Materials Accepted in Baltimore
Based on the listings above, materials commonly handled in Baltimore include recycling, scrap-metal, drop-off, municipal, electronics. Browse the guides below for preparation tips, scrap values, and what's recyclable.
Baltimore City runs single-stream curbside recycling through the Department of Public Works, and on rowhouse blocks the set-out rules matter as much as the accepted list. Recyclables go out in bins, cardboard boxes, or paper bags at the same spot as your trash, never in plastic bags, which jam the automated sorting line. Rigid plastics and other bulky material are routed to the citizen drop-off centers rather than the curb.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do I set out recycling in Baltimore?
Place recycling at the same location as your regular trash pickup by 6 a.m. on your collection day. If your collection day falls on a holiday, hold the material until the makeup collection, which is the following Saturday.
Can I put Baltimore recycling out in plastic bags?
No. The city uses single-stream recycling processed by automated sorting equipment, and plastic bags jam that machinery. Use a recycling bin, a cardboard box, or a paper bag instead. Most retailers collect used plastic shopping bags, including dry cleaning bags, at their own drop-off points. See our plastic recycling guide.
What does Baltimore accept in curbside recycling?
Empty aerosol cans, aluminum cans and clean foil, hardbound and paperback books, glass bottles and jars in brown, clear, or green, cardboard and paperboard boxes, waxed cartons and clean juice boxes, mail with plastic windows, all colors and types of paper including shredded paper, steel and tin food and beverage containers, and plastic bottles, jars, wide-mouth containers, drinking cups, and prescription bottles with lids and caps.
Where do rigid plastics go in Baltimore?
Rigid plastics such as milk and soda crates, buckets, laundry baskets, lawn furniture, totes, plastic drums, coolers, flower pots, pallets, pet carriers, shelving, closet organizers, and empty garbage or recycling bins go to citizen drop-off center locations 1 through 5 and belong in the container marked rigid plastics.
What is not accepted in Baltimore's recycling?
Carry-out and deli food containers, cat litter, chemicals, plastic cookware, plates, and utensils, containers that held motor oil or pesticides, contaminated paper such as napkins, paper towels, and tissue, food waste, furniture, window glass and mirrors, paint and paint cans, plastic bags, waxed paper, and Styrofoam. Paint and chemicals need a household hazardous waste route instead.
Recycling tips for Baltimore
