New Rochelle DPW offers scheduled bulk trash pickup for large items (furniture, mattresses, appliances). Residents must call or schedule online in advance. White goods (refrigerators, AC units, dehumidifiers) require CFC removal certification under EPA Clean Air Act §608. Construction debris is not accepted curbside.
Bulk waste disposal in New Rochelle is handled through DPW's scheduled bulk pickup program under the City Code (eCode360) sanitation chapter. Residents call DPW or book online to schedule collection of large items — upholstered furniture, mattresses, appliances, and similar household goods. White goods containing refrigerants (refrigerators, freezers, window ACs, dehumidifiers, water coolers) require CFC/HFC removal by a Section 608-certified technician under EPA Clean Air Act §608 (40 CFR Part 82, Subpart F) before curbside pickup; the tag confirming removal must be affixed. Under New York's mattress recycling (Bye Bye Mattress) framework and NY ECL §27-3001, mattresses and box springs must be wrapped in plastic to keep them dry and recyclable. Construction and demolition debris, concrete, tires, hazardous materials, and electronics are not accepted curbside — electronics go to Westchester's e-waste program (NY ECL §27-2603, Electronic Equipment Recycling and Reuse Act) and C&D debris must be taken to a licensed transfer station. Scavenging of bulk items before pickup is a code violation.
Placing bulk without scheduling: $100-$250 summons and DPW refusal. White goods without CFC certification: EPA civil penalty up to $51,796/day and City Code violation. Illegal dumping of C&D debris: NY ECL §71-2703 fines up to $2,500.
