Curbside Collection Services
Beginning June 23rd, due to the likelihood of air temperature and humidity creating a heat index above 90 degrees Fahrenheit during the months of June, July, and August, curbside collection services will begin at 5:00 am to help ensure compliance with Maryland's new Heat Stress Standard. Starting collections at 5:00 am is an hour earlier than the usual 6:00 am start time.
Households receiving trash, recycling and yard waste collections should have their containers at the curb prior to 5:00 am during the months of June, July and August.
Curbside Collection Delays
Some areas in the County are currently experiencing yard waste collection delays. Affected areas will continue to have trash and recycling collected on their normal collection day, and yard waste will be collected within two days. Please leave yard waste at the curbside until it is collected. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconveniences this may cause.
