Storm Update: Dumpster Locations for Yard Debris

Attached is a press release from the County Executive's office which describes the locations where you can take yard debris.

I understand BGE restored power yesterday to western Perry Hall near Hines Road and to eastern Perry Hall near Richlyn Drive. The main areas without power in the Fifth District are (I believe) Glenside Farms in Perry Hall, a part of Loch Raven Village, much of Rodgers Forge, and northern Perry Hall east of Gunpowder Elementary School. I would like to thank the BGE and out-of-state personnel working hard to restore power, and the county personnel working on debris removal.

Councilman David Marks

Kamenetz Announces Dumpster Locations for Irene Cleanup

Reminds Citizens About Residential Drop-Off Sites

Towson, MD (August 30, 2011) - Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz announced locations of dumpsters to receive yard waste caused by Hurricane Irene that will be placed at career fire stations across Baltimore County beginning Monday, September 5. The dumpsters will remain in place for at least one week, and the program will be evaluated at the end of the week depending upon need.

Baltimore County's Department of Public Works encourages citizens to use the three residential drop-off facilities that the County has available to regularly accept yard waste. These facilities also accept other debris that will not be accepted at the neighborhood dumpsters. Those facilities are located at:

Baltimore County Resource Recovery Facility (Cockeysville)

10275 Beaver Dam

Cockeysville, MD 21030

Hours of Operation: Monday - Saturday, 7:00 am - 4:00 p.m. (Closed Labor Day)

Eastern Sanitary Landfill

6259 Bays Cove Road

White Marsh, MD 21162

Hours of Operation: Monday - Saturday, 7:30 am - 3:30 p.m. (Closed Labor Day)

Western Acceptance Facility (Halethorpe)

3310 Transway Road

Halethorpe, MD 21227

Hours of Operation: Monday - Saturday, 7:00 am - 4:00 p.m. (Closed Labor Day)

Citizens may also place storm-related yard waste in small bundles or bags and put it out on the curb on their regular yard-waste collection day. The dumpsters will be available for residents who will still need to dispose of additional yard waste. Residents are encouraged to follow the same guidelines for disposal in the dumpsters by placing the waste in small bundles or bags.

"I realize that many of our residents will be able to dispose of the yard waste from the storm before Monday, but for those that still need assistance I hope our residential drop-off sites and these dumpsters will make their jobs easier," said Baltimore County Executive Kamenetz. "The citizens of Baltimore County have shown amazing patience during this recovery period, and I want to do everything that we can to help them clean up."

"I know that people in eastern Baltimore County will make good use of our drop-off centers and these additional dumpsters," said Council Chair John Olszewski, Sr. "It makes you feel good when government can help people during hard times."
