Westchester County’s Department of Environmental Facilities (DEF) will be hosting a Household Recycling Day (HRD) Event on Saturday, May 6 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Sprain Ridge Park in Yonkers. The upcoming HRD event in Yonkers will be the second HRD event of 2023. In 2022, DEF hosted six HRD events for over 3,800 County residents and accepted over 387,398 pounds of household waste. HRD events return in 2023 looking to reach even more residents looking to dispose of their household waste. In addition to properly labelled household chemicals, tires, scrap metal, electronics, appliances, and other special wastes found in a typical household, residents can bring documents for shredding and expired or unwanted medications for disposal to the May 6 HRD Event. Generally, the following items are accepted for safe disposal or recycling:
Items that will not be accepted and should not be brought to the Household Recycling Day include non-rechargeable alkaline and carbon zinc batteries (they can be safely discarded in the trash), motor oil, smoke detectors, cell phones, explosives (flares, fireworks, ammunition), construction debris and hypodermic needles. Also, waste from businesses, schools, or other institutions will not be accepted. For more information on what to bring to this event, visit our website or call (914) 813-5425. If you are unable to attend the HRD Event, you can still dispose of your hard-to-get-rid-of household waste by making a convenient appointment for the County’s Household-Material Recycling Facility (H-MRF), 15 Woods Road, Valhalla. The H-MRF is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. by appointment, and accepts the same items that are accepted at the HRD events. For more information about the H-MRF or to make an appointment, visit our website or call (914) 813-5425.
