Bulk pickup in Nassau County is scheduled through your local sanitation district, town, or village. Most offer weekly or bi-weekly bulk days for furniture and appliances. Construction debris, tires, and hazardous waste are excluded and must go to Nassau County transfer stations or S.T.O.P. events.
Town of Hempstead offers weekly bulk pickup with specific rules: one truckload per week, items must be under 6 feet, metal items picked up separately. Town of Oyster Bay schedules bulk by appointment. Freon-containing appliances (refrigerators, freezers, AC units) require separate scheduling and tag under federal EPA rules. Nassau County operates S.T.O.P. (Stop Throwing Out Pollutants) household hazardous waste collection events several times yearly at various sites. Electronic waste (e-waste) collection is handled at county transfer stations under NY Electronic Equipment Recycling and Reuse Act. Construction and demolition debris is the homeowner's responsibility and cannot be placed at curb.
Improper bulk set-out (C and D debris, hazardous materials) draws 100 to 500 dollar fines. Illegal dumping at roadside is a misdemeanor under NY ECL 27-0914.
