Scrap metal removal in Brookhaven: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.

Reviewed · Sources below

Scrap metal, sofa beds and televisions

Special rules apply

Scrap metal, sofa beds and televisions are not part of the ordinary bulk set-out and need a scheduled pickup by a town crew through the town's phone line.

City cost & eligibility
The town asks residents to call 631-451-TOWN to schedule a town crew pickup for scrap metal, sofa beds and televisions but publishes no rate for that service, and the fee schedule it links applies to the Solid Waste Management Facility, so confirm the arrangement and any charge when the pickup is booked.
When & how
Call 631-451-TOWN to schedule the pickup by a town crew rather than putting the material out with the ordinary four item bulk allowance.
Get it ready
Keep metal separate from the ordinary bulk pile, because the auto parts rule for the regular route allows only non-metallic parts with fluids drained, tires off the rims, weight under 50 lbs and no metal attached, while the landfill takes no more than four residential tires a day with the rims removed and refuses commercial tires.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Twice weekly trash, one recycling day and one bulk day

Trash is collected twice a week, with the second garbage day falling on a Thursday or Friday, recycling comes every Wednesday and alternates between plastic or metal and paper or cardboard, and bulk items ride the household's second garbage day, which is Thursday or Friday, with a maximum of four bulk items a week. Yard waste is collected on select Sundays with a published calendar. Everything goes to the kerb the night before or by 6:00am on the pickup day, and recyclables must be loose in the bin because plastic bags are not allowed. Residents can ask for a free recycling sticker or buy a CURBY can.

Each bulk item has to be dressed for collection

The town counts bulk items one at a time, so preparation decides whether a piece is picked up. Furniture such as couches without recliners, chairs, tables, shelves and dressers counts as one item each, with drawers left inside dressers, and bedding including mattresses, box springs, headboards and wood frames must be dismantled. Carpet and rugs are cut into six foot lengths, rolled and tied at under 50 lbs per roll, pallets must be cut in half with each half counting as an item, and windows must have the glass taped on both sides. Glass, mirrors and ceramics are wrapped, taped and marked GLASS or placed in a sealed box labelled GLASS. Construction and demolition debris is accepted from homeowner do-it-yourself projects only, in bags or containers under 50 lbs with nothing above the rim of a 32 gallon pail and bundles no larger than 4 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet. Auto parts on the curbside route take non-metallic plastic, rubber and fabric form only, with fluids drained, under 50 lbs and no metal parts. Tires are not a curbside item: they go to the Solid Waste Management Facility, which takes no more than four residential tires a day with the rims removed and refuses commercial tires.

Yard waste runs on Sundays, scrap metal needs a phone call

Yard waste is limited to 50 items a week with each item under 50 lbs, goes out the Sunday night before the collection week, stays separate from garbage and never includes grass. Brush and branches go bundled, bagged or in 32 gallon containers with bundles tied and no larger than 4 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet, leaves and plant material have to be bagged at no more than 50 bags a week, and branches over 6 inches, logs, stumps, dirt, sand and loose brush or leaves are refused. Leaves can go to the Manorville Compost Facility free, and leaves and brush to the Solid Waste Management Facility free. Scrap metal, sofa beds and televisions do not use the ordinary bulk allowance at all: the town asks residents to call 631-451-TOWN so a town crew can schedule the pickup, and heavier loads such as boats, concrete, construction and renovation debris, refuse, tires and waste oil go to the Solid Waste Management Facility in a car, single-axle trailer, pickup or van against its published disposal fee schedule, where no more than four residential tires a day are taken with the rims removed and commercial tires are refused.

Schedule a scrap metal pickup

A household with scrap metal, a sofa bed or a television that the ordinary bulk allowance will not take.

Cost & conditions
The town asks residents to call 631-451-TOWN to schedule a pickup by a town crew and publishes no rate for that route, so confirm the arrangement and any charge when booking.
Arrange it
Call 631-451-TOWN, describe the items, and keep them out of the four item bulk set-out until the town crew pickup is scheduled.

