TOWSON, MD—The separate collection of yard materials (for Baltimore County residents with “Y” days on their collection schedules) will be halted for the winter in December and will resume in April 2020.

The date of the last 2019 “Y” day varies among Baltimore County collection schedules. Residents must refer to their particular schedule for details (the final “Y” day will occur within the first two weeks of December).

Residents should note that after the last “Y” day occurs on a particular schedule, yard materials can be placed out with trash on a scheduled trash collection day. Residents with no “Y” days on their schedule should continue to place yard materials out with trash on scheduled trash collection days.

Residents may view their trash and recycling collection schedule on the Bureau of Solid Waste Management’s website.

Collection schedules can also be obtained by calling 410-887-2000, or by downloading the County’s BaltCoGo app, for use on mobile phones. The app is offered free of charge to Android and iPhone users and is available on the Google Play and Apple app stores.

Baltimore County residents are reminded that raking or blowing leaves into the gutter or street is illegal.
