As Sukkos comes to an end, many families take down their sukkahs and are left wondering what to do with all the panels, poles, and schach. It’s a familiar post-Yom Tov scene, sukkah parts stacked by the curb, unsure whether they’ll be picked up or left behind.

The Department of Sanitation reminds residents to follow regular bulk collection rules when discarding sukkah materials. Up to six bulk items can be placed out for pickup on your non-recycling, non-compost collection day. Items should go out the night before collection.

Wood should be tied in bundles no more than 2 feet high and 4 feet long, while rugs should be cut to 4-foot widths and tied in bundles no higher than 2 feet.

Proper disposal helps keep streets clear for the transition from Yom Tov back to everyday life.
