TOWSON, MD —  On Monday, May 30, trash, single stream recyclables and yard materials will not be collected in Baltimore County, and all drop-off centers will be closed.


This holiday marks the first use of the County’s new “slide” schedule for make-up collection days. All trash, recycling and yard material curbside collections scheduled on or after Monday, May 30, will shift and occur one day later that week:

  • Monday collections shift to Tuesday
  • Tuesday collections shift to Wednesday
  • Wednesday collections shift to Thursday
  • Thursday collections shift to Friday
  • Friday collections shift to Saturday

For addresses on a twice-per-week trash schedule, the first trash collection during the holiday week will occur one day later than normal (per the rules above), and the second trash collection will not occur.
