Huntington, NY Trash & Recycling: Bulk Item Disposal (2026)

on the second pick-up date of the week" for residential parcels on curbside collection. Bedding disposed of as a bulk item must be sealed in one bedbug-proof bag, constructed and sized to fully contain the mattress or box spring and securely closed; failing to bag bedding is a separate violation of department regulations (§117-21(A)(6)(a)-(b)). Separately, § 117-26 lists items that cannot go out for ordinary collection and must instead go through bulk pickup: boxes and crates unless broken down to boards no more than 4 feet long, building materials and lumber bundled to 4 feet, carpet and linoleum in 4-foot sections, oversized doors and screens unless dismantled to 4-foot pieces, whole machinery platforms and pallets unless broken down, and fence sections, poles or signs unless reduced to 4-foot pieces. These size-reduction rules keep long or bulky material off the truck loading mechanism and out of the way of the biweekly bulk run.