A phone booking rather than an automatic set-out, no published rate, and the regular bulk route refuses metal parts in auto parts loads, and the landfill caps residential tires at four a day with the rims removed and refuses commercial tires.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self hauling in Brookhaven runs through town facilities, because the curbside routes are limited by item counts. The Solid Waste Management Facility takes residential drop-offs of boats, concrete, construction and renovation debris, refuse, tires, waste oil and yard waste during hours of operation, and the load has to arrive in a non-commercial car, single-axle trailer, pickup or van, with charges following the town's published disposal fee schedule. Leaves are free at the Manorville Compost Facility when they are loose or in paper bags, and both leaves and brush are free at the Solid Waste Management Facility. For material the facility does not take, the streets handle it in counts rather than by weight: up to four bulk items a week on the second garbage day, prepared to the town's item rules with mattresses dismantled, carpet cut and tied into six foot rolls, pallets halved, windows taped on both sides and glass wrapped and marked, and auto parts on the curb take non-metallic plastic, rubber and fabric pieces with fluids drained and no metal attached, while tires go to the Solid Waste Management Facility, which caps residential tires at four a day with the rims removed and refuses commercial tires. Yard waste runs separately on select Sundays, capped at 50 items and 50 lbs each with grass refused, and anything made of metal goes through the town's phone line: residents call 631-451-TOWN to arrange a town crew pickup for scrap metal, sofa beds and televisions. No rate is published for these collection routes, and the facility's fee schedule is a linked document, so every charge should be confirmed with the town.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Scrap metal removal, from your photo request to the pickup plan in Brookhaven.

How do I request a scrap metal pickup quote?

Text photos to (844) 879-0892 with your ZIP code, approximate amount and access details. Show the whole pile and a closer view of the material. Our team will confirm the scope, quote and scheduling.

Do you buy scrap metal or pick it up for free?

This is a request for a paid removal quote, not a scrap-buying or free-collection offer. If you want to sell metal, ask a local recycler about its accepted materials and delivery requirements.

How much does scrap metal removal cost?

This service uses a custom quote. Send photos, the approximate amount, your ZIP code and access details. Our team confirms the scope and price before booking; there is no fixed-price catalog item for this pile.

Can you collect it today?

Tell our team your preferred day when you request the quote. Timing depends on the material, amount and access, and is confirmed with your quote. Sending photos does not reserve same-day pickup.

Where does Brookhaven scrap metal go?

The town routes scrap metal, sofa beds and televisions through its own phone line: residents are told to call 631-451-TOWN so a town crew can schedule the pickup, which sits outside the ordinary bulk allowance of four items a week on the second garbage day. The regular auto parts rule keeps metal out of the bulk pile altogether, allowing only non-metallic plastic, rubber and fabric parts with the tires removed from the rims, fluids drained, weight under 50 lbs and no metal parts, while the landfill takes no more than four residential tires a day with the rims removed and refuses commercial tires.Official guidance

Who collects Brookhaven trash, recycling and bulk items?

Town crews do. Trash is collected twice a week, with the second garbage day falling on a Thursday or Friday, recycling every Wednesday alternating between plastic or metal and paper or cardboard, bulk items on the household's second garbage day with a maximum of four items a week, and yard waste on select Sundays. Everything goes out the night before or by 6:00am on the pickup day, recyclables stay loose because plastic bags are not allowed in the bin, and residents can request a free recycling sticker or buy a CURBY can for their recyclables.Official guidance

How does Brookhaven handle metal and auto parts?

Scrap metal has its own route: the town asks residents to call 631-451-TOWN so a town crew can schedule a pickup, and sofa beds and televisions travel the same way rather than using the four item bulk allowance. The bulk route accepts auto parts only in plastic, rubber and fabric form, with the tires removed from the rims, all fluids drained, each item under 50 lbs and no metal parts at all, and the landfill accepts no more than four residential tires a day with the rims removed while refusing commercial tires outright.Official guidance
