Waste Management - Baltimore Recycling Center

A large Recycling Center tucked into the industrial part of Southeast Baltimore, used by residents and small haulers dropping off household recyclables and bulk items. Worth a stop for anyone trying to keep cardboard, metals, plastics and glass out of the landfill, especially during neighborhood cleanups.

There’s an entrance booth and a short drive in from Quad Avenue where cars and small trucks queue up; larger trucks also come through so expect some traffic. A scale is typically on site, so loads are often weighed and drivers pass by it coming and going. Recycling cages and roll-off areas are grouped together - look for rows of open-top containers and areas stacked with flattened cardboard. Lines build on weekends and during spring cleanup, so the lot can feel busy and noisy with machinery moving material around.
