I’ll be moving in the next couple months and was wondering how to get rid of some of the larger item I don’t want Imy old TV, bed, sofa, antique wardrobe).

Obviouslu I’ll see if anyone on craig’s list wants tehm, but if they don’t, how do I throw them away? Is there a service? How expensive is it? In other cities movers have taken old items (I don’t know what they did with them).

  1. Go to the NYC Department of Sanitation website:

    http://www.nyc.gov/html/dsny/html/home/home.shtml

    Click in the dropdown in green on the right side of the page “How do I dispose of…”

    Also see “Collection Schedule” directly below that.

    In NYC, most times when large bulk items are placed on the street (antique wardrobe) they will be “recycled” by passersby before the sanitation department gets there to pick it up!

  2. You can leave them at the curb on the day that the DOS picks up big items. I guess if your supt doesn’t know the day, ask them when you see them, or call 311.
