I too found Yonkers site confusing at first (and still do in many cases) but

  1. You don’t live in bronxville and pay yonkers taxes. You live in Yonkers and have a bronxville postal address. the bronxville post office services your USPS mail delivery. You’re zoned to Yonker’s school system. You vote for the mayor of Yonkers not bronxville.

I used to live nearby. Use the address to your advantage like everyone in these areas do but be real with your self. The great thing is that that part of Yonkers is an amazing place to live. It’s awesome. Those who say otherwise have shit that don’t stink or are just plain ignorant. I love the place and been really happy living in Yonkers.

  1. Get the RecycleCoach app and select your zip code. That’s the only way I know when garbage/recycle is being collected. You’re not going to find a better source. Here is the 2022 Yonkers recycle guide and the A-Z guide.

Garbage bins are limited to 35/40 gallons. It’s hard to find that at HomeDepot and Lowe’s so just get what they have. Sanitation has been cool about 45 gallon bins. Go to their refuse page for other resources and don’t be afraid to call their number to find out more. They’re pretty helpful.

  1. There is no separate bill for trash pickup. If you want to take anything to the dumpster/recycling center, it’s free but you can’t go in a commercial vehicle (like uhaul). Friday is bulk trash day and you call to schedule a pickup of large appliances.

Happy to help with any other Yonkers/ Westchester related questions and recommendations.
