About this center

Special waste disposal is crucial for protecting health and the environment, and NYC residents can drop off non-commercial special waste at designated Special Waste Sites and SAFE Disposal Events. Accepted items at these locations include batteries, electronics, medical waste, and certain types of paint, among others. However, items like air conditioners, flammable liquids, and asbestos are not accepted. Residents must provide valid ID and proof of NYC residency, such as a utility bill, when visiting these sites. It's important to note that commercial vehicles will be turned away, and the sites are specifically for non-residential waste generated within NYC. For those unable to drop off items, alternative disposal options may be available.

Had to recycle a tv. Got a bit turned around but was directed by a DOS staff person and she directed me to the right area. When I got there two DOS workers were there and were so nice and took the tv out of my car for me. Corrected the info I had been given about the recycling hours. A nice all-round experience. 😊

I went today to this facility. There were two men who were nicest people - they helped me unloading and putting in the container. There no lines no waiting. Thank you DSNY

Was trying to dispose of many household chemicals at the safe disposal event it gets packed and will take you all day so I left. Though this place doesn’t take everything (they only took my used and unused motor oil and gallons of paint) This only took like half an hour I got here at 1030 am on a Saturday line up coming down 120th street between 29th and 30th Ave
