City collection Large non-metal household items such as furniture are collected at the curb on the second day of your garbage pickup, with a 10 minute limit at each address so the citywide schedule holds. Households on the Automated Side Loader streets book the pickup instead, because anything that does not fit in the can needs a special truck. No charge. Included in city residential collection, with no separate bulky charge published. Households on ASL streets need an appointment, and the city asks for two days notice when a special truck is scheduled.
City collection Mattresses are collected as bulk, but White Plains makes the pickup conditional on preparation: every mattress has to be wrapped in plastic and sealed with tape because of bed bug concerns. Unwrapped bedding is not removed. No charge. Included in city residential collection with no separate mattress charge published, provided the mattress is wrapped and sealed. ASL households need the appointment for a special truck.
City collection White goods and other large metal items are recycled rather than treated as ordinary bulk, so they need a scheduled appointment before they go to the curb. The city temporarily stores white goods and e-waste at the Gedney Way Recycling Yard, and the county also takes refrigerant appliances by appointment. No charge is published for a residential white goods appointment, and the city asks residents to call rather than set the item out. Confirm the arrangement for a boiler, refrigerator, stove, metal bed frame or metal shelving with Sanitation at 914-422-1217, and confirm the county fee schedule if the unit goes to the Valhalla facility instead.
City collection Trash goes out in lidded cans that weigh no more than 75 pounds, with no loose bags at the curb. Paper recycling and co-mingled bottles, cans and jars are collected weekly, with the co-mingled stream on the second day of the trash pickup. Residential collection carries no separate published fee, and the city publishes no rate for extra items. Confirm any additional pickup with Sanitation at 914-422-1217, and note that commercial vehicles using the Gedney Yard are charged a fee.
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?
White Plains collects its own residential trash and recycling, and how a bulky item leaves depends on the street. On the regular routes, large non-metal household items such as furniture and mattresses go out at the curb on the second day of the garbage pickup, with a 10 minute limit per address, and any mattress has to be wrapped in plastic and sealed with tape. Metal items, appliances and electronics are not part of that route: they need an appointment with Sanitation, a drop-off at the Gedney Way Recycling Yard, or both. New York law bans computers and televisions from the trash, so televisions under 55 inches have to be dropped at the yard, and the county's Household Material Recovery Facility in Valhalla takes the paint, chemicals, tires and rechargeable batteries the city cannot.
Large non-metal household items such as furniture are collected at the curb on the second day of your garbage pickup, with a 10 minute limit at each address so the citywide schedule holds. Households on the Automated Side Loader streets book the pickup instead, because anything that does not fit in the can needs a special truck.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in city residential collection, with no separate bulky charge published. Households on ASL streets need an appointment, and the city asks for two days notice when a special truck is scheduled.
When & how
On the regular routes, put furniture out on the second day of your garbage pickup. On ASL streets, call 914-422-1217 for an appointment after the two day notice.
Get it ready
Keep the load to non-metal household items that two people can move, keep loose bags off the curb, and keep the pile clear of the sidewalk. Items that are still usable can go to the seasonal Take It or Leave It shed instead.
Mattresses are collected as bulk, but White Plains makes the pickup conditional on preparation: every mattress has to be wrapped in plastic and sealed with tape because of bed bug concerns. Unwrapped bedding is not removed.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in city residential collection with no separate mattress charge published, provided the mattress is wrapped and sealed. ASL households need the appointment for a special truck.
When & how
Put the wrapped mattress out on the second day of your garbage pickup on the regular routes, or book the appointment on an ASL street.
Get it ready
Wrap the mattress in plastic and seal every seam with tape, then set it out where the crew can lift it from the property side of the curb. Keep bedding out of the recycling containers and out of the regular trash cans.
White goods and other large metal items are recycled rather than treated as ordinary bulk, so they need a scheduled appointment before they go to the curb. The city temporarily stores white goods and e-waste at the Gedney Way Recycling Yard, and the county also takes refrigerant appliances by appointment.
City cost & eligibility
No charge is published for a residential white goods appointment, and the city asks residents to call rather than set the item out. Confirm the arrangement for a boiler, refrigerator, stove, metal bed frame or metal shelving with Sanitation at 914-422-1217, and confirm the county fee schedule if the unit goes to the Valhalla facility instead.
