°µÍøTV

The °µÍøTV Bin is the official bin for properties with 1-9 residential units (including single-family homes to 9-unit apartment buildings).

All °µÍøTV Bins:

• Are available at °µÍøTV Home Depot stores.
• Have the official Department of Sanitation logo. You do not need to order a decal for the bin. 
• Include a space for property owners to write their addresses for easy identification.

These bins are only for residential properties, not for businesses.

Purchase Official °µÍøTV Bins

The official °µÍøTV Trash Bins are available for pick-up at all °µÍøTV Home Depot stores. Optional °µÍøTV Recycling and Compost Bins are currently only available at select Home Depot stores.

You can also order your official °µÍøTV Bins online and have them delivered directly to you using one of Home Depot's on-demand delivery partners:

• DoorDash

• Uber Eats

Please note: the availability of select bins is determined by your location and the inventory of bins at Home Depot stores near you. If the bin you are looking for is out of stock, check again later.

DSNY is no longer providing free brown compost bins for residents receiving composting services for the first time.

DSNY does not provide free replacement compost bins.

Please note that you can use any labeled bin (55 gallons or less) with a secure lid for compost disposal. You can line your bin with a clear plastic, paper, or compostable bag to help keep it clean. Tie the bag closed before putting the bin on the curb for collection.

To order a free composting bin decal, visit the Department of Sanitation Signs and Decals page.

Kitchen Compost Containers 

You can use any bag or container to collect food scraps, food-soiled paper, and plant waste within your home. You can store food scraps in the freezer to prevent odors.

Once the bag or container is full, empty the scraps from your home into your building's compost bin. 

Kitchen Container Giveaways

DSNY will host community events to educate the public about curbside composting and give away kitchen containers for food scraps. 

No events are scheduled at this time. Check back regularly for updates.

Submit Feedback

DSNY distributed free compost bins in 2024 for a limited time only.

You can submit feedback about DSNY compost bins, including if you signed up to get a free compost bin last year and did not receive it. 

DSNY does not replace lost or stolen compost bins.
