Citizens Convenience Center on Sisson Street is a neighborhood drop-off spot in Baltimore where residents bring routine household trash, recyclables, and yard debris. Locals use it when a regular curbside pickup won't do or for quick cleanups.
Pull into a small paved lot off Sisson and look for a low booth near the entrance; the site is set up for drive-up drop-offs rather than long-term storage. Expect separate roll-off containers and dumpsters spread around a compact site, so plan where to stop before getting out of the car. It can feel tight with larger trucks or trailers, and lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup season. Some convenience centers are lightly staffed or operated as self-service, so be prepared to handle lifting and sorting a bit on your own.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring gloves and straps - heavier items usually need a hand getting into the bins and there’s not always equipment to help.
- If hauling a trailer or a truck, approach slowly and pick a lane with enough room; backing out can be awkward in a busy lot.
- Avoid weekend mid-afternoons when the place gets busiest; early weekday trips tend to be much quicker.
