Yard waste rules in New York City

In New York City, leaf and yard waste goes out with DSNY’s curbside composting collection. Bigger jobs, like a backyard in Queens or a Staten Island lot, are where a hauling crew helps.

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.

For a few bags, city collection works well. For a tree’s worth of branches, a torn-down shed or a full yard cleanup in New York City, a crew clears it in one visit instead of waiting until your trash day, after bagging mattresses and booking any CFC appointment.

Recycling, donation and local tips in New York City

Many electronics can’t go out with the trash at all in New York, so TVs and computers need an electronics recycling drop-off or pickup.

Green waste goes to composting facilities where they’re available, and wood, metal and plastic from sheds, fences and playsets are separated for recycling.

What we haul in New York City

If it isn’t hazardous and it fits in the truck, it can almost certainly go. See the yard waste removal page for details on each item.

How yard waste removal pricing works in New York City

Every yard waste removal job in New York City is quoted individually, and the price is agreed before anything is loaded. It depends on:

  • Truck space used
  • Weight of the materials
  • Stairs, elevators and carrying distance
  • Mattresses, appliances and electronics
  • Disposal and recycling fees

Compared with six large items per collection day through the NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY), a quote from us covers whatever amount you have, with the labor, the driving and the disposal in one figure.
