You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard and containers
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Furniture and other larger items
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

The town takes bulky items on the regular collection day with no appointment, and the allowance is three large items at the curb at the same time as the rubbish containers.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Households inside the Town of Oyster Bay Solid Waste Disposal District. The town publishes no separate fee for the three large items it takes at the curb on a regularly scheduled collection day.
When & how
Put the items out on any regular collection day, no earlier than 5 p.m. the evening before and no later than the collection start, and remember there is no collection on Sundays or on the town's listed holidays. Anything that can be broken down, such as carpet, sheetrock or lumber, is tied in bundles under 50 pounds and under four feet in any direction.
Get it ready
Keep garbage, rubbish and recycling in separate containers, use containers of 32 gallons or less without attached lids or mechanical designs, keep every container and bundle under 50 pounds, and keep the day's rubbish at ten containers and 200 pounds or less.
Large pieces of furniture are named among the three large items the town takes at the curb, so a couch, table or dresser goes out with the weekly collection rather than an appointment.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Households inside the Town of Oyster Bay Solid Waste Disposal District, using one of the three large item places at the curb on a regular collection day, with no separate fee published.
When & how
Set the furniture at the curb on a regular collection day, no earlier than 5 p.m. the evening before, and keep it clear of the pails so the crew can reach it.
Get it ready
Break down anything that fits the rubbish rules, keep carpeting, rugs and padding rolled and tied in lengths under four feet, and keep upholstered pieces dry so the crew can lift them.
A mattress is a large household item rather than a container item, so it uses one of the three large item places at the curb and no mattress fee is published.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Households inside the Town of Oyster Bay Solid Waste Disposal District, taking the mattress as one of the three large items allowed at the curb on a regular collection day, with no separate fee published.
When & how
Put the mattress out on a regular collection day, no earlier than 5 p.m. the evening before, and keep the box spring beside it so both count as they are set out.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and wrapped to whatever extent the weather requires, keep it clear of the pails and the roadway, and leave the frame out only if it is one of the three large items for that day.
Household appliances are large items on the town route, and the Homeowners Cleanup accepted list names air conditioners and large metal items rather than appliances in general.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Households inside the Town of Oyster Bay Solid Waste Disposal District, either as one of the three large items at the curb on a regular collection day, or as an air conditioner or a large metal item on a Homeowners Cleanup day, with no separate fee published. The published cleanup list is itemized and names no washer, dryer, stove or other generic appliance, so call (516) 677-5848 about a specific unit.
When & how
Put an appliance at the curb on a regular collection day, or take it to the Old Bethpage complex on a Homeowners Cleanup date, where air conditioners are named on the accepted list and the day runs 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance, remove or secure any door that could trap a child, and leave it outside rather than in a container. Take the unit in with the load if it is headed to a cleanup day, and arrive in a passenger car, van, pickup or small trailer.
Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners are the town's own examples of large items taken at the curb, and the published condition is that refrigerator and freezer doors come off before the unit goes out.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Households inside the Town of Oyster Bay Solid Waste Disposal District, taking the unit as one of the three large items at the curb, or bringing it to a Homeowners Cleanup day, with no separate fee published.
When & how
Set the unit at the curb on a regular collection day with the doors already removed, or take it to the Old Bethpage complex on a Homeowners Cleanup date between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Get it ready
Take the doors off a refrigerator or freezer before it reaches the curb, empty the unit of food and loose parts, and leave it upright where the crew can reach it without blocking the sidewalk.
Lumber, sheetrock and similar material is taken at the curb only when it is tied in bundles under 50 pounds and under four feet, and clean broken concrete goes to a Homeowners Cleanup day.
City cost & eligibility
No fee is published for either route, and the town sets a size and weight condition on the curbside route rather than a price, so confirm the load with the Sanitation Department at (516) 677-5848 before a project pile goes out. Bundled material at the curb and clean broken concrete at a Homeowners Cleanup day are the published residential routes, and anything larger has no published town collection.
When & how
Tie the material in bundles under 50 pounds and under four feet for a regular collection day, or carry it to a Homeowners Cleanup date at the Old Bethpage complex, where clean broken concrete, sheetrock and tree stumps are named on the accepted list and the gate runs 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep the pile inside the three large item and 200 pound rubbish limits if it is going out at the curb, remove soil from stumps, and keep liquids, motor vehicle parts, flammable material and pressurized tanks out of any load because the town refuses them.
Tires are not curbside rubbish, and the town takes them on its Homeowners Cleanup days and at the S.T.O.P. days, where automobile tires are accepted with or without rims.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Town of Oyster Bay Solid Waste Disposal District households with proof of residency at the published collection days. No separate tire fee is published, and the town reserves the right to limit quantities.
When & how
Bring the tires to a Homeowners Cleanup day, which runs 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the town's dates, or to a S.T.O.P. day, which accepts automobile tires with or without rims between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep tires off the curb on regular collection days, load them so they cannot roll in the vehicle, and arrive in a passenger car, van, pickup or small trailer because commercial vehicles and vehicles with more than four wheels are not admitted.
