unit leaves the property.
Get it ready
Wrap or bag the unit so it stays dry and cannot be scattered, keep it out of the containers, and count a mattress and box spring as two items when asking.
Appliances are the one fully published item program in Mount Vernon. Metal pickups run from April to September by appointment, and the city names hot water tanks, stoves, washers and dryers, metal cabinets, metal desks, metal sinks, cast iron tubs, grills without propane tanks and sofa bed frames, with a refrigerator accepted only when the Freon has been removed.
City cost & eligibility
The appointment service is described as a metal pickup with no published fee, so confirm any charge with the Bureau of Sanitation on 914-665-2465 when booking. A refrigerator has to have the Freon removed before pickup, and a plastic-bodied or non-metal appliance is not covered by the published list, so ask about those specifically.
When & how
Call 914-665-2465 to book a pickup between April and September, since the service is published as running only in that window.
Get it ready
Remove the Freon from a refrigerator before the appointment, empty the unit, and keep the appliance off the sidewalk until the appointment date.
The city publishes no electronics collection, and the county pages that carry the household electronics rules could not be read for this packet. Electronics therefore stay a confirm instruction rather than a named facility.
City cost & eligibility
No city rate or county rate for electronics could be verified, because the City of Mount Vernon names no electronics drop-off on any readable page and Westchester County's guideline pages for electronics, monitors and televisions could not be retrieved for this packet. Confirm the current route with the Bureau of Sanitation on 914-665-2465.
When & how
Ask the bureau where a television or computer goes before it is put out, and do not leave it at the curb in the meantime.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before a computer or phone leaves the house, keep the device out of the refuse and recycling containers, and keep batteries separate.
No Mount Vernon page that could be read names a construction or demolition route, while the placement rules do cover material that will not fit a container. Renovation debris therefore has to be confirmed with the bureau rather than assumed collectible.
City cost & eligibility
No city rate is published for construction or demolition material and no facility is named on a readable page, so confirm with the Bureau of Sanitation on 914-665-2465. Note that placing rubbish without bundling, covering and securing it can be fined up to 1,000 dollars, which makes an unanswered renovation pile a real risk.
When & how
Ask the bureau before any renovation material goes to the curb.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the refuse containers and out of a set-out pile until the bureau answers, and keep nails, glass and fasteners secured so nobody handling the pile is injured.
Exercise equipment is not named by the city, and the metal pickup list, although it includes items such as sofa bed frames and metal desks, does not mention exercise machines, so the route has to be confirmed.
City cost & eligibility
No published price or list covers an exercise machine, so confirm with the Bureau of Sanitation on 914-665-2465 whether a machine can be collected and whether it qualifies for the metal pickup between April and September.
When & how
Ask the bureau first, then use the collection day or book a metal pickup if it qualifies.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it will come apart, keep the pieces secured together so they cannot scatter, and remove the battery for separate handling.
No readable Mount Vernon page names a tire route, and the county's tire guideline page could not be retrieved, so tires stay a confirm instruction with the bureau rather than an invented drop-off.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no tire fee and names no tire site, and the county guideline page for tires could not be read for this packet, so confirm with the Bureau of Sanitation on 914-665-2465 before moving a tire.
When & how
Ask the bureau where tires go. There is no published city tire collection day.
Get it ready
Keep tires out of the refuse and recycling containers and out of a curbside pile, and ask about used motor oil and batteries at the same time, because those are county guideline subjects rather than city services.
The city publishes no household hazardous waste route on any readable page, and the county guideline pages for paint, batteries and related materials could not be retrieved, so chemicals stay a confirm instruction rather than a named event or facility.
City cost & eligibility
No city rate and no verifiable county route exists in the retained bodies, because Westchester County's paint, oil, latex, battery and related guideline pages could not be read, and the county recycling landing page only publishes the index. Confirm with the Bureau of Sanitation on 914-665-2465 or with the county environment department before a trip.
When & how
Ask the bureau for the current hazardous waste route. Yard waste is the one organic stream with a published schedule, running from April in an open container or brown paper refuse bag.
Get it ready
Keep paint, solvents, batteries, bulbs, motor oil and chemicals out of every container and out of any curbside pile, keep products in their original labelled containers, and never mix leftover products together. Yard waste itself goes in an open container or a brown paper refuse bag from April onward.
The city publishes placement rules and a fine for getting them wrong
Mount Vernon's Department of Public Works flyer states that its rules follow chapter 140, article 1 of the city code on garbage and rubbish collection, and that failure to comply may result in fines of up to 1,000 dollars. Containers must be made of suitable plastic or metal, have adequate handles and a watertight plastic or metal cover, hold no more than 35 gallons or two yards, and not create a nuisance. Rubbish that cannot be placed in a container must be compactly bundled, covered and secured, and the code text quoted on the flyer requires it to be tied so that it cannot be scattered by animals, wind or weather. The flyer also cites section 149-38 on keeping property free of rodent harbourage and infestation, gives 914-665-2465 for reporting unsatisfactory garbage placement, and carries a second section on proper cardboard collection.
The one item program is an appointment metal pickup
The Bureau of Sanitation page carries the city's only readable item program: metal pickups occur from April to September by appointment only by calling 914-665-2465. The items named for that appointment are cast iron tubs, grills with no propane tanks, hot water tanks, metal cabinets, metal desks, metal sinks, refrigerators with the Freon removed, sofa bed frames, frames only, stoves, and washers and dryers. Because the service is described as metal and is published as running only from April to September, an appliance or structure outside those conditions has to be asked about rather than set out.
