City collection Household items such as a couch, chair or table come off the terrace on the ward bulk date rather than going in the garbage cart, because the garbage rules refuse furniture. No charge. City of Gloversville residential properties on the ward's scheduled bulk date, with no separate fee published for the household item collection.
City collection A mattress is a household item, so it goes out with the bulk pile on the ward date and not in the cart, and no mattress fee is published. No charge. City of Gloversville residential properties on the ward's bulk trash date, with no separate mattress charge published by the city.
City collection A unit holding refrigerant goes to the county landfill site only, not to the transfer stations, with the doors removed, and the published charge for county residents is not consistent between the two bodies. The city's landfill sheet says there is no disposal charge for a freon-containing unit from a Fulton County resident while the county's own landfill page lists Freon Units at the landfill transfer station with fees applying, so confirm the current charge with Fulton County Solid Waste at (518) 736-5504 before the trip. Freon units are taken at the landfill site on Mud Road rather than at the county's other transfer stations, and fridge and freezer doors should be removed.
City collection Bulk household trash is collected on a Wednesday rotation, one ward a week, with the pile inside a ten foot by five foot by five foot limit and nothing scheduled in December, January or February. No charge. City of Gloversville residential properties on the ward's scheduled bulk date. The city publishes no separate fee for the bulk trash collection.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Gloversville splits household waste across three services. The Department of Public Works runs the ward bulk trash collection and the bagged yard waste, brush and fall leaf collections, household garbage is picked up under the Twin Bridges contract in a city cart, and the county-wide recycling program belongs to the Fulton County Department of Solid Waste rather than to the city. Bulk trash follows a ward rotation on Wednesdays with nothing scheduled in December, January or February, while yard waste and brush follow the household's garbage day and leaves get their own November collection. Everything the curbside rules refuse, from appliances and freon units to tires, batteries, propane tanks and used oil, goes to the county landfill site on Mud Road, which Gloversville residents enter with an annual permit bought from the City Clerk.
Bulk household trash is collected on a Wednesday rotation, one ward a week, with the pile inside a ten foot by five foot by five foot limit and nothing scheduled in December, January or February.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Gloversville residential properties on the ward's scheduled bulk date. The city publishes no separate fee for the bulk trash collection.
When & how
Check the ward table before setting anything out, because the rotation gives each ward one Wednesday and skips December, January and February. Items go to the terrace no earlier than noon the day before and no later than 6 a.m. on the collection day.
Get it ready
Keep the pile inside ten feet long, five feet wide and five feet high, separate electronics and metal from the rest of the load because a different truck collects them, and use no black plastic bags because the city will not collect bulk trash set out in them.
Household items such as a couch, chair or table come off the terrace on the ward bulk date rather than going in the garbage cart, because the garbage rules refuse furniture.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Gloversville residential properties on the ward's scheduled bulk date, with no separate fee published for the household item collection.
When & how
Set the furniture out with the rest of the bulk pile on the ward date, between noon the day before and 6 a.m. on the collection day, and keep it inside the pile's size limit.
Get it ready
Mark or keep furniture out of the garbage cart, because the Twin Bridges rules refuse furniture at the cart, and keep upholstered pieces dry and clear of the terrace edge so the crew can lift them.
A mattress is a household item, so it goes out with the bulk pile on the ward date and not in the cart, and no mattress fee is published.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Gloversville residential properties on the ward's bulk trash date, with no separate mattress charge published by the city.
When & how
Put the mattress on the terrace with the rest of the bulk pile between noon the day before and 6 a.m. on the ward collection day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress out of the garbage cart, keep it dry so the crew can handle it, and leave the frame and bedding for the same pile rather than mixing them into the cart.
Appliances are refused at the garbage cart, are not named on the city's bulk list, and are named by the county landfill as items that are acceptable there, so the route is a trip with the city permit.
City cost & eligibility
No disposal price is published for an appliance. The city bulk guidelines do not name appliances among the accepted curbside items and the Twin Bridges rules refuse them at the cart, while the county landfill names appliances such as stoves, washers and dryers among the items it takes. A Gloversville household reaches the landfill site with the city permit and should confirm the unit and any charge with Fulton County Solid Waste at (518) 736-5501 before loading.
When & how
Plan the landfill trip rather than a curbside set out: buy or renew the city landfill permit through the City Clerk and take the appliance to the county site on Mud Road during scale hours.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance, secure or remove any door that could trap a child, and keep it out of the garbage cart and off the bulk pile, because both routes refuse appliances.
