Albany rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Albany, putting any encroachment or obstruction on a street, sidewalk or city right-of-way requires a written application to, and written permission from, the city manager first.
In Albany, placing anything on a street, alley, sidewalk or city right-of-way, including any obstruction, requires written permission from the city manager, and an unpermitted item must be removed within 24 hours of written notice. Vehicles may not be parked between the curb and the property line, and a vehicle may not stop on a street in a way that blocks traffic except briefly to load or unload passengers. For move-out leftovers, flattened boxes go out with weekly garbage, and the city picks up discarded furniture and household appliances on request.
