Recycling Information - What You Need to Know

     Effective October 2005, recyclable bottles and cans may be placed out for collection in open-top bins (such as laundry baskets and plastic storage bins) or in see-through, plastic bags (blue, clear, tan, etc.). However, still no trash containers (to avoid confusion with medical and hazardous waste.

     By accepting loose bottles and cans in open-top bins and in a broader range of plastic bags, the County hopes even more citizens will participate in the recycling program. Blue plastic bags, such as those provided by supermarkets for many years, remain a perfectly acceptable option for placing out bottles and cans for collection. Residents who want to continue using blue bags are free to do so. The County is increasing the number of options for bottle and can recycling, not limiting them.

     For further information, call the County’s customer service line at 410-887-2000 or e-mail them at recycle@co.ba.md.us.

     For a recycling and trash collection schedule, please request one at the following web site: Baltimore County DPW Web Site.
