Cleaning in the Bronx
How should I plan a home clean in the Bronx?
For cleaning in the Bronx, list the rooms, surfaces, and tasks you need. Tell the pro about pets and any supplies you want used. Keep special waste out of the routine cleaning plan. Local drop-off rules can help with a clear-out. HandyFox availability depends on the address and a pro who can take the job.
Sort the storage area first
If you are clearing a closet or storage room, separate old batteries and bulbs from dust and loose trash. Show the cleaner what you want kept. Agree on who will handle items that need a special drop-off.
Know the local drop-off site
As of 2026-10-19, the city lists a special-waste site in Hunts Point. The site is at Farragut Street and the East River, next to the Fulton Fish Market. Enter on Farragut Street, off Food Center Drive. See the city site guide.
As of 2026-10-19, the guide lists batteries and fluorescent bulbs as accepted waste. Sites open Tuesday through Saturday, 9 AM to 3 PM. They close on legal holidays and in severe weather. Check the guide before a trip.
Do not assume the cleaner can use the site
As of 2026-10-19, these city sites are for NYC residents only. They do not admit businesses or commercial vehicles. You may need proof that you live in NYC. Plan your own drop-off rather than assuming it is part of a paid clean.
