Solid Waste Facility

Washington County Solid Waste Department

12630 Earth Care Rd, Hagerstown, MD 21740

(240) 313-2790

A county solid waste site serving Hagerstown residents and small haulers. What to expect is a working dump sort of place - not flashy, but practical for dropping off household trash, yard debris and recyclables. Locals and contractors both show up, especially on weekends and during seasonal cleanups.

There’s an entrance with a small booth and lanes to pull up; follow the flow of traffic and the people in front of you. Vehicles will stop to unload at different spots, so have materials separated as much as possible before getting out. Many Maryland county sites have a scale and require a stop on the way out, so allow a few extra minutes for that. The site is large and dusty in places; bring shoes that can handle gravel and a bit of mud if it’s wet.

Before You Go

  • Sort materials before arriving - separating recyclables, yard waste and trash saves time when it’s your turn to unload.
  • Expect longer waits on weekends and during spring cleanup; earlier mornings on weekdays move quicker if a quicker trip is possible.
  • Secure loose items on trailers and tarps so nothing blows off while driving or unloading; gloves and a basic rake or broom speed cleanup.
