Large Items

A large item (also known as bulk) is something that is too large to fit into a bin or bag. NYC residents can get free curbside removal of large items.

Set your large items out at the curb next to your trash. You can set out up to six items (bags, bundles) per collection day. Pick-up appointments are no longer offered and cannot be scheduled.

You can set out:

  • Metal and rigid plastic items before your recycling collection
  • Non-recyclable items before your trash collection

Find your collection schedule.

NOTE: If you receive Curbside Composting collection, large items should be set out on your trash-only day, NOT your recycling day.

Items with Special Disposal Rules

The following large items have special disposal rules. If you do not follow the rules, the items will not be collected, and you may be fined.
