Solid Waste Facility
Queen Anne's County Solid Waste
312 Safety Dr, Centreville, MD 21617
(410) 758-6605A county-run solid waste site in Centreville that locals use for household trash, yard debris, and drop-off recycling. Short drives from nearby neighborhoods make it a regular stop for residents hauling weekend cleanups or small renovation leftovers.
Pull into a gated entrance off Safety Drive and slow down for the attendant’s booth where vehicles are checked before entering. The site is open-air with rows of skips, piles, and roll-offs rather than an indoor building, so expect lots of trucks and trailers moving around. A scale and pay station are commonly found at these county facilities, so drivers often go in and then back out to the scale before leaving. Weekends and spring cleanup times are noticeably busier, with lines forming at peak hours.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps and straps so debris doesn’t blow out while waiting in line or moving around the site.
- Head there early on a weekday or late afternoon on slower days to avoid the weekend backup.
- Sort materials in the truck beforehand as much as possible so unloading goes faster and minimizes time directing where things should go.
