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.

Household bulk goes out with the regular collection rather than by appointment, so a couch or another piece of furniture belongs at the curb on the scheduled pickup day. The exception runs the other way for metal: metal furniture is named on the metal pickup list, which is a Thursday appointment. Construction material and commercial garbage never go into the pile.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. New Rochelle residences on the city collection route. The city collects bulk trash from private residences as part of the service and publishes no per item charge for a household bulk pile. A refrigerator, freezer, dehumidifier or air conditioner is the one household item that carries a city permit cost.
When & how
Put the piece at the curb no later than 7 am on the scheduled pickup day, or by 6 am between Memorial Day and Labor Day. A metal piece instead goes out on the Thursday appointment, which has to be booked before noon on the Tuesday before the pickup.
Get it ready
Keep the pile to household material, because commercial garbage, construction material, compressed gas tanks, motor oil, medical waste, rocks and dirt are refused. Bags and pails stay under 75 pounds, upholstered pieces stay out of the rain, and anything held together with metal can be routed to the metal appointment instead of waiting in the bulk pile.
A mattress goes out on the normal collection day, but with a wrapping rule that the city spells out: seal it in a plastic mattress bag and secure the bag with duct tape before it goes to the curb. No appointment is needed for a mattress, and no city fee is published for it.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. New Rochelle residences on the city collection route. The city guide places mattresses on the normal collection day without a permit or an appointment and publishes no per item charge for them.
When & how
Put the bagged mattress at the curb on the normal collection day, by 7 am, or by 6 am between Memorial Day and Labor Day. There is no appointment to book and no Saturday window, which is the difference between a mattress and an appliance or a television.
Get it ready
Seal the mattress in a plastic mattress bag and tape it closed with duct tape, which is the city's handle-with-care instruction. Keep it out of the recycling stream and away from the yard waste pile, and keep a bag or pail under 75 pounds so the crew can lift it.
Appliances ride a different truck than household bulk. Washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, stoves, hot water heaters and all metal items are collected on Thursdays by appointment only, the appointment has to be booked before noon on the Tuesday before the pickup, and there is no appliance pickup at all during holiday weeks.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. New Rochelle residences with a scheduled appointment through the Bureau of Sanitation on (914) 235-4654 or (914) 235-5830. The city publishes no per item charge for an appliance or heavy metal pickup, and it recycles scrap metal. A cooling unit is the exception and needs the city Freon permit first.
When & how
Call before noon on the Tuesday before the Thursday collection to book the pickup, and put the appliance at the curb by 7 am, or by 6 am in the summer months. Skip any holiday week, because the city does not run appliance collections then.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance and keep it clear of the regular garbage pile so the metal truck can take it. Tie or tape appliance doors so nothing can be trapped inside, and if the unit ever held refrigerant, deal with the Freon permit before the appointment is booked.
Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers
Accepted with preparation
A unit that holds refrigerant needs a permit before it can be collected. Refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers and air conditioners follow the Thursday appliance appointment, but the household first buys a Freon removal permit sticker from the City Clerk's Office and then calls the metal line to schedule. A licensed contractor that removes the refrigerant and places its own sticker on the unit is the published alternative.
City cost & eligibility
$25 for for the Freon removal permit sticker sold at the City Clerk's Office, which has to be on the refrigerator, freezer, dehumidifier or air conditioner before the city collects it. New Rochelle residences. The city lists a licensed contractor that removes the refrigerant and places its own company sticker on the appliance as an alternative to the city permit, and the Thursday appointment is booked on (914) 235-3593 after the sticker is obtained.
When & how
Buy the sticker, call (914) 235-3593 to book the Thursday pickup, and have the unit at the curb by 7 am, or by 6 am in the summer months. No appliance or metal collection runs during a holiday week.
Get it ready
Put the sticker on the appliance itself, empty the unit completely, and keep the doors tied or taped so a child or animal cannot get inside. Nothing here changes the rule that a cooling unit is not part of the ordinary bulk pile.
Televisions, computers and printers are never set out with the regular household trash. The city collects television sets and computer monitors by appointment only, on the second Saturday of the month for the north end and the third Saturday for the south, east and west ends, with the appointment booked before the Thursday of the collection week.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. New Rochelle residences with a Saturday appointment booked through the Department of Public Works on (914) 235-5830. The city publishes no per device charge for the household television, computer and printer collection, though batteries and chemicals are refused and routed to Westchester County instead.
When & how
Call (914) 235-5830 between 7 am and 3 pm before the Thursday of your collection week to book the Saturday slot, then set the device at the curb by 7 am, or by 6 am in the summer months. The north end is collected on the second Saturday and the south, east and west ends on the third.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data off a computer, monitor or drive before it leaves the house. Keep the device out of the regular trash and the recycling carts, where car parts, wire, tubing, motors and sheet metal are refused outright, and take batteries, fluorescent bulbs and chemicals to the county facility rather than adding them to the pile.
New Rochelle does not collect construction or demolition material at all. Construction materials are on the prohibited list for both garbage and recycling, and the city says this material of any kind has to be disposed of privately. The city publishes a courtesy list of private facilities that take debris, concrete, dirt and scrap metal, with a phone number for each.
City cost & eligibility
No city service collects construction or demolition material and the city publishes no disposal rate. The courtesy list names private facilities with phone numbers for construction and demolition debris, concrete and asphalt, dirt, rock, concrete and scrap metal, so call the facility directly to confirm what it takes and what it charges.
When & how
There is no city collection day for this material. The private facilities keep their own weekday hours, so arrange the drop-off directly with the one that accepts the material in your load.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the garbage pile, the bulk pile and the recycling carts, because the prohibited list names construction materials, sheet metal, tubing, motors and automobile parts. A contractor working at the address is responsible for its own debris, and the city's list is a courtesy rather than an endorsement.
Exercise machines and equipment are named on the city metal pickup list, so a treadmill or home gym is collected on the Thursday metal appointment rather than left with the household bulk. The appointment is the same one residents use for grills, tools, pots and pans and metal bed frames.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. New Rochelle residences with a metal pickup appointment booked through the Bureau of Sanitation on (914) 235-3593 or (914) 235-5830 before noon on the Tuesday before the Thursday collection. The city publishes no per item charge for the metal pickup and recycles the scrap.
When & how
Call by noon on Tuesday for the Thursday collection, and set the machine at the curb by 7 am, or by 6 am in the summer months. The Thursday metal route runs every week except holiday weeks.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it comes apart so two workers can move it, keep the loose weights and parts with the frame, and drain any fluid reservoir. Keep the machine out of the household garbage and the recycling carts, which refuse scrap metal, wire, pipes and motors.
Household bulk goes out with the regular collection on the scheduled pickup day, with no appointment, as long as it is residential material. The pile cannot contain commercial garbage, construction material, compressed gas tanks, motor oil, medical waste, rocks or dirt, and tires, rims and car batteries are refused at the curb.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. New Rochelle residences on the city collection route. Bulk trash is collected from private residences as part of the service, the city publishes no per item charge for a household pile, and the only household permit cost on the bulky list is the refrigerator and air conditioner Freon sticker.
When & how
Everything goes to the curb no later than 7 am on the scheduled pickup day, and between Memorial Day and Labor Day the deadline is 6 am. Appliances, metal items and televisions are the exceptions, because each of those needs its own appointment.
Get it ready
Use covered containers of 32 gallons or less or sturdy plastic bags and keep bags and pails under 75 pounds. Keep the pile free of commercial garbage, construction material, compressed gas tanks, motor oil, medical waste, rocks, dirt, tires, rims and car batteries, and remember that paint has to be hardened with absorbent before the can goes out beside the garbage.
Garbage and bulk items go to the curb no later than 7 am on the scheduled pickup day. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day the deadline moves to 6 am for every material, which is the same hour an appliance, metal item or television has to be out on its own appointment day.
Residents use covered containers of 32 gallons or less or sturdy plastic garbage bags, and nothing at the curb is heavier than 75 pounds. The same limit covers bagged garbage and bulky material that has to be lifted, so a pile of heavy bags should be split before the crew arrives.
Appliances, metal, televisions and printers need appointments
Appliances and heavy metal items are collected on Thursdays by appointment, booked before noon on the Tuesday before the pickup, and televisions and computer monitors by appointment on the second Saturday for the north end and the third Saturday for the south, east and west ends. There is no appliance pickup during a holiday week, and only city personnel may go behind a sanitation vehicle.
A mattress is handled with care: seal it in a plastic mattress bag and secure the bag with duct tape before it goes to the curb. Paint has to be hardened, with absorbent mixed in and the can left open beside the garbage rather than inside a bag or can, and the lid goes into the regular trash. Syringes and other sharps go into a leak-proof, shatterproof container rather than the garbage.
Chemicals, batteries and tires never go in the pile
Hazardous materials of all kinds, including every fluorescent bulb, containers that held hazardous material, safes, aluminum siding, car parts, tires, rims, car batteries and automotive fluids are refused in the garbage and the recycling. Household chemicals go to the Westchester County facility in Valhalla by appointment, alkaline and carbon zinc batteries go in the regular trash, and other batteries go to the county, which the city hotline 914-813-5425 can explain.
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.

