City collection The town runs no curbside bulk collection, so furniture goes to the county scales at published single item prices or onto a hired hauler. $15 per couch, davenport, mattress or stuffed chair at the Chemung County Lake Street scales, with wooden furniture and construction debris charged the lower construction and demolition rate and metal furniture at the municipal solid waste rate. Loads are charged at the scale, with a municipal solid waste minimum up to 1000 pounds and a per ton rate above it and separate construction and demolition and mixed load rates. Every load has to be fully tarped, because an uncovered load is rejected.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Horseheads is a town, and the town does not run a curbside rubbish or yard waste collection: the Highway Department publishes the refuse documents and its own organic material notice says the town does not pick up or dispose of organic material before listing private haulers and a private compost drop off. Chemung County Solid Waste Management does the disposal side with five drop-off stations for bagged household trash and recyclables, the Lake Street scales at 1690 Lake Street in Elmira for loads and bulky items, and semi-annual household hazardous waste days by registration. Televisions and computer monitors are covered by the state electronics law, the county prices a television at the scales and must receive it intact, and the county notes that both televisions and monitors are free at a local recycler.
A television can go to the county scales for a published price but it has to arrive intact, and the county notes that televisions and monitors are free at RE-ACT.
City cost & eligibility
$40 per television at the Chemung County Lake Street scales, with a computer monitor at a lower published price on the same item list. The unit must be intact, because the county does not accept broken electronic waste. The county item list states that both televisions and monitors are free at RE-ACT, so ask the county office for the RE-ACT drop off details before paying at the scales.
When & how
Take the television or monitor to the Lake Street scales at 1690 Lake Street in Elmira during its open hours, or ask the county about the free RE-ACT drop off first.
Get it ready
Keep the screen and casing intact, because a broken television or monitor is refused, and keep the device out of the bagged household trash and the recycling box, since New York treats covered electronic equipment as its own stream.

Loads are charged at the scale, with a municipal solid waste minimum up to 1000 pounds and a per ton rate above it and separate construction and demolition and mixed load rates. Every load has to be fully tarped, because an uncovered load is rejected.
When & how
Take the load to the Lake Street scales at 1690 Lake Street in Elmira, which is open Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. with the last inbound weigh at 2:45 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to noon from April through October with the last inbound weigh at 11:45 a.m.
Get it ready
Tarp and tie the load before leaving, sort metal from wood and from construction debris so each part is charged at the right rate, and keep hazardous material out because the county refuses fluorescent bulbs, ballasts, non-latex paint and driveway sealants at the scale.
The county item list refuses refrigerant appliances and sends residents to waste providers, while the scale sheet for the same address publishes a per unit price for them, so the route is confirmed first.
City cost & eligibility
The county item list refuses refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers and air conditioners and tells residents to ask for the list of waste service providers, while the scale rate sheet for the same Lake Street address states that items with refrigerant are accepted at a published per unit price with the doors off and the unit empty. Call the county before moving the unit to confirm which rule applies that day.
When & how
Confirm the route by phone, then use the Lake Street scales during their open hours or the waste provider the county names.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and take the doors off, because that is the condition the scale sheet attaches to a refrigerant appliance, and keep the unit out of the bagged household trash and out of a curbside pile.
The town does not pick up or dispose of organic material, so brush and leaves go to a hired hauler or to one of the two published organics drop offs.
City cost & eligibility
No town rate exists because the town states that haulers negotiate their own rate for clean brush and shrubbery, and the town's Black Gold notice says sorting mixed loads at home helps avoid a fee without publishing one. Call the provider or the compost facility to confirm the charge before loading.
When & how
Arrange a hauler, or deliver the sorted organic material during the published windows: the county compost facility is open Tuesday and Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday and Friday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Black Gold asks residents to call ahead.
Get it ready
Keep grass, leaves, branches, logs and wood chips sorted by material before the trip, because the town notice says sorting at home is what avoids a fee, and remember that the county landfill refuses brush, branches, grass, leaves and Christmas trees entirely.
Hazardous material is refused at every county site and waits for a semi-annual household hazardous waste collection day.
City cost & eligibility
The county publishes no price for the hazardous waste collection days and routes registration through Cornell Cooperative Extension on 734-4453, so confirm eligibility and any charge when you register.
When & how
Call Cornell Cooperative Extension on 734-4453 to register for the next semi-annual household hazardous waste collection day, which is open to residents rather than businesses.
Get it ready
Keep acids, antifreeze, car and household batteries, chemicals, fluorescent bulbs, ballasts, non-latex paints and driveway sealants out of every load, because the county refuses them at the scales and lists some of them for the collection days specifically.
The county requires all loads to be fully tarped and tied down, and an un-tarped load is rejected at the scale. At the scale trailer the attendant asks what kind of material is being delivered, so the load should be sorted into municipal solid waste, construction and demolition material, mixed, or recyclables before the vehicle reaches the scale.
The five drop-off stations take seven or fewer bags of bagged residential garbage and household amounts of recyclables, using specially marked bags sold at the booth, and anything larger goes to the Lake Street scales. Recycling is free only to Chemung County residents who can show proof of identification.
The county refuses broken electronic waste, so a television or a computer monitor has to reach the scale in one piece, and the item list states that both are free at the recycler the county names. Ask the county for that drop off before paying the scale price.
The town does not collect organic material and the county landfill refuses brush, branches, grass, leaves and Christmas trees, so the routes are a hired hauler, the private Black Gold drop offs, or the county compost facility. The town notice asks residents to sort mixed loads at home before arriving, because that is what avoids a fee at the private site, and to call ahead.
