Francis Scott Key Bridge Incident Updates

Baltimore County operates three facilities where County residents can take residential trash and recyclables. Our customer service staff at 410-887-2000 handles phone calls for all three facilities. Please note that most GPS devices and smart phone apps are able to provide turn-by-turn directions to the facility addresses listed below.

Disposal Commercial Accounts

Effective July 1, the Bureau of Solid Waste Management will require commercial haulers to have a Solid Waste Collection Permit and a commercial account with Baltimore County in order to use all three of Baltimore County's drop-off facilities.

Disposal Rules and Guidance For Residents

In most cases, Baltimore County residents may take material to residential drop-off facilities free of charge, with up to six visits per year. In some situations—depending on the type of material, number of loads, type of vehicle and other factors—a refuse disposal authorization is required for free disposal; otherwise, a prorated fee of $100 per ton will be charged. Effective July 1, the County will update our prorated disposal fee to $125.
