Glens Falls Spring Open Pickup Schedule Begins April 10

Written by Staff Report on . Posted in Community, Featured.

The Glens Falls Department of Public Works (DPW) announced that the spring open pick-up schedule for City resident’s yard debris will begin Monday, April 10th, and end Friday, May 26th. DPW will begin pickups in Ward 3, and then proceed through Ward 2, Ward 1, Ward 4, and Ward 5, before looping through the City’s Wards once again.

“Please do not mix topsoil, sod, trash, or heavy materials in with the leaves and other yard trimmings” states Tom Girard, Superintendent of the City’s DPW.  “All residents will need to make sure all brush is separate, piled in one direction.  Please be aware that all grass clippings must be bagged. And, the City does not provide pick-up services for major clearing operations, or to commercial establishments.”

“Once the spring open pickup schedule ends May 26,” continued Girard, “we’ll begin our weekly, seasonal yard debris schedule which is as follows: Ward 3 on Tuesdays, Ward 2 on Wednesdays, Wards 4 and 5 on Thursdays, and Ward 1 on Fridays. All yard debris after May 26 must be bagged.”

“We realize many of our residents still have a lot of branches and twigs in their yards,” said Bill Collins, the Mayor of Glens Falls. “Tom and his crew did a great job cleaning up after the last storm almost a month ago.”

For more information regarding this or any other issue, please reach out via email at communicationsdirector@cityofglensfalls.com, or tdrawbridge@cityofglensfalls.com.  If your issue is urgent or if you’re looking to speak with Mayor Collins regarding a formal comment, please call (518) 920-4884.

Warren County Burn Ban in Effect Through May 14th

Written by Staff Report on . Posted in Community, Featured.

The Warren County Office of Emergency Services is reminding Warren County residents that New York State’s annual spring “burn ban” is in effect until Saturday, May 14th. Spring has been slow to arrive this year thanks to recent snowstorms, but snow has begun to recede and has revealed flammable brush and leaves that can lead to wildfires.

New York State’s ban is put in place each year to lessen the chance of wildfires, and since the annual springtime ban was implemented in 2009, New York State has experienced 46% fewer wildfires annually… But still, New York State DEC Forest Rangers had to extinguish 192 wildfires that burned 1,122 acres in 2020, in addition to the fires that local firefighters battled.

Warren County Fire Coordinator Ralph Bartlett said: “Burning of dead grass, brush, and leaves in the early spring poses a rapid, unexpected fire spread threat due to the combination of lower humidity levels and the higher volume of winds. Rapidly spreading fires can have unwanted consequences by endangering other property, structures, and people.  Please abide by the New York State Burn Ban and keep our firefighters and our communities safe.”

Bartlett urged that those who spot unattended fires call 911 if there appears to be an emergency, or use non-emergency phone numbers to the Warren County Sheriff’s Office (518-743-2500), or NYS DEC (518-897-1303) if the situation does not appear to be an emergency.

New York State regulations ban both open burning and burning in barrels.

Open burning is prohibited year-round in towns with more than 20,000 residents – such as Queensbury – as well as all villages and cities, such as Glens Falls. Smoke contains particulates, known as soot, and gasses, such as carbon monoxide, that are hazardous to health.

When the burn ban is not in effect, residents in towns with a population of under 20,000 may burn tree limbs with attached leaves. The limbs must be less than 6 inches in diameter and 8 feet in length (also referred to as brush). Burning loose leaves or leaf piles is illegal!

New York State has the following exceptions for open burning:

  • Camp fires or any other outdoor fires less than 3 feet in height and 4 feet in length, width or diameter are allowed.
  • Small cooking fires are allowed.
  • Ceremonial or celebratory bonfires are allowed. Disposal of flags or religious items in a small-sized fire is allowed, if it is not otherwise prohibited by law or regulation.
  • Only charcoal or dry, clean, untreated or unpainted wood can be burned.
  • Active fires cannot be left unattended, and must be fully extinguished.

Warren County Office of Emergency Services asks that residents follow New York State DEC guidelines for campfire safety, detailed here. Even when the burn ban is not in effect, it is illegal to burn household garbage and leaves under New York State law, as denoted here.
