Junk removal in Hollis

Hollis

Hollis sits in southeast Queens between Jamaica and Queens Village, a quiet residential pocket built up as one of the borough's early railroad suburbs around the LIRR Hollis station on the Hempstead Branch. Unlike the apartment-heavy blocks closer to Downtown Jamaica, most of Hollis is two- and three-story housing — detached and semi-detached single-family homes, Capes, Tudors and brick Colonials, plus small multi-family houses, many with their own driveways and modest backyards. That building stock shapes the junk removal here: it's usually basement, garage, attic and yard cleanouts on side streets like 197th, 203rd or Murdock Avenue, not freight-elevator high-rise jobs.

Access is generally easier than in dense Manhattan or Long Island City — crews can often pull a truck into a driveway or park curbside on the residential blocks south of Hillside Avenue. The exceptions are the busy commercial corridors: Jamaica Avenue (under the elevated tracks), Hillside Avenue, and Hollis Avenue near the Run-DMC JMJ Way corner at 205th Street, where parking is tight and double-parking draws tickets.

Hollis junk-removal FAQ

Do I need a permit to park a junk truck on my Hollis block?
On most residential streets south of Hillside Avenue — places like 197th Street, 203rd Street or Woodhull Avenue — no permit is needed; crews park curbside or pull into your driveway. It's the commercial stretches of Jamaica Avenue under the J/Z elevated, Hillside Avenue and Hollis Avenue near the Run-DMC JMJ Way corner where parking is metered and tight, so loading there takes more coordination.
When is DSNY bulk trash pickup in Hollis, and what's the catch?
Hollis is in Queens Sanitation District 12 (shared with Jamaica and St. Albans). DSNY collects most large bulk items for free on your regular trash-collection day, but you must request appliances with refrigerant (fridges, ACs, freezers) separately for a CFC tag, and mattresses must be bagged. Look up your exact day and rules by address on the DSNY/311 collection-schedule tool.
Where can I donate usable furniture or clothing from a Hollis cleanout?
Rather than tossing good items, you can take clothing, housewares and small furniture to a Salvation Army donation center serving the Jamaica/Hollis area (ZIP 11423/11432), which also offers scheduled pickups for larger pieces. Confirm current hours and what they accept before you load up, since donation centers turn away damaged or oversized items.
