4.2/5(15 reviews)

The New York City Department of Sanitation provides essential services for the proper disposal of harmful household products and chemicals. Residents can safely dispose of toxic items such as cleaning products, disinfectants, cosmetics, detergents, drain cleaners, and pest control products, which should not be poured down drains or toilets. Instead, these items should be dried out with absorbent materials and placed in the trash, with containers double-bagged and marked as "Danger - not for recycling." For other household chemicals, residents are encouraged to use up the product and recycle the empty containers. Additionally, the department offers SAFE Disposal Events for the safe disposal of household chemicals and leftover paint, including latex, non-latex, and spray paint. PaintCare, a nonprofit organization, facilitates the recycling of leftover paint at designated drop-off sites throughout the city, accepting house paint, primers, and stains in original containers. Residents can also request free pickup services for large volumes of leftover paint. Special care is required for skin lightening products containing mercury, which must be disposed of properly.

Recycling in New York, New York

New York City requires every resident to recycle, and DSNY picks it up at the curb for free. Metal, glass, rigid plastic, and cartons go in one set-out. Paper and cardboard go in another. Bins with lids can go out after 6 p.m. Clear bags wait until 8 p.m. Everything has to be out by midnight. Buildings with 1 to 9 units have to use an official NYC bin for trash. A wrong set-out can be fined. New York's bottle bill refund is 5 cents.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the two New York City recycling streams?

Metal, glass bottles and jars, rigid plastics, and beverage cartons go together in a labeled bin or a clear bag. Mixed paper and cardboard go in a separate labeled bin or clear bag. Flatten cardboard and tie it with twine. Do not use a cardboard box as a bin. Milk cartons and juice boxes stay with the containers, not the paper. The number on a rigid plastic does not matter. Ice cream tubs, foam, soft plastic, bags, and tanglers such as hoses and cords stay out.

When can New York City trash and recycling go to the curb?

Bins of 55 gallons or less, with a secure lid, after 6 p.m. Clear bags after 8 p.m. All of it has to be out by midnight or it can be missed. Buildings with 1 to 9 homes must use only an official NYC bin for trash. Larger buildings can use their own lidded bin, or bags after 8 p.m. A first wrong set-out is $50, a second is $100, and later ones are $200.

Is composting required in New York City?

Yes. As of April 1, 2025, food scraps, food-soiled paper, and yard waste have to be separated citywide. Use a labeled bin of 55 gallons or less with a lid, or a DSNY brown bin. Extra leaves can go in a paper lawn bag or a clear bag. For a building with 1 to 8 units, fines start at $25. For 9 or more units, they start at $100.

What is the bottle deposit in New York City?

New York refunds 5 cents on a covered beverage container. Those cans and bottles can still be recycled if you do not return them, but the nickel is paid at a store.
