Baltimore County Waste Management is always looking out for their customers. They recently launched two new tools for residential garbage recycling customers to save time.
Six months after the Doral waste-to-energy plant went up in flames, the county has a bold plan to replace it. But it could take years to get built.
Recycling is an important way to protect our environment. It conserves landfill space, saves energy and creates jobs.
The Bureau of Solid Waste Management formulates programs for the collection and disposal of waste and recyclable materials for County residents. We also manage the Millersville Landfill and three County Recycling Centers.
Our services include curbside recycling for single-family homes and multi-family dwellings and bulk trash pick-up. We also offer e-waste recycling for Town of Hempstead residential customers, keeping harmful toxins out of our environment. Residents can recycle unwanted computers and electronic equipment at e-Cycling events or drop off their e-waste at the Homeowner Disposal Area in Merrick.
The County Waste App allows residential customers to easily look up their schedule and check the Waste Wizard to see what can be placed in their carts. It also offers helpful features such as setting reminders and paying bills online.
If you receive County Waste service, your trash and recycling will be collected weekly (except for the first full week of December) on your scheduled collection day. Please place your trash and recycling containers at the curb no later than 7:00 am on your collection day. If a County holiday falls on your collection day, your garbage and recycling will be picked up one day later that week.
County Waste is part of the Waste Connections family of companies, a leading provider of waste, recycling and organics management services, dumpster rentals, roll off and resource recovery in the U.S. and Canada. We are proud to be locally managed and to work with our communities to help them thrive.
The County Waste Recycling Centers and Baseline Transfer Station are open regular business hours today, Feb. 19. Residents of the unincorporated county pay an annual solid waste assessment fee to use these facilities at no additional cost. The fees are used to maintain the centers and to fund other countywide recycling & trash disposal initiatives. Commercial users, who do not pay the solid waste assessment, are not permitted to dispose of trash or recycling at the Recycling Centers or Baseline Transfer Station.
Residents of the unincorporated County of Seminole receive household garbage, recycling, yard waste and large item collection service via contracted service providers. The department also oversees the Central Transfer Station and the County Landfill.
All recyclable materials are collected from full recycle dumpsters at curbside, multi-family dwellings or businesses and brought to recycling facilities known as Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs). Items are sorted, cleaned, baled and staged for sale to end markets at these facilities. Reduce, reuse and recycle are the best ways to avoid landfill disposal.
Commercial waste collection provides businesses with a variety of trash and recycling container sizes and pick-up schedules to fit their needs. The company also operates convenient Waste Management Transfer Stations in Clifton Park, Canaan and Schenectady and the Capital Region’s only recycling facility, Sierra Processing. Some waste and recycling services in the Town of Hempstead are provided by Sanitation District or village governments, which are listed on our Sanitation Districts page. Information regarding collection practices for these districts and villages can be obtained by contacting them directly.
Suppose your home or business needs regular trash pickup but you also need to dispose of large items like furniture, appliances, concrete, dirt or similar materials. In that case, County Waste Management offers a variety of dumpster rental sizes that are perfect for those types of projects. This service is also great if you have recently moved or are doing a major clean out and need to get rid of all that stuff at once instead of having it sit on your curb for weeks. Dumpster rentals are priced by size so it is cheaper than paying per pound of garbage picked up.
When junk removal companies aren’t enough to haul away the bulk of your debris, a dumpster rental from Waste Management is the next step. The company offers a variety of sizes to fit your needs and has an online tool that helps you determine the best size for your space. It also provides information on what can and cannot be thrown away, as well as any additional fees that may apply.
Before you rent a dumpster, check to see whether your city requires a permit for containers. Then, enter your address to view all of the Waste Management dumpster sizes available in your area. You can order a Dumpster online or over the phone. The company will give you a price quote and delivery dates once you’ve determined which size you need.
In addition to its range of residential and commercial trash collection services, Waste Management offers a variety of dumpster rentals for large cleanups and renovation projects. The company has a wide variety of roll off dumpster sizes, from three yards to 40 yards, and a few different types to choose from. The smallest dumpster is perfect for clean outs and modest renovations, while the larger options are ideal for large cleanups, major remodels, and even home construction.
While the Dumpsters from WM are more expensive than local junk removal services, they’re much cheaper than purchasing and transporting your own container, which would cost around $3,795 to $5,295. Plus, when you buy a dumpster from WM, the company plants a tree for every dumpster it sells, so you’re helping to make the world a little better!
Once your Dumpster arrives, monitor it as you fill it to ensure that you don’t go over the maximum fill line or add materials that could push the dumpster over its weight limit. These penalties will add up, so be careful.
After your trash is collected, the recyclables will be taken to a recycling center, and the unrecyclable items will be sent to a licensed disposal facility. With its commitment to reducing the amount of junk that ends up in landfills, Waste Management is a good choice for residents and businesses alike.
