Bulk Trash
Bulk trash remains suspended due to the pandemic and the number of staff required to sustain the operation. Residents are encouraged to take or have bulk items taken to one of DPW's five Citizens’ Convenient Centers.
How To Get Bulk Items Collected
Every month, Baltimoreans can place up to three items out for collection. One day per month is set aside for this collection. All citizens have to do is call 311 and tell us:
- Your address
- Your telephone #
- What 3 items
Call us three (3) or more working days before your scheduled date. If you do not know your day, please call 311 or schedule your collection using 311 Online.

Where and how should it be placed?
All items should be placed at the same location as regular trash. If you have a rear collection for trash, clearly mark all items and place them at the end of the yard and leave the gate unlocked.
