MEDIA ADVISORY
Frederick County, Md. – The Department of Solid Waste Management is announcing the postponement of curbside recycling service for Tuesday, February 17, in response to the winter storm affecting our region. There will be no recycling collection on Tuesday; if recycling carts are already curbside, residents are asked to remove them. To assist the county’s Highway Operations Department with road clearing efforts, no carts should be placed curbside until the storm has passed and roads have been cleared.

Affected regions include the City of Frederick, Ijamsville, New Market, Monrovia, Mt. Airy, Mt. Pleasant, Urbana and surrounding areas.

Please be aware that road conditions may cause some areas to still be inaccessible for recycling collection trucks on Wednesday; drivers will attempt to collect wherever possible. If recyclable materials cannot be picked up from a particular street on its shifted collection day, residents are asked to leave their carts out an additional day, as drivers will attempt to collect again.
