New York Drop-off Regulations

Official requirements from the city sanitation department

Important: Read Before Disposing

Mattresses and box springs must be completely sealed in a plastic bag or wrap before being placed at the curb for collection. This is a legal requirement in New York City to prevent the spread of bed bugs. Items should be placed at the curb after 4 PM the day before your regular trash and recycling collection day. No appointment is needed for bulk items like mattresses; they are collected with your regular household waste.

Illegal dumping fine: $1,500 - $10,000 for a first offense
