Household Special Waste Drop on Hunts Point Ave is the local spot for residents to get rid of household hazardous and bulky items. Locals from the Bronx use it when regular curbside pickup won’t take something or for one-off drop-offs. Expect a straightforward city-side facility that handles neighborhood disposal needs.
There’s usually an entrance booth where vehicles pull in to check in before driving to the unloading area. Bring the vehicle up to the drop-off point and prepare to unload by the bays or containers set out on site. Lines can build up on weekends and during city cleanup seasons, so plan for some waiting. The site looks like a working yard-paved areas, marked lanes, and piles or containers where different things are left.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a photo ID showing Bronx residency, as that’s commonly requested for neighborhood drop-offs.
- Cover or secure loose items in the truck bed and have helpers ready to speed unloading; fewer trips cinch faster turnaround.
- Avoid prime weekend times if possible-mornings during the week tend to move quicker and reduce queueing.
