The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Valley Stream runs its own Sanitation Department from 175 Arlington Avenue, and the rules are strict about timing. Household trash goes at the curb in a covered pail or a sealed bag under 32 gallons and 50 pounds, put out no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before collection and no later than 6:30 a.m. on the collection morning. Furniture, mattresses and metal go out only on a special pickup that has to be booked with the office first, with a five item limit per household, the items at the curb no earlier than 6 p.m. the evening before, mattress sets wrapped and refrigerator doors removed, and the warning that putting items out without calling may draw a summons. Yard waste is a separate Wednesday route that runs all year, with leaves, grass, flowers, hedge clippings, plants and small branches in bags, cans or tied three to four foot bundles and a ten bag weekly limit, and no collection in a week when a village holiday falls early in the week. Residents may also haul their own material to the Homeowner Disposal Area, which charges by weight with proof of residency and treats small construction and yard waste loads as an approved exception.
