Glens Falls Spring Open Pickup Schedule Begins April 10

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.”
