Regal Garbage Dump is the local dump in Queens that people from the neighborhood drop residential loads at. It’s the kind of place the community uses when curbside pickup won’t do or when larger cleanouts happen. Expect a working, no-frills spot rather than anything fancy.
Pull up to an entrance where there’s typically a booth or gate area to check in before driving in. Trucks and cars usually line up, especially on weekends, and the site looks like a standard municipal dump with piles, compactors, and trailers. There’s often a scale involved for larger loads, so there can be a short wait to be weighed on the way in or out. Recycling and donation drop-offs, if available, tend to be off to one side rather than mixed in with general disposal.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring secure tarps or straps for loose items; wind and traffic can make loose loads messy between home and the tip area.
- Arrive midweek or early if possible to avoid the weekend backup that happens during seasonal cleanups.
- Have paperwork or ID handy in the car near the roll-down window - checking in is quicker when it’s easy to hand over what’s needed.
