NEW Holiday Schedule & Inclement Weather

Holiday Slide Schedule

As of Memorial Day 2009, Howard County's holiday collection schedule for trash, recycling and yardwaste has changed. Collections are now made on a 'slide' schedule so that residents no longer miss collection due to a holiday.

New Year's Day	Labor Day
Memorial Day	Thanksgiving Day
Independence Day	Christmas Day

If any of the above holidays fall during the work week (Monday-Friday), all collections scheduled on or after the holiday will 'slide' and be made one day later that week. Please remember, all items to be collected must be out by 6 a.m. on the day of collection.

By implementing a slide schedule, Howard County increases the level of collection service by adding several collection days per year.

NOTE: Trash, recycling and yardwaste collection has moved to this new holiday slide schedule.

Inclement Weather

During inclement weather, every effort will be made to continue to provide scheduled collections. If collections are cancelled due to snow, ice, or other severe weather, pick-up will be made the following day, if possible, or when road conditions permit. Call (410) 313-6444 for cancellation and makeup information.

Residents are reminded that trash, recycling and yardwaste receptacles must be placed at the curb free of snow and ice, so that the collectors can access them. Collection personnel do not dig residents' containers out from under snow or ice.
