Bulk items (furniture, mattresses, appliances) typically accepted on scheduled bulk pickup days by town hauler or at Rockland County Solid Waste Management Authority (RCSWMA) facilities. Appliances with refrigerants require separate handling.
Rockland County Solid Waste Management Authority operates the Hi-Tor Solid Waste Management Facility and runs drop-off and household hazardous waste (HHW) programs. Bulk pickup schedules are set by each municipality's contracted hauler — typically monthly or on-call for items like couches, mattresses, and carpeting. Appliances containing CFCs/HFCs (refrigerators, freezers, AC units) require refrigerant removal before pickup — haulers typically charge $25-$75. Electronic waste (TVs, computers) must be recycled per NYS Electronic Equipment Recycling and Reuse Act (EERRA) and is banned from curbside trash. RCSWMA accepts e-waste free at drop-off. Mattresses should be wrapped in plastic during collection.
Illegal dumping or setout of banned items: $100-$500 fines. NYS EERRA violations for e-waste: state-level penalties.
