WMG provides curbside recycling collection for over 164,000 County residents and citizens. As a County homeowner, you pay a fee for recycling and other waste management programs through the Solid Waste Charge that appears on your property tax bill. By placing your recycling bin and/or cart at the curb once a week on your regularly scheduled collection day, you can help reduce the amount of trash that is disposed of at the landfill.

A box or any receptacle marked with an “X” or the word “Recycling” may be used as a recycling collection container. Remember to rinse all food and beverage containers and to recap or place the lids in the recycling cart/bin. To request a recycling container, call (301) 952-7630.

The Department of Environmental Resources does not collect recyclables or supply recycling carts or bins to municipalities that have opted out of the County's program. See the Excluded Municipalities on the website. Residents living in the following Excluded Municipalities listed should contact their Town Hall for recycling services.

Weekly curbside collection of yard waste will be collected year round as well.

- All recyclable items are placed in the same container.
- Recyclables are collected without the need to sort or separate.
- Equipment at the Materials Recycling Facility sorts the materials
- Corrugated cardboard boxes will be collected with their contents.
