NYC has no resident-accessible landfill or transfer station; the 5 DSNY Special Waste Drop-Off sites (one per borough) are the year-round drop-off facilities and are listed as drop-off entries. Bulk pickup rules vary by district for automatic collection; the citywide nyc.gov/bulk appointment system is the reliable route for oversized nonrecyclables. Since Oct 2024 curbside composting is mandatory for all residents (fines since Apr 1, 2025); properties with 1-9 units must set trash out in bins with secure lids.
