Special Storm Debris Collections in
Neighborhoods Hardest Hit by Sandy Monday, March
18, 2013
The Department has been removing non-commercial waste from
homeowners engaged in small projects. However, homeowners who are
undertaking large demolition and reconstruction projects must now arrange for
their own dumpster by contacting a private rubbish removal service.
Small quantities of construction and
demolition debris resulting from work done by homeowners will continue
to be picked up by the DSNY on regularly scheduled refuse collection days
provided it is properly bundled. Wood may not be more than four feet in length
and must be tied up securely. DSNY crews will pick up a maximum of ten bulky
items per home.
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.
For additional information on DSNY refuse collection,
please call 311 or visit www.nyc.gov/sanitation.
