New Trash, Recycling Schedules Released In Baltimore County

Press release from Baltimore County Executive Kathy Klausmeier:

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD (Dec. 8, 2025) — Baltimore County residents living in single-family homes will receive their new trash and recycling collection schedules in the mail during the second week of December 2025.

The printed collection calendars, which are returning this year, provide detailed collection day information specific to each household and are effective for the entire 2026 calendar year. Because collection days vary by area, residents are encouraged to review and keep their schedule in an accessible place for quick reference throughout the year.

Each mailing will also include the Baltimore County Trash and Recycling Program Guide, a helpful resource that explains which materials are acceptable for collection, as well as important regulations and best practices for proper trash and recycling disposal.

Residents who do not receive their schedule by Dec. 29, 2025 may contact the Bureau of Solid Waste Management at 410-887-2000 for assistance. Beginning Jan. 1, 2026, schedules will also be available for download on the County’s website at baltimorecountymd.gov/collectionschedule.
