About this site
For what Hunts Point refuses, the Bronx SAFE Disposal event is Saturday, October 24, 2026, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., in the Orchard Beach parking lot; cars follow the park drive to the end. SAFE events take household chemicals, gasoline, fire extinguishers, medications and sharps.
Rules at every DSNY drop-off
All five Special Waste Drop-Off sites work the same way: you unload yourself with DSNY staff on hand, the sites are for New York City residents only, proof of residency may be requested, and businesses and commercial vehicles are turned away. The accepted list and per-visit limits are the same everywhere; see the NYC Department of Sanitation listing.