A unit holding refrigerant goes to the county landfill site only, not to the transfer stations, with the doors removed, and the published charge for county residents is not consistent between the two bodies.
City cost & eligibility
The city's landfill sheet says there is no disposal charge for a freon-containing unit from a Fulton County resident while the county's own landfill page lists Freon Units at the landfill transfer station with fees applying, so confirm the current charge with Fulton County Solid Waste at (518) 736-5504 before the trip. Freon units are taken at the landfill site on Mud Road rather than at the county's other transfer stations, and fridge and freezer doors should be removed.
When & how
Take the unit to the county landfill site on Mud Road during scale hours with the city permit, and never leave a unit holding refrigerant on a curbside bulk pile.
Get it ready
Remove the refrigerator or freezer doors before the unit is moved, empty the unit of food and loose parts, and tell the attendant at the gate that the load holds refrigerant so it goes to the right spot.
Electronics come off the bulk pile in a separate load, because the city asks that electronics and metal be kept apart from the rest of the bulk items so a separate truck can take them.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Gloversville residential bulk collections, with electronics separated from the rest of the pile and collected by a separate truck and no separate fee published; the county materials recycling facility also handles electronics for county residents.
When & how
Put the devices out with the bulk pile on the ward date and keep them in their own group so the separate truck can find them, and keep them out of the garbage cart, where the Twin Bridges rules refuse televisions, monitors and computers.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from computers and phones before they leave the house, keep power supplies and cords with the device, and do not put electronics in the garbage cart or the recycling stream.
Tires are on the city's unacceptable list for bulk trash, so they go off the rim to the county landfill site, where the county publishes a fee without an amount.
City cost & eligibility
Tires are refused in the bulk pile and at the garbage cart, and off-the-rim tires are accepted at the county landfill site rather than at the transfer stations. The city describes a nominal disposal fee and the county lists tires with fees applying, so confirm the current per tire charge with Fulton County Solid Waste at (518) 736-5504 before loading.
When & how
Take the tires off the rims to the county landfill site on Mud Road during scale hours with the city permit, and keep them off any curbside pile.
Get it ready
Remove tires from rims and wheels before the trip, keep them out of the bulk pile and the garbage cart, and call ahead with the count so the gate can price the load.
Liquids, paint, motor oil, vehicle batteries, propane tanks, fluorescent tubes, fire extinguishers and medical waste are refused at the curb, and the county landfill names several of them among the items it takes.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no disposal price for these items. Vehicle batteries, propane tanks, fluorescent bulbs and used motor oil are the ones the county names as accepted at the landfill site, while paint, liquids, motor oil and medical waste are refused at the curb and are not on that list. Confirm the item and any charge with Fulton County Solid Waste at (518) 736-5504 before it leaves the house, because a liquid left in a bulk pile is a refusal and a hazard for the crew.
When & how
Keep the material out of the bulk pile and the garbage cart and arrange the landfill trip during scale hours with the city permit, after confirming the item by phone.
Get it ready
Keep every container closed and labeled, keep liquids upright so nothing can leak on the way, and never mix chemicals together or place them in a bag for curbside collection.
Concrete, bricks, engines, railroad ties and demolition material are refused at both the bulk pickup and the garbage cart, and the city publishes no residential route for them.
City cost & eligibility
No fee and no city route are published for concrete, bricks or demolition material. The bulk guidelines and the garbage rules both refuse them, and the county landfill sheet does not name construction material among the items it takes, so call the Department of Public Works at (518) 773-4556 before a project pile leaves the property and ask which permitted hauler or site handles it.
When & how
Hold the material until Public Works answers, then use whatever route they confirm rather than setting a pile out for the ward bulk date.
Get it ready
Keep concrete, bricks, dirt and demolition material out of the bulk pile and out of the garbage cart, and keep any liquid, oil or paint out of the load so it does not become a refusal at the gate.
Bagged yard waste and tied brush are collected on dates set by the household's garbage day, and loose leaves are never collected, so leaves have to be in paper bags all season and again during the November leaf program.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Gloversville residential properties. The city publishes no separate fee for the bagged yard waste, brush or fall leaf collections, and the brush and leaf drop-off site is free for residential use.
When & how
Put the material out on the yard waste date that matches the household's garbage day, because the city states that any yard waste or brush set out after your garbage day during those dates will not be collected. Brush collection ends after October 23 and the fall leaf program runs from November 2 through November 30, with bagged leaves out on the terrace or just before the curb.
