We collect trash, recycling, and composting for all New York City Public Schools (NYCPS) and for some private and parochial schools. NYCPS can receive supplemental recycling collection where collection route capacity allows.
All NYCPS receive daily DSNY collection.
Find your collection schedule for trash collection.
For schools that do not receive Curbside Composting, trash is still collected every weekday, Monday - Friday.
Set out trash, recycling, and composting at the curb between 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM on your collection day.
If your school hosts a night or weekend event, waste material must be stored until 3:00 PM on the next collection day.

If your school is NOT on a daily collection schedule, your recycling and garbage are collected on the same days as your local neighborhood. Set out recycling and garbage AFTER 3:00 PM the night before collection.
