Severe Weather Operational Status
WHAT TO EXPECT IN SEVERE WEATHER
In bad weather, trash and recycling collection may not occur at the usual time, or even on the scheduled day. In cases of inclement weather, check this page or the County's Weather Center for collection status updates. You may also call our 24-hour customer service message system at 410-887-2000.
If your trash or recycling collection does not occur on its scheduled day due to weather related issues, residents' drop-off centers may be open for you to take your materials rather than wait for the next scheduled pickup. Please check this page or call 410-887-2000 before visiting any of the drop-off facilities, as they may also be closed in times of extreme weather conditions.
