JUNK REMOVAL IN QUEENS:
WHAT YOU CAN (AND
CAN'T) THROW AWAY

New York City has more rules about what you can and can't dispose of than most people realize. Before you haul that old refrigerator to the curb or pile up renovation debris, here's what you need to know about junk removal in Queens.

What We Can Remove

• Furniture: sofas, mattresses, bed frames, tables, chairs, dressers
• Appliances: refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens

Items That Require Special Handling in NYC

New York City has specific regulations around certain types of waste. These items cannot simply be placed at the curb or dropped at a landfill:

• Hazardous materials: paint, chemicals, cleaning solvents, pesticides
• Propane tanks and gas cylinders
• Asbestos-containing materials (common in pre-1980 buildings)
• Medical waste and sharps
• Large quantities of electronics (NYC has an e-waste program)

NYC Electronic Waste (E-Waste) Rules

New York City bans the disposal of most electronic devices in regular trash. TVs, computers, and other electronics must be recycled through NYC's e-waste program or accepted retailers. The Moving Genie can remove your electronics and ensure they're disposed of properly.
