Bulk items (furniture, appliances, mattresses) accepted at UCRRA New Paltz and Kingston transfer stations with per-item fees. Freon appliances require additional fee for refrigerant removal. Some haulers offer bulk pickup by appointment.
The Ulster County Resource Recovery Agency (UCRRA) operates two transfer stations: Kingston Transfer Station (999 Flatbush Road) and New Paltz Transfer Station (N. Ohioville Road). Both accept bulk household items at per-item fees. Typical fees: mattresses/box springs approximately $15-$25; sofas/upholstered furniture $15-$30; freon-containing appliances (refrigerators, freezers, AC units) approximately $20-$30 for certified refrigerant recovery; tires $5-$15 depending on size; electronics (TVs, monitors) banned from trash under NY Electronic Equipment Recycling and Reuse Act — accepted free or at reduced fee at UCRRA. Large loads charged by weight (tipping fee per ton). Private haulers such as County Waste and Royal Carting offer curbside bulk pickup by appointment for additional charge. Hazardous household waste (paint, solvents, propane tanks) accepted at UCRRA HHW events, not in regular trash. Construction debris requires separate C&D disposal. Illegal dumping on public or private property violates NY ECL and town codes.
Illegal dumping under NY ECL §71-2707: fines up to $15,000 and up to 1 year imprisonment. Town illegal dumping ordinances: typically $250-$2,500 plus cleanup costs. Failure to remove freon properly from appliances: NY DEC violation.