Arrange it
Put the pile at the curb by 7 am on the scheduled collection day, or by 6 am between Memorial Day and Labor Day, and keep the containers within the 32 gallon and 75 pound limits.
Commercial garbage, construction material, compressed gas tanks, motor oil, medical waste, rocks, dirt, tires, rims and car batteries are refused. Appliances and metal items need the Thursday appointment and televisions need a Saturday appointment, so a mixed pile should be split before the collection day.

No appliance pickup runs during holiday weeks. A refrigerator, freezer, dehumidifier or air conditioner needs the Freon removal permit sticker from the City Clerk's Office before the appointment is scheduled, unless a licensed contractor removes the refrigerant and applies its own sticker.

Only the appointment Saturday works for these items, so a television left out with the regular trash is not collected. Batteries, fluorescent bulbs and chemicals are not part of this route and go to the Westchester County facility instead.

Take household chemicals and batteries to the county facility
A household with paint, pesticides, pool or photo chemicals, kerosene, flammable liquids, wood preservatives, propane or helium tanks, mercury thermometers, pharmaceuticals, auto or rechargeable batteries, or fire extinguishers.

Arrange it
Book an appointment about two weeks ahead on 914-813-5425 or through the county site, then bring the material to the Grasslands Campus at 15 Woods Road in Valhalla, open by appointment only Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 3 pm excluding holidays.
The county facility takes the material by appointment only, and the city's own chemical cleanup days have been discontinued, so nothing waits for a local event. Alkaline and carbon zinc batteries can go in the regular household trash, and radiological or medical waste goes through the county health department instead.