Get it ready
Use paper yard waste bags only, and never plastic bags or black bags, because the city collects no leaves or yard waste in plastic and no loose leaves at all. Tie loose brush into bundles with limbs no thicker than 4 inches and no longer than 6 feet, keep the cut brush volume inside ten feet by five feet by five feet, and leave sticks, rocks and trash out of a leaf bag so the load stays clean.
Bulk trash is collected on Wednesdays on a rotating ward schedule, one ward a week, with no bulk pickups in December, January or February. Items go to the terrace no earlier than noon the day before and no later than 6 a.m. on the collection day, inside a pile no longer than ten feet, no wider than five feet and no taller than five feet, and black bags are not collected at all.
Household trash, recyclables, brush and yard waste, tires, vehicle batteries, propane tanks, fluorescent tubes, motor oil, liquids and paint, concrete, bricks, engines, large pianos, medical waste and fire extinguishers are all refused on the bulk pile and most of them are refused at the garbage cart too. Electronics and metal ride the bulk date but have to be separated into their own group, because a different truck collects them.
Garbage goes in the cart, bagged in white or clear bags
The Twin Bridges garbage route wants carts out by 5:30 a.m. on the collection day and within six feet of the curb or roadway edge so the automated arm can reach them, with household trash in white or clear bags inside the cart. Nothing outside the cart is collected, and appliances, furniture, electronics, tires, concrete, bricks, demolition material and lawn debris are refused at the cart.
Yard waste and brush go out on the date that matches the household's garbage collection day, and material set out after that day is not collected. Leaves and yard waste go in paper yard waste bags only, loose leaves are never collected, plastic bags are refused, and loose brush has to be tied into bundles with limbs no thicker than 4 inches and no longer than 6 feet. Brush collection ends after October 23, and the fall leaf program runs from November 2 through November 30.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

A city household with leaves to clear in November.
Cost & conditions
No charge. City of Gloversville residential properties during the fall leaf program, with no separate fee published for the bagged leaf collection.

City of Gloversville Department of Public Works with Twin Bridges and Fulton County Solid Waste
Take refused items to the county landfill with a city permit
A city household with an appliance, a freon unit, off-the-rim tires, vehicle batteries, propane tanks, fluorescent bulbs or used motor oil.
Cost & conditions
From $25 for annual Fulton County landfill permit for Gloversville City residents, priced lower for a permit bought on or after September 1 and higher earlier in the year, with a service fee added when the permit is paid by credit card over the phone. Gloversville City residents who prove residency with a driver's license and vehicle registration and buy the Mud Road transfer station permit through the City Clerk's office; the permit runs January 1 through December 31, and the county names appliances, furniture, vehicle batteries, propane tanks, fluorescent bulbs and used motor oil among the items accepted there.
Arrange it
Buy or renew the permit through the City Clerk at 3 Frontage Road, then take the load to the county site on Mud Road during scale hours and follow the attendant's direction at the gate.
Freon units and off-the-rim tires are accepted at the landfill site rather than the transfer stations, freon doors come off first, and the county lists freon units and tires with fees applying, so confirm the item and the charge on (518) 736-5504 before the trip.
A business, a landlord or a household with concrete, bricks, dirt, demolition material or a load the city and county routes do not cover.
Cost & conditions
No private hauling rate is published, and the city routes are residential rather than by contract, so the price depends on the hauler, the material and the volume. Ask for a quote before the pile is set out and confirm where the load is going, because some material still has to reach a permitted site.
Arrange it
Arrange the pickup with a licensed hauler and keep the material off the terrace until the hauler arrives, so nothing is left for the city crew to find.
A private hauler does not change the city's prohibitions on liquids, hazardous waste, tires and project debris at the curb, and landfill loads still have to enter through the county gate.
Self hauling in Gloversville is a county trip rather than a city one. Appliances, freon-containing units, off-the-rim tires, vehicle batteries, propane tanks, fluorescent bulbs and used motor oil all go to the Fulton County landfill site on Mud Road in Johnstown, and a Gloversville household enters with the Mud Road permit bought through the City Clerk after proving residency with a driver's license and vehicle registration. Brush and leaves have a closer option, because the city keeps a residential drop-off with containers for leaves, grass and brush and a compost pile at the Transit facility lot on West Fulton Street, entered from West Pine Street. Nothing the county takes belongs on a curbside pile or in the garbage cart.

