Moving help in New York City: what to plan for

Moving in New York? DSNY takes up to six large items per collection day, mattresses must be bagged and refrigerant appliances need an appointment first, and there’s usually a service elevator to book and street parking to plan.

How it works with the NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY)

DSNY collects large household items for free on your regular collection days. You can set out up to six large items per collection day. Non-recyclable large items go out on your trash-only day, while items that are mostly metal or plastic go out with recycling.

A moving help crew handles the heavy lifting on the day and can take away anything you’re not keeping, so nothing is left waiting until your trash day, after bagging mattresses and booking any CFC appointment.

Recycling, donation and local tips in New York City

Many New York City charities and reuse stores accept clean furniture and household goods, and usable pieces are set aside for them before anything goes to a transfer station.

Anything you don’t want at the new place can go to donation or recycling on the same visit, instead of being left for the next tenant or the curb.
