How to recycle / dispose satellite dishes

Search for another material

If the satellite dish is metal, and if you receive recycling service from Montgomery County, request a scrap metal collection for it.

If it is not metal, and if you receive trash service from Montgomery County, request a bulk trash collection for the dish.

Use our Collection Day Lookup tool to see how your recycling or trash trash service is provided. Or, call the Montgomery County Customer Service Center at 311 (or 240-777-0311).

We also accept satellite dishes as trash or scrap metal, depending on their composition, directly at the Shady Grove Processing Facility and Transfer Station.
