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.
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.
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.
Where to take large items in Yonkers

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