Cleaning in Brooklyn
How should I plan a home clean in Brooklyn?
For cleaning in Brooklyn, 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.
Split cleaning from a clear-out
A kitchen clean and a garage clear-out need different plans. Send photos of the space. Set aside old paint and spray cans before the visit. Ask whether the job covers surfaces, loose items, or both.
Know the local drop-off site
As of 2026-10-19, the city lists a special-waste site in Greenpoint. The site address is 459 North Henry Street, near 530 Kingsland Avenue. Enter off Kingsland Avenue, north of Greenpoint Avenue. See the city site guide.
As of 2026-10-19, the guide lists paint and aerosols 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.
