Bulk items (furniture, mattresses, appliances) are collected by White Plains DPW by appointment. Some items require tags or fees. Electronics and hazardous waste must go to Westchester County household hazardous waste events — not curbside.
Residents call DPW or use the online portal to schedule bulk pickup. Appliances containing refrigerants (AC units, refrigerators) require freon removal certification or a city sticker. Mattresses should be bagged in plastic. Construction debris is not collected curbside — it must be hauled by a licensed private carter or taken to a Westchester County transfer station. E-waste collection occurs at periodic Westchester County events.
Illegal bulk dumping: fines $250-$2,500. Placing construction debris in regular collection: refusal and fines.
