Southwest Citizens’ Convenience Center is a neighborhood drop-off spot in southern Baltimore for residents who need to get rid of household trash, recyclables, or yard waste. People from nearby rowhome blocks and the surrounding communities swing by for small loads rather than hauling things to a big transfer station.

The site is a compact convenience center with roll-off containers and smaller bins rather than long processing lines. There’s usually an entrance booth and a place to pull up close to the containers, so unloading is done from the curbside or the back of a truck. Weekends and spring cleanup days get noticeably busy, with several cars queued at once. Bring things sorted the way they’ll fit in the bins - loose leaves and bagged trash go differently than bulky items - because space is limited and lanes can get tight.

Before You Go

  • Try to visit on a weekday morning if possible; weekend afternoons tend to have the longest waits.
  • Have a tarp or straps ready for loose debris and a hand truck or help for bulky items so unloading is quicker.
  • Know where each item should go before pulling up - it saves time and keeps traffic moving in the small site.
