Collection: Trash, Recycling, and Yard Materials

The Collection Division is responsible for the management of the collection of residential trash, recycling, and yard materials. This division oversees Baltimore County's 47 private trash/recycling collectors.

Collection Connection

Get connected to Baltimore County's Recycling Program. View and/or download your collection schedule, submit a request or complaint regarding your trash and recycling collection, view our collection program guide, and more.

Yard Materials Collection

If there are Y's on your schedule, yard materials will be collected separately for recycling (not with trash) from April 1 through the last Y day on your schedule each year. In all other cases, yard materials will be collected with trash.

Single Stream Recycling Collection

Baltimore County collects recyclables through the residential collection program. Recycling collection days are denoted by a "R" on your trash and recycling collection schedule. See the full list of accepted materials and how to set your recyclables out.

Troubleshooting

Was your trash, recycling or yard materials not collected? There are many possible reasons why your materials may not have been collected.
