A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

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 items and set out rules

Accepted with preparation

Yonkers runs bulk as two weekly streams: one non-metal item per household at the curb on the second collection day, and metal bulk by appointment. Bulk material goes out no earlier than sundown the evening before the scheduled pickup under the city code, and everything at the curb stays inside the barrel and bag limits the code sets.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. No published charge for either bulk stream: one non-metal item per household each week on the second collection day from homes and buildings of six units or less, and metal bulk by appointment on 914-377-HELP (4357) or at the Recycling Center.
When & how
Set non-metal bulk out no earlier than sundown the night before the second collection day, which is a Thursday or Friday, and book metal bulk in advance rather than adding it to the same pile.
Get it ready
Keep household refuse in barrels no larger than thirty gallons with bags under fifty pounds, keep bulk out of the barrels, keep construction material, motor oil, compressed gas tanks, tires, rims and car batteries out of the pile, and leave grass clippings on the lawn because the city refuses them everywhere.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Nothing at the curb before sundown

Section 91-36B of the city code requires garbage and bulk at the curb no earlier than sundown the evening before the scheduled pickup, and the city warns that a set out that breaks the rule can bring a fine. Household refuse goes in barrels no larger than thirty gallons with plastic bags under fifty pounds, and supermarket shopping bags are not to be used for garbage. During compost season leaves and brush go out in open containers or paper bags, never plastic, on Wednesdays.

Two bulk streams, one curb and one on the phone

Non-metal bulk is a curb service: one item per household on the second collection day of the week, which the city runs on a Thursday or Friday, from private homes and buildings of six units or less. Metal bulk is not: appliances, metal shelving and bicycles need an appointment through the Mayor's Help Line, or a trip to the Recycling Center where refrigerant is removed free. Buildings with more than six units arrange bulk through their super, landlord or management company.

A household with a mattress, a couch, a chair, a table or a tied rug to get rid of.

Cost & conditions
No charge. No published charge for the weekly non-metal bulk collection, which takes one item per household on the second collection day from private homes and buildings of six units or less.

Set the item at the curb no earlier than sundown the evening before the second collection day, tie a sleeper sofa closed and cut and tie rugs in three foot lengths.

Drop it at the Yonkers Recycling Center

A resident who can carry the load and wants to clear electronics, a mattress, a couch or an appliance in one trip.

Cost & conditions
No charge. No published charge for bulk items, electronics or recyclables dropped by city residents during business hours; tires are the one published charge at the gate and the PaintCare paint drop-off is free with its own limits.
Arrange it
Go to 735 Saw Mill River Road between 7:30 a.m. and 4:15 p.m. Monday through Saturday, closed holidays, with the material loose rather than bagged and separated by category.

City residents only, two loads a week with one per day, no commercial or rented vehicles, no trailers and no walk in waste, buildings of six families and under, and the center refuses construction and demolition debris, roofing material, hazardous waste, oil and grease and gas cylinders other than empty propane barbecue tanks.

Open the Yonkers Recycling Center page

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self haul in Yonkers means the Recycling Center at 735 Saw Mill River Road, open Monday through Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. and closed holidays. It is the drop-off for mattresses, couches and other bulk items, for old electronic equipment including monitors and televisions, for recyclables separated by category, for tires without rims at the published per tire charge, and for leftover architectural paint through PaintCare. The rules at the gate matter: city residents only, buildings of six families and under, proof of residence with matching vehicle registration, two loads a week but only one a day, no commercial or rented vehicles, no trailers, no walking waste in, and material loose rather than bagged. Construction and demolition debris, roofing material, hazardous waste, oil, grease and gas cylinders are refused there as well as at the curb, so a renovation or a chemical clean-out needs a different route, and the city publishes no household chemical collection beyond the PaintCare paint programme. Leaves and brush go to the Organic Yard at 610 Nepperhan Avenue, open Monday through Saturday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. with a lunch closure from noon to one, while grass clippings are refused everywhere and should be left on the lawn.

worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Yonkers.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Yonkers?

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.

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.
