Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an appointment to use the DSNY Special Waste Drop-Off at 74 Pike Slip?

No appointment is required. The site operates on a walk-in basis Tuesday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Bring proof of NYC residency (a NYS driver's license or utility bill) as it may be requested.

Can I bring my old TV or laptop to 74 Pike Slip?

Yes—electronics (e-waste) are accepted at this site free of charge for NYC residents. There are per-visit quantity limits on some materials (e.g., tires: up to 4; paint: up to 5 gallons), but general e-waste does not have a stated quantity cap on the DSNY program page.

What do I need to do with batteries before bringing them to the drop-off?

DSNY requires that all battery terminals be individually covered with clear tape or placed in separate small bags before arrival to prevent short-circuit fires during handling. Loose batteries with bare terminals will not be accepted.
