Bronx residents may schedule free DSNY bulk pickup for large items (furniture, mattresses, appliances) through 311 or the DSNY app. Mattresses and box springs must be sealed in plastic mattress bags (state law) before curbside placement.
DSNY collects up to 6 bulk items per household per collection day at no cost. Appliances containing CFCs (refrigerators, freezers, AC units) require a separate appointment for Freon removal via 311. Electronics (e-waste) cannot be placed in regular trash under NY ECL §27-2611 and must go to Bronx drop-off sites or scheduled pickup. Construction debris is NOT accepted; residents must hire licensed private carters.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
