The Anne Arundel County Department of Public Works (DPW) will place a dumpster in the parking lot of the Recreation Area on the morning of July 29, 2025, and remove it by noon on July 31, 2025.
There will be a limited number of dumpsters provided by Anne Arundel County DPW. Therefore, it is important to load the material from the rear to the front of the dumpster(s). This loading practice will allow the community to get the full use of the dumpster(s) prior to the scheduled removal date.
Below is a list of unacceptable materials that SHOULD NOT be placed in the dumpster(s). If the dumpster(s) are contaminated with unacceptable materials, the community will be removed from the Anne Arundel County DPW Community Clean Up Program. Dumpster Days is not meant to replace the normal Curbside Collection and Recycling Program. Information regarding the normal Curbside Collection and Recycling Program can be found at the bottom of this page.
