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.

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.
