Harford County dump hours
This page covers the Harford Waste Disposal Center and 11 recycling centers. Some are run by the City of Aberdeen, Town of Bel Air, and the City of Havre de Grace, not the county. Each one’s hours are posted below, with the rules that apply.
What to do with tires, mattresses, paint, and more
Before you go
- The Harford Waste Disposal Center is for Harford County residents only: every driver shows a Maryland driver’s license with a current Harford County address. Businesses must be licensed haulers and go to the Eastern Sanitary Landfill in White Marsh.
Landfills
- Trash costs $8 a visit in a car or SUV and $11 in a pickup, passenger van, or trailer up to 8 feet long and 3 feet high; a truck towing a trailer pays for both. Bigger loads need a waiver and cost $117 a ton at the scales. Loads of only recyclables or other free items cost nothing. Cash and credit cards only, no checks or debit cards.
- Unload and leave by 3 p.m.; on Saturdays, when waits can top an hour, arrive with trash by 2:30. A vehicle that needs the scales is turned away after 2:45.
