The Department of Sanitation (DSNY) changed the usual time for placing trash, recycling, and compost out at the curb for collection. The new set-out times will help keep city streets clean and reduce food sources for rats.
Under the new rules, residential buildings must:
- Place waste out after 6 PM in a secure container of 55 gallons or less with a secure lid, or
- Place waste out after 8 PM if putting bags directly on the curb.
Bundled cardboard and bulk items can be placed out any time between 6PM and midnight.
Appliances containing CFC must be placed out between 6PM and midnight the evening before the scheduled CFC and Freon Removalappointment.
To ensure collection, all waste must be set out no later than midnight the night before your collection day.
The new set-out times wentinto effect on April 1, 2023.
