St. Mary’s County convenience centers and dump hours
Convenience centers are what most people call the dump. This page covers six convenience centers and the St. Andrews Landfill. Each one’s hours are posted below, with the rules that apply.
What to do with tires, mattresses, paint, and more
Before you go
- To throw away trash at the landfill or a convenience center, your vehicle needs a free Residential Disposal Permit sticker on the lower left of the windshield. Apply at any convenience center or the landfill scale house with your vehicle registration and proof of residence (driver’s license, lease, tax bill, or military ID). You don’t need a sticker to drop off recycling only.
- Commercial haulers can’t dump trash or rubble at the St. Andrews Landfill. The county doesn’t collect trash at the curb, so residents use the convenience centers or hire a private hauler.
Convenience centers
- The convenience center compactors take only bagged household trash: up to four 35-gallon cans’ worth. Furniture, appliances, scrap metal, tires, yard waste, building debris, and anything bulky go to the St. Andrews Landfill instead.
