Metal Items

Curbside collections for metal items take place every Wednesday, by appointment only. To set up an appointment, contact the Highway Department office at (914) 381-7825. Please note: appointments must be scheduled before 2:00pm on the Tuesday prior to the intended pickup date. Items should be placed curbside by 7:00am on the Wednesday of the appointment, and set out no earlier than the night before (after dusk).

For information about bulk and non-metal items, visit the Recycling & Sanitation page.

Seasonal Leaf Collection

The Highway Department provides seasonal leaf collection from mid-October to the end of December. Please note that property owners must:

• Place leaves at the curb, not in the street.

• Leaves left in the streets can create road hazards and clog storm drains.

• Make certain the leaves are free of branches, logs, grass clippings, and other organic waste and garbage.
  Please note: Leaf piles contaminated with any of the above debris will not be collected until the property owner removes contaminates.

Annual Holiday Tree Collection

Curbside pickup of holiday trees is available from the last week in December until mid-January.

Please note: holiday wreaths will be collected by the Sanitation Department as "rubbish"
on the second pick-up day of the week.

Other Rubbish

All other rubbish is handled by the Joint Sanitation Commission. For collection schedules and details, visit the Recycling & Sanitation page .
