BULK TRASH COLLECTION is provided to residential homes on a prescheduled basis; check the "Guide" for schedule and a complete listing of the rules and regulations. Bulky items in your home such as furniture, mattresses, appliances, rugs, lamps, curtains & blinds, bicycles and boxes of small items are examples of acceptable items; no commercial debris will be accepted.
Construction debris such as sheetrock, plaster, roof shingles, house siding, ceramic tile, brick, stone and concrete will not be collected by the Town of Yorktown. Household chemicals must be brought to Westchester County's "Household Chemical Cleanup Days" for proper disposal; refer to www.westchestergov.com for schedule.
Leaves and tied branches will be picked up with Bulk Trash. As always, leaves must be packed in paper biodegradable bags (available at the Environmental Conservation Office). Branches must not exceed 4' in length, 5" in diameter and tied in bundles not exceeding 60 lbs. The Town does not collect stumps or logs.
Reminders:
* All items to be removed MUST be placed at curbside no later than 6:00 am on Monday
of the scheduled week. Town Law prohibits items or materials which are intended for bulk trash
collections from being placed at curbside for more than TWO (2) DAYS prior to the first day
scheduled for each section pickup.
* In order to keep recyclable items out of the waste stream, the following items are picked up in separate vehicles: car tires, car batteries, bulk metal, TV's and computer monitors, paper biodegradable leaf bags and tied branches. To minimize the number of trips for E.C.D. vehicles, those items should be placed separately along the curbside.
