Quick answer

Yonkers separates ordinary non-metal bulky items from metal appliances and similar items. Current City guidance allows one qualifying non-metal bulky item on the second weekly collection day for eligible properties.

Who qualifies matters. Eligible residential properties generally six units or fewer; multifamily rules differ.

02

Furniture, mattresses and appliances

Furniture and mattresses can use the non-metal bulky route when they meet the City's rules. Metal appliances and other metal bulky items require a separate appointment through the City rather than being added to the ordinary pile.

03

Household hazardous waste and other special material

The City also operates a recycling center at 735 Saw Mill River Road for listed materials. Household hazardous waste follows Westchester County's special-waste system rather than ordinary Yonkers garbage collection.

Before set-out

Use 914-377-HELP to schedule metal items and confirm any uncertain bulky item. For ordinary non-metal bulk, verify that the property is eligible and use the correct second collection day.

  1. Confirm the service address and the agency or hauler responsible for it.
  2. Check whether the bulky route requires an appointment, assigned week, sticker, fee or volume limit.