The bureau describes its work as solid waste collection for Mount Vernon taxpayers on an established schedule plus weekly recycling collection for residents and business owners, with DPW following New York State and Westchester County recycling and waste reduction goals, and it states plainly that there are some items the city is not allowed to collect. Beyond that, the item-level detail sits in documents that are published as images: the city's 2026 North Side and South Side sanitation schedules and the updates document are image-only PDFs, and the rules are published as flyers rather than text, which is why this guide sends furniture, mattresses, electronics, construction debris, tires and household chemicals to the Bureau of Sanitation on 914-665-2465 instead of naming a facility. Yard waste is the exception with a published schedule: it starts in April and must be in an open container or a brown paper refuse bag.
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.
City of Mount Vernon Bureau of Sanitation, Department of Public Works
Call the Bureau of Sanitation before setting anything unusual out
Any Mount Vernon household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance, a screen, renovation material, a tire or chemicals to dispose of.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no item prices, so confirm what applies at the address on 914-665-2465. The published money facts are the up to 1,000 dollar fine for non-compliant placement and the absence of any fee schedule for the April to September metal pickup.
Arrange it
Call 914-665-2465, describe the item, confirm whether the city collects it and on which day, then set it out bundled, covered and secured.
The city states that there are some items it is not allowed to collect, the schedules are published only as images, and non-compliant placement can be fined, so an unanswered pile is a real risk.
City of Mount Vernon Bureau of Sanitation, Department of Public Works
Book the April to September metal pickup
A household with a metal appliance or metal household item such as a stove, washer, dryer, hot water tank, metal sink, cabinet or desk, a grill without a propane tank, a cast iron tub or a sofa bed frame.
Cost & conditions

Arrange it
Call 914-665-2465 to book a pickup between April and September and follow the set-out instructions given on the call.
The service is published as running only from April to September and as a metal pickup, so a plastic-bodied appliance, a mattress or a piece of furniture is not covered by it.
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 do large items have to be set out in Mount Vernon?+
The city's flyer states that rubbish which cannot be placed in a container must be compactly bundled, covered and securely tied so it cannot be scattered by animals, wind or weather, that containers must be plastic or metal with adequate handles and watertight covers and may not exceed 35 gallons or two yards, and that failing to comply may result in fines of up to 1,000 dollars under chapter 140 of the city code. For item-specific routes the city publishes only the April to September metal pickup by appointment on 914-665-2465.Official guidance
Will Mount Vernon collect a couch?+
The city does not publish a furniture list, so the answer has to come from the Bureau of Sanitation on 914-665-2465. What is published is the handling rule: rubbish too large for a container must be compactly bundled, covered and securely tied so it cannot scatter, with fines of up to 1,000 dollars for non-compliance, and the page notes that there are some items the city is not allowed to collect.Official guidance
Will anyone take a mattress in Mount Vernon?+
The city publishes no mattress route, so call the Bureau of Sanitation on 914-665-2465. The metal pickup that runs by appointment from April to September names cast iron tubs, grills, hot water tanks, metal cabinets, desks and sinks, refrigerators with the Freon removed, sofa bed frames, stoves and washers and dryers, which is not a mattress. Otherwise bedding falls under the rule that large rubbish be bundled, covered and secured.Official guidance
How do appliances leave a Mount Vernon home?+
By appointment between April and September. The city states that metal pickups occur April to September by appointment only by calling 914-665-2465, and the items named are cast iron tubs, grills with no propane tanks, hot water tanks, metal cabinets, metal desks, metal sinks, refrigerators with the Freon removed, sofa bed frames, frames only, stoves, and washers and dryers. A refrigerator will not be taken until the Freon is removed.Official guidance
Where can I take a television in Mount Vernon?+
The city publishes no electronics route on its own pages, and the county's electronics guideline page could not be read for this packet, so call the Bureau of Sanitation on 914-665-2465 for the current answer. The city does state that DPW follows New York State and Westchester County recycling and waste reduction goals, so a county route may exist, but nothing here asserts one without a readable source.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Mount Vernon?+
The city's own Bureau of Sanitation, part of the Department of Public Works, which provides solid waste collection for Mount Vernon taxpayers on an established schedule and weekly recycling collection for residents and business owners. Complaints and questions go to 914-665-2465, and the bureau maps the city into collection routes with a named foreman for each, which the city publishes as a route map document.Official guidance
When does yard waste collection start?+
In April. The city states that yard waste collection will commence in April and that yard waste must be in an open container or a brown paper refuse bag for proper collection, which makes it the one organic stream with a published schedule and packaging rule.Official guidance
What containers are allowed?+
Containers must be made of suitable plastic or metal, have adequate handles and a watertight plastic or metal cover, and hold no more than 35 gallons or two yards, and the city requires that they not create a nuisance. Anything that cannot go in a container has to be compactly bundled, covered and securely tied so it cannot be scattered by animals, wind or weather, and the flyer warns of fines up to 1,000 dollars for non-compliance.Official guidance
Why is the metal pickup only part of the year?+
Because that is how the city publishes it: metal pickups occur April to September by appointment only. Outside that window there is no published route for a metal item, so a household with a refrigerator, stove or washer to dispose of in the winter months has to call 914-665-2465 and ask what applies rather than leaving it at the curb.Official guidance
Is there a county drop-off for electronics or paint?+
Westchester County publishes a recycling guideline index that includes pages for electronics, monitors and televisions, household batteries, medications, paint including oil and latex, propane tanks and tires, and the city states that DPW follows state and county waste reduction goals. Those individual county pages could not be retrieved for this packet, so no county facility, event date or fee is asserted here and residents should confirm with the Bureau of Sanitation on 914-665-2465 or with the county environment department.Official guidance
