Town of Bethlehem, NY
Dumpster rental in Bethlehem and Delmar
Delmar, Slingerlands, Glenmont and the rest of Bethlehem share one set of town rules. The Highway Department runs strong yard waste and leaf programs, but it doesn't pick up trash, so anything bigger than a hauler's cart needs a plan.
Booking hours: Monday to Saturday 8 to 8, Sunday 8 to 1 (Eastern time)
Leaf season runs long
Loose-leaf vacuum trucks start in mid-October and work the town zone by zone, sometimes into December (Highway FAQ). Leaves go on the lawn edge, not in the road.
If a container sits at the curb during those weeks, keep it clear of your leaf pile so the trucks can reach it.
What the town picks up, and what it won't
- Bagged yard wastePaper bags or reusable containers, up to 32 gallons and 50 lb each.
- BranchesUp to 8 inches around and 4 feet long, under 50 lb, stacked neatly at the curb.
- Contractor brushNot collected. Brush or trees cut by a private contractor are excluded on the town's yard waste page.
- Household trash and bulkNot collected by the town. Use your hauler or a container.
Tree work and landscaping
Because the town leaves contractor brush behind, a tree removal or a big landscaping job needs its own disposal. Many tree services chip and haul their own; if yours doesn't, a container fills that gap.
Smaller amounts can go to the town's compost facility; the Highway Department encourages people who can haul their own yard debris to take it there.
Book a roll-off for your Albany address
Pick up the phone with three things in mind: the debris, the drop spot and your dates. A locally run, independent roll-off company picks up, recommends a container and quotes a drop-off day and a total.
This number is for rentals, not trash pickup. Albany's regular trash and recycling are handled by the city's Department of General Services.
