To dispose of a refrigerator in NYC, you must schedule a free CFC removal appointment via 311 or online, then remove doors/locks and place it curbside for DSNY pickup, ensuring it's at the curb the night before your scheduled date. Alternatively, if buying new, many retailers offer removal; for private haulers, companies like LoadUp provide pickup and eco-friendly disposal for a fee.

No, Styrofoam (Expanded Polystyrene or #6 plastic) is generally not accepted in curbside recycling bins across New York State, as it's hard to recycle, contaminates other materials, and has low value; NYS banned new foam food/beverage containers and loose fill in 2022, but some counties (like Monroe, near Buffalo) have specific drop-off centers for clean, white packing foam, while most other items like food containers, egg cartons, and peanuts go in the trash.

Place metal items in clear bags (between 13 and 55 gallons in size) or blue-labeled recycling bin (55 gallons or less) with a tight-fitting lid. Large metal items, such as appliances, must be placed curbside next to the recycling container.
