Trash/Recycling/Composting

City Sanitation Guides - English español

1.    Garbage - ALL TRASH MUST BE IN A CAN WITH A TIGHT-FITTING LID - NO LOOSE BAGS. Pickup on Wed. - put curbside at 6:00pm+ on Tuesday night. If a holiday, pickup on Sat. (Tip: If lid is separate, tether it to the can with string or cable tie.) City ordinance mandates that cans cannot be stored on sidewalks. Up to 96 gallons per building (including multi-units) or up to 5 clear or labeled bags of yard waste (leaves, weeds, and branches up to 4” thick or 3’ long). (Note: Rats chew through plastic and love to eat dog poop so be sure to pickup after your pet-and it’s the law!)

2.    Recycling - PLEASE SECURE YOUR ITEMS SO THEY ARE NOT BLOWING DOWN THE STREET! NO plastic bags at all (including as a container)! Pickup on Friday. If a holiday, pickup is usually on Sat. Items must be clean and dry. All paper and cardboard and cartons (no napkins and paper towels); metal food and beverage cans (no hangers); glass bottles and jars (no light bulbs, dishes, or window glass); plastic bottles, jugs and jars (no bags, straws, yogurt or carryout containers, rigid plastic utensils, plastic rings, or housings). Polystyrene (Styrofoam) is not accepted - put it in your regular trash. More at https://publicworks.baltimorecity.gov/recycling-services

3.    Composting - Compost your food scraps for free! Drop off your food waste at the Farmers’ Market & Bazaar on Sundays from 7am-Noon from April through mid-December (E Saratoga and Holliday Streets) or at Johns Hopkins East Baltimore Campus (Koch Cancer Research Building II - 1551 Jefferson). NO plastic bags are allowed (including as a container), as well as dairy, meats, stickers on produce or compostable plasticware.
