What it takes

It’s the only place in Allegany County that takes brush. 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.
