Yard Trim Collection

Update 5/10/2021: Due to a COVID-related issue, yard trim collection is ongoing, but behind schedule. If your yard trim was not picked up on your regular collection day, please leave materials curbside so that we can collect during the week. Some collections may be delayed until Saturday, May 15. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. For questions or concerns call 311 (240-777-0311) and press 3 to get directed to Trash & Recycling.

Effective immediately, webstore order fulfillment will be delayed while Montgomery County employees are on a telework schedule. Check the County website for the latest news and information: https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov.

Recycling Bin - pickup request

22-gallon recycling bins are used for bottles, cans, containers, and jars.

I need my old 22-gallon recycling bin picked up because:

Bin is broken and cracked.
Bin is dirty.
I no longer use my bin.
I use my own container.

How many bins do you need picked up?

If you would like to request a repair or replacement of your mixed paper wheeled cart, you may call 311 (240-777-0311) as cart service fulfilment is separate from 22-gallon bin service.

Have a broken or unneeded blue recycling bin at your home? Add bin pickup to your "Cart". We must have a specific pickup request in order to take your old bin.

How to prepare your bin for pickup

Set your blue bin at the curb upside down and empty next Monday morning by 7:00 a.m.
Leave the bin at the curb. The pick-up will occur when delivery personnel are in your neighborhood.

If you ordered a new bin at the same time, we will pick up your old bin when we deliver your new one.

When will you pick up my bin?

If you request bin pickup	we will pick up your bin
by Friday at 2:00 p.m.	by the end of Friday next week
after Friday at 2:00 p.m.	by the end of Friday in two weeks

Blue bin pickups are made by County staff, not by your recycling collection crew. They may happen any day of the week, and not necessarily on your recycling day.

What happens to the blue bins we pick up?

We send broken blue bins we collect from residents back to the bin manufacturer for recycling.