When & how
Call Sanitation at 914-422-1217 to book the curbside appointment before the item goes outside, or book a county appointment for a refrigerant appliance.
Get it ready
Empty and defrost a cooling appliance and secure or remove the doors before the appointment. Keep the item off the curb until the scheduled day, because uncollected metal at the curb is a violation the city cites.
New York's electronic waste law makes it illegal to put computers, peripherals, small electronic equipment and televisions in the trash. Small electronics and televisions under 55 inches go to the Gedney Recycling Yard, larger televisions can be dropped there or collected by appointment, and the county facility takes e-waste as well.
City cost & eligibility
No fee is published for residential electronics recycling at the Gedney Yard or on a scheduled curbside pickup, and the county directs callers to its helpline for fees. Confirm the route and any charge before loading a screen into the car.
When & how
Drop small electronics and televisions under 55 inches at the Gedney Recycling Yard during its open hours, or call Sanitation at 914-422-1217 to schedule a curbside appointment for a larger set.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before handover, keep electronics out of the trash and out of the recycling bins, and bring the device intact rather than dismantled. Refrigerant appliances, batteries and smoke detectors are handled separately and are not part of an electronics drop-off.
White Plains does not collect household renovation debris such as doors, fencing, siding, toilets or bathtubs. The county's Household Material Recovery Facility refuses construction and demolition debris too, so a project load is a contractor arrangement or a licensed private transfer station.
City cost & eligibility
There is no city collection and no city rate for renovation debris, and the county facility refuses construction and demolition material. The city points residents to their contractor or to the county's list of licensed private transfer stations and processing facilities, which quote their own charges.
When & how
Arrange the disposal with the contractor doing the work, or contact a licensed private transfer station before the material accumulates.
Get it ready
Keep renovation material out of the curbside pile and off the recycling bins, keep liquids, paint and chemicals out of a debris load, and separate clean wood or masonry if the receiving facility asks for it.
Exercise equipment is not named in the city's collection rules, and a machine can be metal or partly electronic, so the route has to be confirmed. The two candidates are a bulk schedule for a non-metal piece and a metal appointment for anything the crew has to recycle as white goods.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate or named route covers an exercise machine. Call Sanitation at 914-422-1217 and confirm whether the machine is taken as non-metal bulk on the second collection day or as a large metal item on an appointment.
When & how
Call Sanitation during business hours before the machine goes outside, then follow the day it gives you.
Get it ready
Give the model, weight and dimensions when you call, remove any console or battery pack so the electronics can be handled separately, and keep the frame where two people can move it.
Trash goes out in lidded cans that weigh no more than 75 pounds, with no loose bags at the curb. Paper recycling and co-mingled bottles, cans and jars are collected weekly, with the co-mingled stream on the second day of the trash pickup.
City cost & eligibility
Residential collection carries no separate published fee, and the city publishes no rate for extra items. Confirm any additional pickup with Sanitation at 914-422-1217, and note that commercial vehicles using the Gedney Yard are charged a fee.
When & how
Check the sanitation calendar for your pickup days, put cans at the curb on the collection morning, and check the schedule for temporary changes during holiday weeks.
Get it ready
Keep cans lidded and under 75 pounds, put paper in reusable containers, cardboard boxes or paper bags and never in plastic bags, rinse bottles, cans and jars for the co-mingled stream, and keep glassware, ceramics, Styrofoam and plastic bags out of the recycling.
Bulk follows the second trash day, unless you are on an ASL street
On the regular collection routes, large non-metal household items such as mattresses and furniture are picked up at the curb on the second day of the garbage pickup, and the crew spends a maximum of 10 minutes at each address to keep the citywide schedule. Households served by the Automated Side Loader trucks have to call 914-422-1217 to book the pickup, because anything that does not fit inside the black-lidded can needs a special truck, and the city asks for two days notice.
Because of bed bug concerns, the city requires every mattress to be wrapped in plastic and sealed with tape before Sanitation will take it, and the rule applies on both the regular routes and the Automated Side Loader streets. Foam toppers and other bedding follow the same idea: keep them bagged and out of the recycling containers rather than setting them out loose.
Metal, appliances and electronics are appointment items, not curb items. Do not leave them at the curb except on the scheduled day, and if something scheduled is still sitting there after 2 p.m. on that day, call Sanitation at 914-422-1217 rather than leaving it out, because uncollected material at the curb is a violation. The same number books the appointment, and the DPW At Your Service app accepts the request as well.
