CITY TRASH VENDOR TRANSITION - Posted 6/17/25
Effective July 1, 2025 the City will begin using Ecology Services for trash collection. Ecology Services is familiar with Brunswick, as they are the same vendor contracted through Frederick County to collect recycling in the City.
Trash collection routes and days are not changing. Residents may notice a slight difference in the time of day your trash is collected during the initial transition phase.
There will be no change to the remaining bulk trash and yard waste events scheduled for 2025.
After July 1st, if residents have questions about their trash collection, they may contact Ecology Services directly at 301-362-6700 or esrr@ecologyservices.com. Residents are still always welcome to contact City Hall for assistance.
Residents are reminded of the following regulations outlined in the City's trash ordinance:
1. All solid waste must be in containers. The owners of a property are responsible for cleaning up any litter that has escaped from solid waste containers.
2. All solid waste shall be placed at the curb for collection not earlier than 6:00 p.m. on the day preceding and no later than 6:00 a.m. on those days designated for collection and solid waste containers shall be removed by 6:00 a.m. of the day following collection.
3. All solid waste including solid waste containers must be located behind the front building line of the residence or non-residential property when not placed at the public street for collection.
4. It shall be unlawful for any person to place curbside for collection, any solid waste not generated within a residential or non-residential property within the City. It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to place solid waste on the property of another.
The following holidays are observed by Ecology Services: New Years Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. If a holiday falls on your scheduled collection day, then your pickup will slide to the day after the holiday. If the holiday does not fall on your actual collection day, then your pick-up will take place as normal.
