Anton Junicic Ent. runs a family-owned junk car buyer and used parts yard at 776 3rd Avenue in Brooklyn, on a lot that began empty and became a family investment. The owner credits his late father, a diesel engineer who diagnosed broken truck fleets, with the work ethic behind the business. The yard pays cash for used, unwanted, abandoned, damaged, and non-running vehicles across Brooklyn and the five boroughs, including Staten Island. Sellers get a free quote by phone or online form, a scheduled pickup, and payment at pickup, and should have a photo ID and the title ready. On-site technicians help with used parts, from fenders to transmissions. The yard buys cars and does not sell them.

Recycling in Brooklyn, New York

Brooklyn is a borough of New York City, so the NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) collects its trash, recycling, and compost at the curb. Metal, glass, plastic, cartons, paper, and cardboard go out for recycling, and food scraps and yard waste go out every week on your recycling day for curbside composting. Paint, batteries, e-waste, motor oil, and tires go to the DSNY Special Waste Drop-Off at 459 North Henry Street in Greenpoint, open Tuesday through Saturday.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Brooklyn NY have curbside recycling?

Yes. DSNY collects recycling at the curb across Brooklyn. Metal, glass, plastic, and cartons are recyclable, and so are mixed paper and cardboard. Use a labeled bin of 55 gallons or less with a secure lid, or a clear plastic bag.

What time do I put recycling out in Brooklyn NY?

Set out bins after 6:00 PM and clear plastic bags after 8:00 PM. Everything must be out by midnight for collection. Flatten cardboard, tie it with twine, and set it beside your bins or bags. Never use a cardboard box as a bin.

Does Brooklyn NY have curbside composting?

Yes, and composting is mandatory for all NYC residents. DSNY collects food scraps, food-soiled paper, leaf and yard waste, flowers, and Christmas trees every week on your recycling day. Use a labeled bin of 55 gallons or less with a secure lid, or your DSNY brown bin. Since April 1, 2025, property owners face fines when compostable material is mixed with trash.

Where do I take old paint and batteries in Brooklyn NY?

Take them to the DSNY Special Waste Drop-Off at 459 North Henry Street in Greenpoint, with the entrance off Kingsland Avenue north of Greenpoint Avenue. It is open Tuesday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and closes on legal holidays and in severe weather. The site takes paint (up to 5 gallons per visit), aerosols, all batteries, fluorescent bulbs and CFLs, and mercury-containing devices as household hazardous waste.

Where do I recycle electronics, motor oil, and tires in Brooklyn NY?

The Greenpoint Special Waste Drop-Off at 459 North Henry Street takes e-waste including cords and cables, e-cigarettes and vape pens, up to 10 quarts of motor oil and transmission fluid, up to 2 oil filters, and up to 4 passenger car tires per visit. The site serves NYC residents only, and businesses and commercial vehicles are turned away. Bring proof of residency such as a NYS driver license or a utility bill.

What do I do with an old trash or recycling bin in Brooklyn NY?

Bins made mostly of plastic or metal go out with recycling. Turn the bin upside down and attach a note saying it goes with recycling. Other non-recyclable bins, such as cans and pails, go out with trash.

Recycling tips for Brooklyn

  • •Look up your recycling and compost day on the DSNY collection schedule before you set anything out.
  • •If you bag recycling, use clear plastic bags only.
  • •Line your compost bin with a clear plastic, paper, or compostable bag, and tie twigs and branches with twine next to the bin.
  • •Keep wrappers, pet waste, diapers, and foam out of the compost bin.
  • •Buildings with 4 or more residential units must set aside a recycling storage area with enough bins and recycling signage.
