Trash/Recycling

-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!)

-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 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