847 Mud Road, Johnstown, NY 12095

Gloversville City residents enter with the Mud Road transfer station permit and proof of residency by driver's license and vehicle registration, and the county's other transfer stations do not take freon units or tires, which are handled at this Mud Road site. Freon doors should be removed before the unit arrives, and the county lists freon units and tires with fees applying.
Landfill scale Monday to Friday 7:15 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Saturday 7:15 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., with the department office open Monday to Friday 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Main office (518) 736-5501 and recycling information (518) 736-5504.

Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.
How much does pickup cost?+
Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.
Can I book a pickup for today?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.
Do my items need to be outside when I book?+
You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.
When is bulk trash collected in Gloversville?+
Bulk trash runs on Wednesdays on a rotating ward schedule, with one ward collected each week, and there are no scheduled bulk pickups in December, January or February. The pile goes to the terrace no earlier than noon the day before and no later than 6 a.m. on the ward's date, inside a limit of ten feet by five feet by five feet.Official guidance
Will Gloversville take a couch at the curb?+
Yes, on the ward bulk trash date rather than in the garbage cart, because the garbage rules refuse furniture. The pile goes out between noon the day before and 6 a.m. on the collection day and stays inside the ten foot by five foot by five foot limit, with electronics and metal kept separate.Official guidance
Where does a mattress go in Gloversville?+
A mattress is a household item, so it belongs with the bulk pile on the ward's scheduled date instead of in the garbage cart. It goes out between noon the day before and 6 a.m. on the collection day, inside the pile's ten foot by five foot by five foot limit, and the city publishes no separate mattress fee.Official guidance
How does an appliance leave a Gloversville address?+
Not at the garbage cart and not on the bulk pile, because the garbage rules refuse appliances and the city bulk list does not name them. The county landfill names appliances such as stoves, washers and dryers among the items it accepts, and a Gloversville household enters that site with the city landfill permit bought through the City Clerk.Official guidance
What has to happen before an old refrigerator leaves a Gloversville home?+
It has to go to the county landfill site rather than the curb, because the city refuses freon units on the bulk pile and the transfer stations do not take them. Remove the doors, and confirm the current charge with Fulton County Solid Waste on (518) 736-5504 first, because the city sheet and the county page describe the freon charge differently.Official guidance
Where do televisions and computers go in Gloversville?+
They go out with the bulk pile but in their own group, because the city asks residents to separate electronics and metal from the rest of the bulk items so a separate truck can collect them. They are refused in the garbage cart, and the county materials recycling facility also handles electronics for county residents.Official guidance
Who runs the different collections in Gloversville?+
The Department of Public Works runs the ward bulk trash collection and the yard waste, brush and fall leaf collections, and household garbage goes out under the Twin Bridges contract in a city cart. Recycling is county-wide rather than a city route, because the Fulton County Department of Solid Waste runs the recycling program and answers on (518) 736-5504.Official guidance
Which ward date is my bulk trash pickup?+
Bulk trash runs on Wednesdays on a rotating ward schedule with one ward collected each week: Ward 1 on 3/4, 4/15, 5/27, 7/8, 8/19 and 9/30; Ward 2 on 3/11, 4/22, 6/3, 7/15, 8/26 and 10/7; Ward 3 on 3/18, 4/29, 6/10, 7/22, 9/2 and 10/14; Ward 4 on 3/25, 5/6, 6/17, 7/29, 9/9 and 10/21; Ward 5 on 4/1, 5/13, 6/24, 8/5, 9/16 and 10/28; and Ward 6 on 4/8, 5/20, 7/1, 8/12, 9/23 and 11/4. Nothing is scheduled in December, January or February.Official guidance
How does a Gloversville household get a landfill permit?+
The Mud Road permit is for Gloversville City residents and is bought through the City Clerk's office at 3 Frontage Road, in person with a license and the vehicle registration, by phone with a credit card, by the drop box outside City Hall, or by mail with a check or money order. The permit runs from January 1 through December 31, and proof of residency means a driver's license and vehicle registration.Official guidance
When does Gloversville collect bagged leaves?+
The fall leaf collection runs from November 2 through November 30, and leaves go in paper yard waste or lawn and leaf bags on the terrace or just before the curb. Loose leaves are never collected in any season, plastic bags are refused, and residents are asked to keep cars off the street while crews work from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.Official guidance
