Area figures describe 434 buildings holding 20,923 apartments, so check the specific address before you sign: one building's record can sit far from its neighborhood's average. Building age and condition change access, scope and timing for junk removal work.
What do Flatiron buildings typically look like and how does that affect junk removal?
The median Flatiron apartment building went up in 1910, 39.8% of apartments sit in buildings from before 1940 (citywide 45.8%), and 5.4% are in buildings of five floors or fewer (citywide 37.1%). Walk-up flights, elevator reservations and stairwell width drive most of the quote difference here.
How many items can DSNY collect for free at once?
Up to 6 items per collection day, set out at the curb the evening before your regular trash or recycling pickup. DSNY no longer offers or schedules appointments for large-item pickup; you set items out on your normal collection night and the truck takes them the next morning, as long as each item follows the special disposal rules for its category.
Do I need to schedule an appointment for NYC bulk trash pickup?
No. DSNY discontinued large-item pickup appointments; the service is now curbside only. You set out up to 6 items on your regular collection night without calling 311 or booking anything in advance. If you need more than 6 items removed, or need it removed on a specific day, that is when a paid hauler becomes the practical option.
Will junk removal companies take my refrigerator or window AC unit?
Most will, but these appliances hold refrigerant that has to be recovered before the unit is scrapped, so published NYC pricing typically adds $25 to $50 for that step. Confirm with the hauler ahead of time that refrigerant recovery is included in the quote so there is no surprise charge on pickup day.
