Does New York City pick up construction debris?
Junk removal in New York City starts at $79 with Dropcurb. DSNY provides free large item curbside removal — no appointment needed, just set out up to 6 items on your regular collection day. But mattresses must be bagged, CFC appliances need a separate 311 request, and e-waste is banned from curbside entirely.
City program details: DSNY large item curbside removal — free for all NYC residents. As of 2024, pick-up appointments are no longer offered or required. Place up to 6 large items at the curb on your regular collection day. Mattresses and box springs must be sealed in a plastic bag or encasement.
