Effective Monday, April 6, 2020 we will stop accepting cash and checks at the Shady Grove Transfer Station Scale House. We will continue to accept credit cards and corporate accounts.

Effective March 30, 2020 Shady Grove Transfer Station hours are:

9:00am - 5:00pm DAILY - Recycling Center & Public Unloading Facility Scale House (355 entrance)
8:00am - 5:00pm MON to SAT - Trash & municipal solid waste Scale House (Shady Grove Road entrance)

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 Public Unloading Facility (entrance from route 355), subject to the County restrictions.
Residential loads over 500-pounds will be sent to the scales (entrance from Shady Grove Road) and must pay with credit or debit card.
Commercial/Business Loads will not be permitted at the Public Unloading Facility. They will need to use the scales.

If you live in a single family home, the County provides recycling and yard trim pickup. You will be instructed to place this recyclable material (green waste, yard trim, recyclables) at the curb for the next regular County collection.

Scrap metal should not be brought to the Transfer Station. Call 311 to arrange for pickup or work with your private trash provider.

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.

22-gallon Recycling Bin

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

Select the response that best describes your reason for ordering a new recycling bin:

Bin is broken/cracked.
Bin disappeared from the curb.
There was no bin at this address when I moved in.
I have more recycling than my current bin can hold.

Quantity

You may order up to 2 bins per year.

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.

These 22-gallon bins are for single-family and townhouse residents who receive Montgomery County-provided recycling service. Check whether your recycling service is County-provided.

If you live in a municipality, contact your local officials to request a recycling bin.

How many bins may I order?

You may order up to 2 bins per year.

How big is the bin?

18.5" wide
21" high
15.5" deep
22-gallon capacity

How much does it cost?

If you receive recycling collection service from Montgomery County, Maryland, we provide and deliver these bins free of charge.

When will I get my new bin?

If you place your order	we will deliver your new bin between
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

We will place your new bin near your door or garage. You do not need to be home to receive it.

Blue bin deliveries are made by County staff, not by your recycling collection crew. They may happen any weekday, and not necessarily on your recycling day.

How do I recycle until my new bin arrives?

Collect your recyclables in a small cardboard box. If we haven't delivered your new bin by your recycling day, set the cardboard box out at the curb, just as you would do with your bin.

Will you pick up my old bin?

Yes. In fact, we recycle the broken bins we collect. Request pickup of your old blue bin.
