Special Storm Debris Collection Service Information

Special Storm Debris Collection Service will Continue in Neighborhoods Hardest Hit by Storm Through Year End

Heavily-Impacted Neighborhoods (including Broad Channel) will Receive Special Debris Removal on the Days Preceding Regularly Scheduled Collection Days.

The Special Storm Debris Collections Will Continue Until December 31, 2012; Regular Collection Schedule Will Resume in 2013.

The Department of Sanitation announced that special storm debris collections in neighborhoods hit hard by the storm will continue until December 31, 2012.

Department of Sanitation crews will provide pickups of bulky storm debris for our area on the day preceding each of their regularly scheduled refuse collection days. 

For example...if your scheduled refuse collection day is a Monday, you should place out storm debris on Saturday evening for Sunday collection. 

These special storm debris collections will end on December 31, 2012. 

Effective January 2, 2013, regular collection schedules will resume in all of the areas and bulk items will be collected on regularly scheduled refuse collection days. 

Residents are encouraged to place storm related debris on curbside before the special collection schedule ends on December 31, 2012. 

While the Department of Sanitation does remove non-commercial waste from homeowners engaged in small projects, homeowners who are undertaking large projects should arrange for their own dumpster by contacting a private rubbish removal service. Bulk and construction debris generated by hired contractors or fee-for-service personnel on home repair or renovation projects is considered commercial waste and it is the responsibility of the contractor to arrange for appropriate private disposal.
