Quarantine Road Sanitary Landfill

Quarantine Road Sanitary Landfill is the large landfill down in Curtis Bay where Baltimore’s trash is buried. City haulers, commercial trucks and residents with bulk loads use the site. It’s a working landfill - big scale and earth mounds, not a neat drop-off center.

Drive up to an entrance booth and there’s a scale you’ll cross - tipping fees are charged by weight, so expect to be weighed on the way in and again on the way out. The yard is industrial: heavy equipment moving, wide gravel drives and large dirt cells visible from the road. Lines build up at peak times, especially spring cleanup and weekends, so allow extra time. Commercial loads are common and the site handles big trucks more easily than small passenger cars.
