Gloversville OKs privatizing garbage collection | The Daily Gazette SECTIONS GLOVERSVILLE — The Common Council on Tuesday voted 5-2 to approve a one-year contract to hire a private garbage hauler to collect the city’s residential garbage starting May 1. The city is hiring Twin Bridges Waste and Recycling, out of Clifton Park, to provide weekly garbage collection at single family, two-family and three-family homes. The private hauler will replace the weekly garbage pickup currently performed by the city’s Department of Public Works. Four-unit or more houses/apartment buildings will not receive garbage pickup from Twin Bridges. Buildings with four or more units in Gloversville are currently required to pay for their own private garbage collection, and city officials said that will not change.
