Yard Waste Will Be Collected Wednesdays Starting June 21

A curbside collection provider has been hired to help alleviate the delays some collection routes in Anne Arundel County are experiencing.

ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, MD — The Anne Arundel County Department of Public Works has hired an additional curbside collection provider to address curbside collection delays in portions of Glen Burnie, Pasadena, Severna Park, Gambrills, Odenton, Laurel and Maryland City. The delays are mostly yard waste-related and are associated with the labor shortage problems of the current contractor.

To implement the plan, the yard waste collection day for customers in these areas will be changed. Beginning the week of June 21, weekly collection of yard waste will occur on Wednesdays. This change will remain in effect until further notice. There are no plans to change the collection day for trash or recyclables, according to the county.
