Buildings with 1 to 9 residential units will be required to use NYC Bins for their trash starting in June 2026, yet another step in the city’s plan to remove the mountains of black bags from our sidewalks, reclaim public space and improve quality of life.
DSNY announced that all nine sizes and colors of official NYC Bins are now available at NYC Home Depot locations, for in-store pickup via homedepot.com/NYCBins, or for delivery via Instacart, DoorDash or Uber Eats.
The official bin is only required for trash, however, there are bins available for trash/paper, metal/glass/plastic, and for compost which are optional.
Some New Yorkers had previously ordered bins online but have not yet received delivery of their bins; all outstanding online delivery orders are ongoing and are targeted for completion by late March. Those customers will receive an email notification when the bins are scheduled for delivery.
Owners of one- and two-family homes who receive the STAR property tax benefit are eligible for an NYC Trash Bin reimbursement from the NYC Department of Finance.
If you purchase a bin from Home Depot or a delivery partner (DoorDash, Instacart, Uber Eats), you will need to apply for the reimbursement.
If you are eligible and have already purchased a bin online through the manufacturer (Otto), the NYC Department of Finance will automatically send you a check.
