Troy resuming bulk pickups on April 1

The City of Troy's winter pause on bulk pickup services will be lifted on April 1.

The City defines "bulk" as oversized items. For example, furniture, appliances, carpets, tires, TV sets, and mattresses. Construction or demolition debris is not included. Also, the City does not pick up dirt, rocks, bricks, cinder blocks, sand, concrete, batteries, gas, kerosene, used oil or oil filters.

Residents who need to have discarded items removed may call the Department of Public Works dispatcher  518-270-4579 to schedule an April pickup. No pickups will be made unless they have been scheduled.  (Note: The City says you also can schedule a pickup date online, but we tried that and the link went to a dead page.)

Residents are cautioned not to put items along the roadside until after 6 p.m. the night before pickup is scheduled.

A hauling fee of $25 per pickup is charged for owner-occupied residences. A haul is defined as up to a maximum of two cubic yards of bulk. Pricing is different for renters. See the boxed list below for details.
