Allegany County convenience centers and dump hours
Convenience centers are what most people call the dump. This page covers two convenience centers, the Mountainview Landfill, and three recycling centers. Some are run by Mountainview Landfill and Penn-Mar Recycling, not the county. Each one’s posted hours are below, with the rules that apply.
What to do with tires, mattresses, paint, and more
Before you go
- The county’s refuse sites take trash only with an orange trash sticker ($2) on each bag or can, up to 40 gallons or 40 pounds. Bulky items take more stickers: 3 for a chair or toilet, 6 for a recliner or a full-size mattress, 12 for a couch. Each resident may bring 10 bags a day and 2 bulky items that need 6 or more stickers.
- Stickers are sold at the County Finance Department (701 Kelly Road, Cumberland, weekdays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.), the M.V. Smith and Oldtown sites, Frostburg City Hall, and stores and banks around the county; many sell at least five. The Mountainview Landfill takes stickers but doesn’t sell them.
Convenience centers
