Garrett County Government Solid Waste

1367 Bumble Bee Rd, McHenry, MD 21541

(301) 387-0322

Garrett County Government Solid Waste is the county solid waste drop-off a short drive from Accident, located on Bumble Bee Road near McHenry. Locals bring everything from household trash to recyclables and yard debris; this is the place residents use when a curbside pickup won't do.

Pull in off Bumble Bee Road and there’s usually an entrance booth and a gate area where vehicles line up. Expect open tipping areas, piles or bays for different materials, and recycling containers off to one side rather than a single building. Trucks and trailers are common, so there’s a bit of maneuvering; drive slowly and watch for backing equipment. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, can get busy and lines form out toward the road.

Before You Go

  • Sort and secure the load before you get to the gate so unloading is quick and you don’t find mixed materials when it’s your turn.
  • Bring gloves, sturdy shoes, and a tarp or straps to keep loose material from blowing out while driving on the county roads.
  • Plan for a wait on weekend mornings or seasonal busy times and avoid cutting across work areas-watch for heavy equipment and follow cone/flagger directions.
