Municipal programs

Do cities in Maryland offer free bulk pickup?

Every city in Maryland handles bulk pickup differently. Some offer free monthly programs with strict limits, others have no program at all. Here's how each city's municipal program compares — and where Dropcurb fills the gaps.

TowsonBulk pickup

Baltimore County Bureau of Solid Waste Management runs bulk pickup for Towson—two scheduled collections per year per single-family home or townhome, with a maximum of three items per collection and nothing over eight feet long. Dates are pre-assigned by mailer; no call required. Construction and demolition debris—drywall, lumber, roofing shingles, tile, concrete—is not on the accepted bulk-item list, so renovation waste must go to a County drop-off center or a private hauler. The program was resumed in 2022 after nearly 30 years off.

Bel Air SouthNo program

Furniture removal in Bel Air South runs into a stack of structural friction that has nothing to do with the couch itself. (1) Bel Air South is an unincorporated CDP — there is no Bel Air South municipal government — and Harford County does NOT perform or manage curbside trash collection. Each household contracts privately with one of three County-licensed residential haulers — Bartenfelder Sanitation Services (410-457-5550), Casella, formerly GFL — same trucks, rebranded route (410-457-0404), or Harford County Trash Services (443-841-6253) — and standard residential contracts do NOT include couches, sectionals, dressers, sleeper sofas, recliners, or bed frames as part of regular curbside or scheduled bulk pickup. The County's own page directs furniture and bulky add-ons to "your trash hauler directly" — that means a paid bulk add-on or an appointment-only pickup, not a Tuesday curb-out. (2) The Harford Waste Disposal Center (HWDC), 3241 Scarboro Road, Street, MD 21154 (~10 mi NNE), accepts furniture but classifies it as TRASH that triggers the per-vehicle disposal fee. The County's fee page is explicit: "If a load contains items considered to be trash (examples include household trash, construction and demolition debris, furniture, mattresses, and CRT monitors and televisions), then the customer will be charged the fee by vehicle type." There is no separate per-piece furniture surcharge — only the per-vehicle flat fee or the prorated $117/ton scale rate on oversized loads. Per-vehicle fees effective 7/10/2023: $8 auto/SUV; $11 pickup truck / passenger van / trailer (max bed 8 ft × 3 ft); $117/ton oversized prorated with $11 minimum. (3) HWDC hours: Mon–Sat 7:00 AM–3:00 PM; vehicles in after 2:45 PM that cannot unload by 3:00 PM are turned away; Saturday 1+ hour waits per the County — DIY furniture drop-off on the only weekend window is the most congested slot of the week. (4) Maryland driver's license + vehicle registration with a current Harford County address required at the gate; commercial vehicles barred and routed to the Eastern Sanitary Landfill (ESL) at White Marsh ($125/ton non-special MSW, $200/ton special handling). That gate rule means a hired junk-removal truck cannot dispose of customer furniture at HWDC and must tip commercially at ESL or another commercial facility. (5) Cash and credit only at HWDC — no checks, no debit. (6) Furniture is not separately recovered or recycled at HWDC — pieces enter the standard MSW stream. (7) The Town of Bel Air, immediately N — a separate municipal jurisdiction and the Harford County seat — runs Wednesday bulk pickup every other week by appointment (Public Works 410-638-4545, 24 hours in advance), but the program serves Town residents ONLY. Bel Air South residents are NOT eligible, even though Google searches for "Bel Air bulk pickup" frequently land on the Town page. (8) Donation channels turn away the pieces residents most want gone. Habitat for Humanity Susquehanna ReStore in Aberdeen (~10 mi NE), Salvation Army Bel Air, and Goodwill of the Chesapeake — Bel Air all accept gently used couches, dressers, dining sets, and tables, but condition standards exclude torn upholstery, particle-board breakdown, sagging frames, and any pet-damage or bedbug history; Goodwill Bel Air takes furniture at the donation door only — no home pickup. The pet-stained sectional, the sagging sleeper sofa, the dresser with the busted runner, and the cracked recliner are all back on the paid-haul path.

FAQ

Common questions about junk removal in Maryland

How much does junk removal cost in Maryland?

Dropcurb starts at $79 across all 37 cities in Maryland. Every item has an all-in first-item price and an add-on price. A couch is $79, a queen mattress is $99, a dresser is $79, a TV is $99, a refrigerator is $134, a treadmill is $109. Additional items each add their own add-on price. The price you see is the price you pay — nothing added at checkout.

Does Maryland offer free bulk pickup?

It depends on the city. 36 of the 37 cities we serve in Maryland offer some form of bulk pickup, but programs vary widely in frequency, item limits, and scheduling requirements. Bel Air South has no municipal bulk pickup program. See the comparison table above for details. Dropcurb offers same-day pickup across all 37 cities starting at $79.

How fast can I get junk removed in Maryland?

Same day. Book before noon in any of our 37 Maryland cities and your items are picked up by 8 PM. No appointment windows. Place items at the curb and go about your day. We text you confirmation when the hauler completes the pickup.

What items does Dropcurb pick up in Maryland?

Dropcurb picks up furniture (couches, dressers, desks, tables, bed frames), mattresses and box springs, appliances (refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers), electronics (TVs, monitors, computers), exercise equipment (treadmills, ellipticals, exercise bikes), outdoor items (grills, patio furniture, trampolines), and bagged junk. We do not pick up hazardous materials, propane tanks, tires, or items over 400 lbs like hot tubs and pianos.

Do I have to be home for a Dropcurb pickup in Maryland?

No. Dropcurb is curbside-only across all 37 cities in Maryland. Place items at the curb (or your driveway apron) by 8 AM the day of pickup. The hauler texts you a confirmation photo when the pickup is complete — no signature, no walk-through, and no one enters your home or garage. This is the core difference between Dropcurb and a traditional in-home haul: you book online, leave it out, and go about your day.
