Special Bulk Pickup |
At present, St. Mary's County Government does not provide residential curbside trash / recyclable collection services nor special bulk pick-up services because it is cost prohibitive. However, we are pleased to be able to assist our customers with managing their garbage, yard waste, recycling, and bulk trash though our six convenience centers, the St. Andrews landfill and some of our special recycling programs. By following the information provided and by initiating simple actions such as recycling, separating yard waste, properly setting out bulk trash items, and safely disposing of household hazardous waste, we trust your special bulk pick-up needs are addressed. If you would like to have curbside pick-up at your home or business, we suggest you contact one of the local private sector service providers. In addition, our customers can help make St. Mary's County a beautiful, litter-free, more sustainable County, by joining us in one or more of the following programs; Clean Community Programs, Neighborhood Litter Critter Program, Fall Clean-up Campaign and Adopt-A-County-Road all found on our Clean Community web page. In the interim, if you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our Solid Waste Manager at 301-863-8400 x 3550.
