Yard Waste Collection Year Round as of March 1, 2001!

The Department of Public Works announces that weekly collection of leaves, grass and brush will begin again for curbside customers on March 1, 2001.  The service is so popular among Anne Arundel County residents that the Department has expanded to year-round service.

Place leaves, brush, small tree limbs and grass clippings in the container of your choice, and curb yard  waste containers by 6 am of your regular recycling day beginning March 2001.

Mark bags or reusable containers (such as trash cans) with an "X" so collection crews know it's recycling.

Be sure NOT to place trash, stones, or other debris in your yard waste container.

Limit the weight  of the yard waste containers to 40 lbs.  (for your safety and the safety of our collection crews).

Cut long tree limbs and brush to 4 feet lengths or less (so they'll easily fit in our trucks)

 For more information on trash or recycling, call 410-222-6100, ext 3009 or visit the website at www.aadpw.org
