NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) collects trash on Staten Island. Under the 2024 Containerization Rule, residential buildings with 1-9 units must place refuse in official NYC bins (wheeled, lidded) at the curb no earlier than 6 PM the night before collection, or 4 AM the morning of collection if in a bin.
Collection days vary by section of Staten Island; check the DSNY Collection Schedule. Bins must be removed from the curb by the end of the collection day. Loose bags (non-containerized) face escalating violations. Buildings with 10+ units will transition to stationary on-street containers per the Trash Revolution rollout.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
