Recycling in Westminster, Maryland

The City of Westminster subcontracts household trash and recycling pickup to Ecology Services (301-362-6700). Recycling goes out loose in a lidless container marked "recycling", and Carroll County's Northern Landfill at 1400 Baltimore Blvd processes it as single stream. City crews collect bulk trash themselves on Thursdays and Fridays by zone, with a request at least 24 hours ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Westminster MD have curbside recycling?

Yes. Ecology Services picks up household recycling for the City of Westminster. Recycling goes to the Northern Landfill, which runs a single-stream process, so all recyclables share one container. To get a container delivered, call Ecology Services at 301-362-6700 and allow up to 3 days.

What kind of container works for recycling in Westminster MD?

Use the container Ecology Services delivers or your own lidless, bushel-sized container marked "recycling" on all sides. Never put recycling in trash bags: the city takes bagged recycling as trash at the next pickup. Carroll County asks for plastic bottles, cans, cardboard and newspaper, kept relatively clean and loose, with plastic bags and film left out.

How do I get bulk trash picked up in Westminster MD?

Call 410-848-9077 at least 24 hours ahead, or request it in the MyWestminsterMD app. The city collects bulk trash on Thursday or Friday depending on your zone map. Sofas, chairs, lumber, TVs, mattresses and non-metal appliances such as dishwashers and microwaves qualify. Sod, dirt, mulch, rocks, concrete and bricks do not, and the city skips debris from contractor work.

Where do I take motor oil, car batteries and tires near Westminster MD?

Take them to Carroll County's Northern Landfill, 1400 Baltimore Blvd, Westminster (410-386-4550). It takes car batteries, antifreeze, motor oil, hydraulic oil, diesel, kerosene, transmission fluid and propane tanks year-round, with free drop-off areas for appliances, scrap metal and yard trimmings. Tires cost $3 each off the rim or $4 on the rim (33-inch outside diameter or smaller), 5 per household per year.

When can Westminster MD residents drop off household hazardous waste?

Carroll County holds free, residents-only hazardous waste events twice a year, in April and October. They take oil-based paint, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, CFLs and fluorescent tubes, mercury thermometers, and nickel-cadmium, NiMH and lithium batteries. Latex paint and single-use alkaline batteries are refused. Call Recycling Operations at 410-386-2510 for the next date.

How do I check if an item is recyclable in Westminster MD?

Search the item at RecycleCarroll.org or in the Recycle Coach app. The tool tells you whether it belongs in the single-stream bin, a recycling center, an HHW event or the trash. The Northern Landfill also takes rigid plastics, cooking oil, vinyl siding, select electronics, usable building materials, and clothing and books in reusable condition.
