You do not need a whole house of junk. Select the bags, boxes and larger items you actually have. Your combined price is shown online.
You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard and containers
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Furniture and other larger items
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

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.
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.
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.
City of Gloversville Department of Public Works with Twin Bridges and Fulton County Solid Waste
Use the ward bulk trash date
A city household with furniture, a mattress, electronics or other household items too large for the garbage cart.
Cost & conditions
No charge. City of Gloversville residential properties on the ward's scheduled Wednesday, with no separate fee published for the bulk trash collection.
Arrange it
Find the ward on the 2026 schedule, then set the pile on the terrace between noon the day before and 6 a.m. on the collection day with electronics and metal separated into their own group.
There is no bulk pickup in December, January or February, the pile is capped at ten feet by five feet by five feet, black bags are not collected, and tires, concrete, bricks, engines, liquids, paint, motor oil, propane tanks, fluorescent tubes, medical waste and fire extinguishers are refused.

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.

Appliances such as stoves, washers and dryers, furniture, vehicle batteries, propane tanks, fluorescent bulbs and used motor oil, plus freon-containing refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers at the landfill site rather than the transfer stations, off-the-rim tires, mercury thermostats, and electronics through the materials recycling facility.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Gloversville.
How much does bulk junk removal cost in Gloversville?+
A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Can you pick up bags of junk today?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
Do I count every object inside a bag or box?+
No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.
Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?+
Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.
Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?+
Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
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
Will Gloversville take tires at the curb?+
No. Tires are on the city's unacceptable list for bulk trash and are refused at the garbage cart. They go off the rim to the county landfill site with the city permit, where the county publishes a fee without printing the amount, so confirm the current charge on (518) 736-5504 before loading.Official guidance
Where do paint, batteries and used oil go in Gloversville?+
Not in the garbage cart or on the bulk pile, because the city refuses liquids, paint, motor oil, vehicle batteries, propane tanks, fluorescent tubes and medical waste at the curb. The county landfill names vehicle batteries, propane tanks, fluorescent bulbs and used motor oil among the items it accepts, so confirm the item on (518) 736-5504 and take it there with the city permit.Official guidance
Can project debris go out with the trash in Gloversville?+
No. Concrete, bricks, railroad ties, demolition material and dirt are refused on the bulk pile and in the garbage cart, and the city publishes no residential route for them. Call the Department of Public Works at (518) 773-4556 before the pile leaves the property to find out which permitted route will take the load.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.

The permit runs from January 1 through December 31, and proof of residency means a driver's license and vehicle registration.Official guidance
