The Department of Public Works and Transportation wants to sincerely apologize to any Baltimore County resident who missed putting out their trash or recycling for collection on Monday.
We recently discovered an error in the printed collection calendar that was mailed to residents. Once we became aware of the issue, we worked quickly to share the correct pick-up information. We understand how frustrating this may have been, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience it caused.
As a reminder, Baltimore County follows a slide collection schedule only on the following holidays: Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day. On all other holidays, trash and recycling are collected on their normal days.
Although identified as slide-schedule holidays on the printed calendar, trash and recycling will be collected as usual on Presidents Day (Feb. 16), Indigenous Peoples’ Day (Oct. 12), and Veterans Day (Nov. 11).
Again, please remember to place your trash and recycling out for pick-up on your regularly scheduled days this week.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We truly appreciate our residents and remain committed to providing clear communication and dependable service.
