Have a broken or unneeded blue recycling bin at your home? Add bin pickup to your "Cart". We must have a specific pickup request in order to take your old bin.
These bins are for single-family and townhouse residents who receive Montgomery County-provided recycling service. Check whether your recycling service is County-provided.
If you live in a municipality, contact your local officials to request a recycling bin.
How big is the bin?
- 15.5" wide
- 19" long
- 21.5" tall
How much does it cost?
If you receive recycling collection service from Montgomery County, Maryland, we provide and deliver these bins free of charge.
When will I get my new bin?
| If you request bin delivery |
we will deliver your bin |
| by Friday at 2 pm |
by the end of Friday next week |
| after Friday at 2 pm |
by the end of Friday in two weeks |
Blue bin deliveries are made by County staff, not by your recycling collection crew. Delivery occurs any day of the week (Monday through Friday) and not necessarily on your regular recycling collection day.
If you requested an old bin pickup at the same time, County staff will deliver your new bin and pick up your old one in the same visit.
How do I recycle until my new bin arrives?
Collect your recyclables in a small cardboard box. If we haven't delivered your new bin by your recycling day, set the cardboard box out at the curb, just as you would do with your bin.
Will you pick up my old bin?
Yes. In fact, we recycle the broken bins we collect. Request pickup of your old blue bin.