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.

Book a county appointment in Valhalla
A Westchester household with paint, chemicals, pesticides, fluorescent bulbs, tires, rechargeable batteries, refrigerant appliances, textiles or documents to shred.
Cost & conditions
The county directs callers to the Recycling Helpline at (914) 813-5425 for fees, appointments and the accepted list, so confirm the charge for your load before the reservation.
Arrange it
Reserve a slot up to two weeks ahead online or by calling (914) 813-5425, then arrive at 15 Woods Road in Valhalla between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on a Tuesday to Saturday with a government photo ID.

White Plains residents have a city yard and a county facility for what the trucks will not take. The Gedney Recycling Yard at 87 Gedney Way is for residents only, with ID shown at the gate house and no commercial loads, and it takes household paper and co-mingled recycling, small non-automotive scrap metal by drop-off only, textiles, small electronics and televisions under 55 inches. Large metal items and white goods such as refrigerators, stoves and boilers need a scheduled curbside appointment through Sanitation at 914-422-1217 instead, and the city stores those items at the yard in the meantime. For paint, chemicals, fluorescent bulbs, tires, rechargeable batteries, refrigerant appliances and document shredding, the county runs the Household Material Recovery Facility at 15 Woods Road in Valhalla, open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. by appointment only, with reservations made online or through the Recycling Helpline at (914) 813-5425. Renovation debris is outside all of this: the city does not collect doors, fencing, siding, toilets or bathtubs, and the county refuses construction and demolition debris, so that load goes to a licensed private transfer station.

On the regular routes it goes out on the second day of your garbage pickup as a large non-metal household item, and the crew spends up to 10 minutes at the address. Households on the Automated Side Loader streets call Sanitation at 914-422-1217 to book the pickup, because the item will not fit in the cart.Official guidance
Does a White Plains mattress need to be wrapped?+
Yes. The city requires every mattress to be wrapped in plastic and sealed with tape before Sanitation will remove it, on both the regular routes and the Automated Side Loader streets, because of bed bug concerns.Official guidance
Can a refrigerator go out with White Plains trash?+
No. Refrigerators and other large metal items need a special appointment for curbside collection, which is booked through Sanitation at 914-422-1217, and the city stores white goods at the Gedney Way Recycling Yard in the meantime. A refrigerant appliance can also go to the county Household Material Recovery Facility in Valhalla by appointment.Official guidance
Where does a White Plains television go?+
Televisions under 55 inches have to be dropped off at the Gedney Recycling Yard, because state law bans them from the trash. A set 55 inches or larger can be dropped off there or collected at the curb by appointment through Sanitation at 914-422-1217, and the county facility in Valhalla also accepts e-waste by appointment.Official guidance
Who collects trash in White Plains?+
The city's Bureau of Sanitation collects residential solid waste on an established schedule, with weekly paper and co-mingled recycling that includes plastics labeled 1 to 7. The bureau answers at 914-422-1217, and scheduled items that are not picked up by 2 p.m. on the appointment day should be reported to that number.Official guidance
When does recycling go out in White Plains?+
Paper and co-mingled recycling are both weekly. Co-mingled bottles, cans and jars go out on the second day of your scheduled garbage pickup, including holiday weeks, and paper goes in reusable containers, cardboard boxes or paper bags because plastic bags are not accepted.Official guidance
Where do rechargeable batteries go?+

Holiday trees are picked up at the curb from December 26 into mid January, from the property side of the curb, every three to five working days, and they are mulched so all decorations and plastic bags have to be removed. After January 15 the pickup is arranged by calling 914-422-1201.Official guidance
Does the county take medical sharps?+
No. Sharps are on the county's not accepted list along with medical waste, motor oil, smoke and fire detectors and non-rechargeable batteries. Households with sharps should use a pharmacy or medical take-back programme rather than the county facility or the trash.Official guidance
Do metal items need an appointment in White Plains?+
Yes. Large metal items and white goods are recycled rather than treated as ordinary bulk, so Sanitation has to schedule the curbside pickup first, and small non-automotive scrap metal is only accepted by dropping it at the Gedney Recycling Yard rather than through curbside recycling.Official guidance
