Where Is the Dump

Dumps & landfills in New York

Outside New York City, most residents dump at town or county transfer stations, often residents-only with an annual permit, punch card or per-bag fee; fees are commonly charged per bag or per item rather than per ton. Large landfills are mostly private or commercial and generally do not take walk-in residents. NYC has no public dump: Department of Sanitation bulk pickup and SAFE disposal events cover residents.

State rules to know

Electronics

Covered electronics (TVs, computers, monitors, etc.) cannot be put in landfills or curbside trash in New York, including by households, since January 1, 2015. Take them to a manufacturer or retailer program or an e-waste collection site. Official rule ↗

Tires

State law bans land burial of waste tires, so tires are not accepted as ordinary trash; transfer stations that take them charge a per-tire fee and often cap the number per visit. Official rule ↗

Household hazardous waste is handled by county programs: permanent sites (for example Monroe County EcoPark by appointment, Westchester H-MRF by appointment) or periodic collection events (Cattaraugus each October, Sullivan, Guilderland, Dutchess). NYC runs SAFE disposal events and DSNY special-waste drop-off sites; those are not listed here as facilities.