Acids, antifreeze, car and household batteries, chemicals, fluorescent bulbs, ballasts, non-latex paints and driveway sealants are refused at the county sites. Residents register with Cornell Cooperative Extension on 734-4453 for one of the two household hazardous waste collection days each year, and the collection is not open to businesses.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
Town of Horseheads Highway Department with Chemung County Solid Waste Management
Haul the load to the county scales
For a household with furniture, a mattress, a television or a mixed load that no town crew will collect.
Cost & conditions
$15 per couch, davenport, mattress or stuffed chair at the Lake Street scales, with a television at a higher published price, small items, a computer monitor and tires at their own published prices, and loads by weight at the municipal solid waste, construction or mixed rates. Charged at the scale, with a minimum charge up to 1000 pounds on a load and a per ton rate above that. Every load must be fully tarped, and hazardous material is refused at the site.
Arrange it
Drive to 1690 Lake Street in Elmira during the published scale hours, keep the load tarped, and sort the material so the attendant can apply the right rate.
The site refuses hazardous waste, brush, branches, grass, leaves and Christmas trees, and the item list refuses refrigerant appliances even though the scale sheet publishes a price for them, so those go elsewhere or wait for a call to the county.
Town of Horseheads Highway Department with Chemung County Solid Waste Management
Hire one of the haulers the town lists
For a household that would rather have brush, shrubbery or a bulky load carried away from the property.
Cost & conditions
The town notice lists haulers willing to transport and dispose of clean brush and shrubbery but states that the rate is negotiated between the customer and the provider and is not set by the town, and no hauling rate is published anywhere in the material read here. Confirm the price and the scope directly with the provider.
Arrange it
Choose a provider from the town list, agree the work and the rate directly, and keep the material sorted as the town notice advises.
The town takes no responsibility for the service rendered and sets no rate, and the county still refuses yard material at its own sites, so the provider has to carry the material to a private organics or compost facility.
Loads of municipal solid waste, construction and demolition material and mixed loads by weight, plus bagged household trash at the adjoining drop-off station and single items priced individually, including a couch or davenport, a stuffed chair, a mattress, a television, a computer monitor, tires and small items.
Every load must be fully tarped and an uncovered load is rejected; hazardous waste including fluorescent bulbs, ballasts, non-latex paints and driveway sealants is refused; broken electronic waste is refused; and the county item list refuses brush, branches, grass, leaves, Christmas trees and refrigerant appliances even though the scale sheet prices those appliances.

Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.
How much does pickup cost?+
Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.
Can I book a pickup for today?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.
Do my items need to be outside when I book?+
You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.
Where does a television go in Horseheads?+
To the Chemung County Lake Street scales at 1690 Lake Street in Elmira, where a television is priced per unit and has to arrive intact because broken electronic waste is refused, or to the recycler the county names, where the item list says televisions and monitors are free. Ask the county office for that free drop off location, and keep the set out of the bagged household trash.Official guidance
How do bulky items leave a Horseheads home?+
The town does not provide curbside collection, so residents either hire one of the local haulers the town lists or drive the load to the Chemung County Lake Street scales at 1690 Lake Street in Elmira. There a couch, a mattress or a stuffed chair carries a published single item price, wooden furniture and construction debris are charged the construction rate, and everything has to arrive fully tarped because an uncovered load is rejected.Official guidance
What do I do with an old refrigerator in Horseheads?+
Ask the county first. The Chemung County item list refuses refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers and air conditioners and points residents to a list of waste service providers, while the scale rate sheet for the same Lake Street address says items with refrigerant are accepted at a published per unit price with the doors off and the unit empty. Whichever route applies, empty the unit and remove the doors before it moves.Official guidance
Who takes brush and leaves in Horseheads?+
Not the town: its organic material notice states that Horseheads does not pick up or dispose of organic materials, and it lists local haulers who will transport clean brush and shrubbery at a rate negotiated with the customer. Residents can also deliver clean grass, leaves, branches, logs and wood chips to Black Gold, with the Big Flats Pit at 119-B South Corning Road in Corning the closest to most homes, or to the Chemung County Compost Facility on Blostein Boulevard, and the county landfill itself refuses brush, leaves and Christmas trees.Official guidance
Who collects trash and bulky items in Horseheads?+
No town crew does. The Town of Horseheads Highway Department publishes the refuse documents and its organic material notice states that the town does not pick up or dispose of that material, so residents hire one of the local haulers the town lists or take loads to the Chemung County facilities. The county runs the drop-off stations for bagged trash and recyclables and the Lake Street scales for everything larger.Official guidance
What does the county charge at the scales?+
The county prices single items, including a couch or davenport, a stuffed chair, a mattress, a television, a computer monitor, tires and small items, and charges loads by weight with a minimum up to 1000 pounds and a per ton rate above that, splitting municipal solid waste, construction and demolition material and mixed loads into different rates. Hazardous waste is refused rather than priced, and the town sets no hauling rate because providers negotiate their own.Official guidance
Can brush go out at the curb in Horseheads?+
No. The town's organic material notice states that Horseheads does not pick up or dispose of organic material, and the county landfill refuses brush, branches, grass, leaves and Christmas trees. The routes are a private hauler from the town's list, whose rate is negotiated with the customer, or a drop off at Black Gold, with the Big Flats Pit on South Corning Road the closest to most homes, or at the county compost facility on Blostein Boulevard.Official guidance
Is there a free way to get rid of a television?+
The county item list names one: it prices a television and a computer monitor at the Lake Street scales but states that both are free at a local recycler the list calls RE-ACT, and the unit has to be intact because broken electronic waste is not accepted. Ask the county for that drop off location before paying at the scale.Official guidance