Solid waste may be placed at the curb no earlier than 5 p.m. on the day before the scheduled collection, and the containers come back off the curbline by 8 p.m. on collection day. There is no collection at all on Sundays or on the town's listed holidays, and a holiday that falls early in the week pushes the rest of that week's collections one day later.
Small covered containers, ten of them, 200 pounds total
Garbage and rubbish containers may not exceed 32 gallons, may not have a permanently attached lid and may not be built for mechanical collection, and no container or bundle may weigh more than 50 pounds when filled. A household may put out no more than ten containers and no more than 200 pounds of rubbish in total on one collection day, and garbage and rubbish stay in separate containers.
Three large items such as a refrigerator, an air conditioner or a large piece of furniture may be placed at the curb on any collection day, and no appointment is needed. Refrigerator and freezer doors come off first, trees, stumps, trunks, branches and roots are cut to four feet and bundled with the soil removed from stumps, and carpeting, rugs and padding are rolled and tied in lengths under four feet. Nothing on the town's prohibited list goes out at all, including liquids, motor vehicle parts, flammable material and pressurized tanks.
Two different programs at the Old Bethpage complex
Hazardous material and e-waste go to a S.T.O.P. day, and non-hazardous debris such as tires, clean broken concrete, large metal, propane tanks, air conditioners and yard waste goes to a Homeowners Cleanup day. Both are open to households inside the town's Solid Waste Disposal District with proof of residency, and the cleanup day admits passenger cars, vans, pickups and small trailers while turning away businesses and vehicles with more than four wheels.
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.
A town household with a couch, a mattress, an appliance, a refrigerator or air conditioner, or another item too large for a pail.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Households inside the Town of Oyster Bay Solid Waste Disposal District, with three large items allowed at the curb on any regularly scheduled collection day and no fee published for that allowance.
Arrange it
Set the items at the curb on a regular collection day, no earlier than 5 p.m. the evening before, with refrigerator and freezer doors already removed and the rest of the day's rubbish inside the ten container and 200 pound limit.
Three large items is the whole allowance for a collection day, nothing goes out on Sundays or the town's listed holidays, and liquids, motor vehicle parts, flammable material, pressurized tanks, hazardous waste and industrial waste are refused at the curb.
A district household with tires, clean broken concrete, sheetrock, tree stumps, large metal, an air conditioner, propane tanks, yard waste or a boat, trailer or camper it is retiring.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Households inside the Town of Oyster Bay Solid Waste Disposal District with proof of residency at the published cleanup dates. The town publishes no fee for the program, and the villages with their own garbage districts are not admitted.
Arrange it
Load a passenger car, van, pickup or small trailer and bring the load to the Old Bethpage complex on a cleanup date, which runs 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Paper shredding runs at the same dates for residents only.
The day is for non-hazardous waste only, businesses and vehicles with more than four wheels are turned away, a boat, trailer, camper or motorcycle needs proof of ownership and all fluids and batteries removed before arrival, and hazardous material has to go to a S.T.O.P. day instead.
A district household with paint, solvents, pesticides, gasoline, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, propane tanks, thermostats or motor oil that cannot go in the pail.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Town of Oyster Bay Solid Waste Disposal District households with proof of residency at the published S.T.O.P. dates, with the town reserving the right to limit quantities.
Arrange it
Store the material safely, load it so nothing can spill, and bring it to the Old Bethpage complex between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on a S.T.O.P. date. Latex paint, e-waste and motor oil are also taken on weekdays between 7 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
The program refuses explosives and fireworks, medical waste including needles and prescription drugs, biological or pathological waste, radioactive material and any unlabeled container, so those items have to be handled through another route.
A business, a landlord, a village outside the collection district, or a household with a load the town's limits do not cover.
Cost & conditions
No private hauling rate is published, and the town's programs are open by residency rather than by contract, so the price depends on the hauler, the material and the volume. Ask for a quote before the pile is set out and confirm that the load is going to a permitted disposal site.
Arrange it
Arrange the pickup with a licensed hauler and keep the material off the right of way until the hauler arrives, so nothing is left for the town crew to find.
A private hauler does not change the town's residency rules or the refusal of hazardous waste, liquids and motor vehicle parts at the curb, and villages with their own garbage district still have to use their own district or a private service.
Self hauling in Oyster Bay means the town's own complex rather than a county landfill. Everything the weekly trucks do not take goes to the Solid Waste Disposal Complex on Bethpage-Sweet Hollow Road in Old Bethpage, which keeps weekday hours for e-waste, latex paint and used motor oil and then opens its gates wider on the S.T.O.P. and Homeowners Cleanup days for hazardous material, tires, clean broken concrete, sheetrock, stumps, large metal, propane tanks and yard waste. Households inside the town's Solid Waste Disposal District need proof of residency, the cleanup day admits passenger cars, vans, pickups and small trailers rather than commercial vehicles, and used motor oil is also accepted every day at the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park marina entrance.
