Only come to the Shady Grove Transfer Station if you do not have County-provided or private trash collection. If you do not have County-provided or private trash collection and need to dispose of trash at the Transfer Station, DO NOT bring any waste that does not require immediate disposal and DO NOT bring any other waste such as construction debris, bulky/large items, or large amounts of trash from cleaning your house or property (e.g. spring cleaning).

Residential Loads under 500-pounds will be permitted at the PUF subject to the County restrictions.
Residential loads over 500-pounds will be sent to the scales and must pay with credit or debit card.
Commercial/Business Loads will not be permitted at the PUF but they will need to use the scales.

If the County provides the service for residential customers, they will be instructed to place the material at their curb for the next regular County collection.

Green waste, yard trim, and recycling place at the curb for your next regular collection.
Scrap metal must call 311 to arrange for pickup.

We modified Transfer Station hours and operations to minimize exposure of our customers and employees to COVID-19.

Effective immediately, webstore order fulfillment will be delayed while Montgomery County employees are on a telework schedule. Fulfillment will resume when County employees return to administrative offices. 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.
