Reduce the Risk for Trash Fires. Keep Certain Materials Out of Your Trash Can.

Reduce the Risk for Trash Fires. 

Keep Certain Materials Out of Your Trash Can. 

Fires can occur in piles of trash as trash is collected in trash trucks, and when trash is delivered and aggregated at the Transfer Station and the Resource Recovery Facility for processing. Certain materials can individually pose a fire hazard.  Other items pose a risk for fire when they come into contact with other materials. 

To reduce the risk of trash fires at your home, in our trash collection vehicles, or at our disposal facilities, please keep the following materials or items out of your trash:

·        Hazardous materials

·        Chemicals

·        Gasoline and other flammable liquids

·        Oil-based paints

·        Rechargeable batteries (containing heavy metals, including lithium)

·        Ash from fireplaces or fire pits or barbeque grills
 More information on ash disposal

To dispose of these items safely, use our Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Program or Special Collection Processes at the Montgomery County Shady Grove Processing Facility and Transfer Station. For details, visit www.montgomerycountymd.gov/hazardouswaste or call 311 (inside Montgomery County) or 240-777-0311 (outside of Montgomery County).

Sign up for our operating status updates by email or text message.

By the end of the day on Wednesday, we expect all Monday and Tuesday routes to be complete.

Please have your items out at the curb for collection by 7 a.m. Where there are snow banks and parked cars, please place your bins, cans, and carts so that crews see them easily from the street.

February 14, 2014 - collections cancelled, due to snow

Montgomery County-provided recycling and trash collections have been cancelled for Friday, February 14, 2014. The Shady Grove Transfer Station will be open with normal hours.

Although snow crews are working very hard to clear our streets, many residential neighborhoods have not been plowed. For the safety of our residents and our collectors, we will not “slide” Thursday and Friday’s schedule through the weekend. There will be no trash or recycling collection on Saturday and Sunday.

If you had paper recycling cart repairs or pickups scheduled for February 13 or 14, we will make those on February 18 and 19, 2014.

Monday, February 17, 2014, is Presidents Day, a Montgomery County holiday, so no collection services will be provided that day. That week's schedule remains as we previously announced:
