Sanitation
Weekly Trash and Recycling Pickup
Trash — Every Tuesday
Recycling — Every Thursday
​​
In 2016 the Citywide Municipal Trash Can Program delivered durable, wheeled trash cans, equipped with attached, tight-fitting lids to every household. They remain the property of the City, assigned to the specific address. Residents are not charged for the cans, but are expected to place their trash into bags before putting the trash in the cans.
​
If your can is lost, stolen or damaged, notify 311 to report the problem and begin the City’s process of replacing or repairing it. Property owners are allowed one free replacement can (or two free repairs) but must pay for subsequent replacements. Residents will not have to cover the cost of repairing/replacing cans due to normal wear and tear.
​
Call 311 or go to 311 Online to report issues or problems like illegal dumping, no trash collection or no recycling collection.
​
How to Recycle
1. Use any container except plastic bags: paper bags, cardboard boxes, old baskets, trash cans (marked “recycling”) or recycling cans provided by the City.
​
2. Fill your container with any of the approved recycling materials: paper, cans, cardboard bottles, etc.
​
3. Put out all of the recycling that you want curbside or take it to one of DPW Citizens' Convenience Drop-Off Centers. If your collection day falls on a holiday, please hold your recycling items until the makeup collection day which will most often be the following Saturday. Unsure of your recycling day? View recycling map.
Items like hard plastics, scrap metal, household hazardous waste, and electronics can be recycled in Baltimore City, just not with your other curbside recycling. They must be taken to one of DPW Citizens' Convenience Drop-Off Centers. Other items like leaves can only be recycled curbside at certain times of the year.
Baltimore City Residents must show proof of city residency, e.g. a driver's license, telephone bill, or tax bill before they can drop off any item at the Drop-Off Center.
​​​
Baltimore recycling collection is single-stream, meaning that all recyclables go in one container. Most common recyclables are accepted, but no plastic bags or styrofoam should be included in your bin. See the Baltimore City Recycling FAQ for a complete list of accepted materials and how to recycle electronics, motor oil, and other hazardous materials. City-subsidized recycling bins are available for all residents, and can be purchased from selected locations throughout the city. 25 gallon bins are $12 and 18 gallon bins are $5.
​
Bulk Trash
Every month, residents can place up to three items out for collection. One day per month is set aside for this collection. Call three or more working days before your scheduled date and provide your address, telephone number and the three items. If you do not know your day, please call 311 or schedule your collection using 311 Online.
Bulk items are furniture, appliances, and up to four tires with the rims removed. All items must be clearly marked "bulk collection," and placed at the same location as regular trash pickup. Residents with a rear pickup should leave items at the end of the yard and leave the gate unlocked.
​
Building materials such as sheetrock, siding, wood pieces, or roofing will not be collected.
​
Safety Information​
Dial 911 for all emergency police, fire, and ambulance services or to report a crime in-progress. To report non-emergency crimes or safety hazards, dial 311, visit 311.baltimorecity.gov, or use the free Baltimore 311 app. Always report crimes and attempted crimes. Your report helps the city allocate resources and patrol officers, and helps keep your neighbors safe.
