Community Recycling Events

DSNY holds neighborhood recycling events across the city to give New Yorkers an opportunity to recycle items that are not collected curbside.

These events are for NYC residents ONLY, not businesses. Commercial vehicles are NOT allowed.

Community E-Waste and Textile Events

We hold e-waste and textile collection events in every Community Boards district in New York City. These pop-up events are a free and convenient way for NYC residents to get rid of e-waste and textiles.
