Solid Waste Facility
Somerset County Solid Waste
11916 Somerset Ave # 201, Princess Anne, MD 21853
(410) 651-9641A county-run solid waste site in Princess Anne where local residents and small haulers drop off household trash, recyclables and yard debris. The place is used by people from around Somerset County looking for a local spot to unload seasonal cleanups or regular trash.
Approach the entrance booth and have vehicle and load ready; there’s usually a small checkpoint before driving in. Vehicles typically pull forward to a scale and then to various unloading areas; expect piles of brush, roll-off containers and assorted recycling bins. The recycling area is usually grouped to one side near the entrance, and the yard waste/brush piles sit apart from the household trash areas. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, so lines can form at the gate and at the scale.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring gloves and a tarp - many drops require getting in and out of the truck to unload loose material.
- Separate recyclables and yard waste before arriving to save time and avoid moving between piles.
- Have vehicle documentation and anything needed for county resident verification handy to present at the booth.
