Baltimore County convenience centers and dump hours

Before you go

• County residents may use the three drop-off centers free up to 10 times a year. After that, loads go to the Eastern Sanitary Landfill at $125 a ton.
• Each single-family home and townhouse gets two scheduled bulk pickups a year, up to three items each, on dates mailed to residents: furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronics, and some fixtures like sinks and toilets. Set items out after 6 p.m. the night before. Call 410-887-2000 if you can’t find your dates.
• Commercial haulers need a county commercial account and collection permit to use the drop-off centers: $125 a ton for trash, $65 a ton for brush, and a $10 minimum without an account.
• The Central Acceptance Facility in Cockeysville is the full-service hazardous waste site: paint, household chemicals, and pesticides go there. All three centers take motor oil, antifreeze, car and rechargeable batteries, fluorescent bulbs, and mercury thermometers.
