The Collection Division is responsible for the management of the collection of residential trash, recycling, and yard materials. This division oversees Baltimore County's 48 private trash/recycling collectors.
Baltimore County is in the process of distributing new trash and recycling collection schedules to residents. If your trash/recycling collection schedule is about to expire, you do not need to request a new schedule. A new schedule will be automatically mailed to you. Residents can download the County's trash/recycling information guide and request a copy of their current trash/recycling collection schedule.
Baltimore County collects yard materials from most households April through mid-December. The collection of yard materials is denoted by a "Y" on your trash and recycling collection schedule.
Baltimore County collects paper and bottles & cans through the curbside collection program. This is denoted by either a "P" or a "B" on your trash and recycling collection schedule.
Was your trash, recycling or yard materials not collected? There are many possible reasons why your materials may not have been collected.
