TOWSON, MD—Baltimore County government offices and the District and Circuit Courts will be closed on July 4 in recognition of the Independence Day holiday. All branches of the Baltimore County Public Library will be closed, parking meters free, and CountyRide vans and the Towson Loop will not operate on the holiday.

Additionally, trash, single stream recyclables and yard materials will not be collected, and drop-off centers will be closed. Residents are reminded that the holiday week will follow “slide” schedule for make-up collection days. All trash, recycling and yard material curbside collections scheduled on or after Thursday, July 4 will shift and occur one day later that week:

• Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday collections remain as scheduled
• Thursday collections shift to Friday
• Friday collections shift to Saturday

For addresses on a twice-per-week trash schedule, the first trash collection during the holiday week will occur one day later than normal (as shown above), and the second trash collection will not occur.

If further clarification is needed, residents are encouraged to consult their specific collection schedule to learn when to set out materials during weeks that contain a collection holiday. Schedules are available for download on the Bureau of Solid Waste Management’s website and can also be requested by calling 410-887-2000.
