The Department of Public Works would like to remind City residents that the 2019 Spring open pick-up period for yard debris will be as follows:

SPRING OPEN PICK-UP BEGINS
APRIL 8

SPRING OPEN PICK-UP ENDS 
MAY 31

BAGS ONLY
JUNE 1 TO OCTOBER 1

Please note that the OPEN PICK UP schedule will be strictly enforced. After the June 1st deadline, all yard debris must be placed in biodegradable bags, available at any of the Glens Falls Stewarts or other area stores. We will start in Ward 3, then Ward 2, Ward 1, Ward 4 and then Ward 5. Once a street has been cleared, no other crews will be sent back until the Fall open pick-up period. 

Please do not mix topsoil, sod, trash, or heavy materials in with the leaves, grass and other yard trimmings. Please make sure all brush is separate and not placed with the grass clippings and yard waste. Please be aware that the City does not provide pick-up services for major clearing operations or to commercial establishments.
