What it takes
It’s the only one of Allegany County’s recycling centers that takes used motor oil. The M.V. Smith Refuse Site and the Oldtown Refuse Site take tires and mattresses. The Penn-Mar Recycling takes appliances, some electronics, and some batteries.
Each item has its own rules. Check before you go.
Allegany County rules
- 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.
