Our schedules apply to recycling and trash collection service provided by Montgomery County, Maryland, to single-family homes and townhomes.
Check whether your address receives County-provided service.
If you live in a municipality, your holiday schedule for recycling or trash collection may be different from the County schedule.
See recycling/trash contact information for municipalities.
All items to be collected must be out at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on your collection day.
