Bulky pickup in Baltimore
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Baltimore City collects up to three bulk items per month on your assigned Saturday. Call 311 at least four working days ahead with address, phone, and item list; mark items “bulk collection”; set out by 7 a.m. Allowed items include furniture, mattresses, appliances, and up to four tires with rims off. Not allowed: building materials, auto parts, paint/stain, or flammable/hazardous materials. Free drop-off centers for trash/recycling are an alternative.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
Baltimore HHW is handled at Sisson Street Residential Recycling Center, 2840 Sisson Street (410-396-7250), on a seasonal Friday+Saturday schedule that varies by month. Accepted materials include batteries, oil paint, thinners, pesticides, pool chemicals, propane, fluorescents, automotive fluids, and fire extinguishers in original labeled packaging. Not accepted categories include acids, ammo, asbestos, explosives, and medical waste — confirm the current unacceptable list on the city page (some list variants mention gasoline). Automotive fluids are listed among HHW accepted materials.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Baltimore bulk may include appliances, but mixed electronic waste should be confirmed through the city’s recycling directory and drop-off centers rather than assumed as trash. Keep electronics out of regular recycling carts when not accepted; use listed e-waste drop-offs. Do not place CRTs/electronics in bulk piles if 311 staff direct you to electronics recycling instead.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Building materials are not allowed on Baltimore bulk pickup. Haul construction debris to Quarantine Road Landfill or a private C&D facility. Hazardous wastes are excluded from ordinary landfill C&D loads — paint and chemicals go to Sisson Street HHW instead.
Yard waste, food scraps, and cooking oil where the city has a separate stream.
Official source:
Baltimore handles yard waste through regular city collection programs (not the Saturday bulk hazardous exclusions). Follow DPW yard-waste set-out rules for bags/bundles; keep yard waste out of recycling when not accepted there, and never mix HHW into yard piles.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Baltimore recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. City of Baltimore — Bulk trash pickup and large item removal is the official Baltimore program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
