NYC DSNY Household Special Waste Drop

29-16C 120th St, Queens, NY 11354

(718) 746-2447

This is the NYC DSNY Household Special Waste Drop in Queens, a city-run site where local residents bring household special items that don't go out with regular curbside garbage. Neighbors from nearby blocks and boroughs swing by when they need to drop off a carload or two rather than leave things on the curb. The setup is typical for a municipal drop-off in the city rather than a rural transfer station.

There’s an entrance booth and a yard area-drive up to the booth first, then follow the lanes through the site. Vehicles usually pull into a marked lane or bay to unload; expect to move around a bit between the entrance, the unloading area, and the exit. A scale is common at sites like this, so if the site charges by weight you may stop again on the way out. The yard is open and paved, with trucks and containers visible; weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest.

Before You Go

  • Bring help to lift heavy or awkward items and have them ready to hand down from the vehicle-there are no luggage-cart services.
  • Keep items contained and covered in the truck or trunk so nothing shifts or drops while waiting in line.
  • Try a weekday morning if possible; lines and wait times are noticeably longer on weekend afternoons and around seasonal cleanups.
