TOWSON, MD—Beginning April 1, 2025, yard materials will be collected separately from Baltimore County residents with scheduled yard material collection. These separate yard material collections will occur from April 1 through as late as December 14. The collected yard materials are composted into an earthy organic material to be used by Baltimore County agencies and residents.
Residents may view their schedule on the Bureau of Solid Waste Management’s website. If a resident’s schedule does not include separate yard day collection, they are encouraged to take their yard material to one of the County’s three drop-off centers.
County regulations require that yard materials set out for separate collection must be placed in heavy-duty paper lawn and leaf bags or bundled with non-plastic string. For these set-outs, plastic bags will not be accepted.
Yard materials acceptable for recycling collection include grass, leaves, vines, twigs, shrubbery trimmings, branches and limbs. Branches and limbs will be collected only if they are no larger than 3 inches in diameter and no longer than 3 feet.
