Solid Waste Facility
Wicomico County Solid Waste
6948 Brick Kiln Rd, Salisbury, MD 21801
(410) 548-4935Wicomico County Solid Waste is the county's general drop-off spot in Salisbury for household garbage, recycling and yard debris. Locals, landscapers and anyone hauling a truck or trailer tend to end up here when clearing out the house or yard.
There’s an entry booth and a lane to pull up through; traffic usually stops there for a short check before proceeding. A scale and exit stop are common at this type of facility, so plan for a brief wait both coming in and leaving. Recycling bins and yard waste piles are typically grouped near the main working area, with tipping spots and containers visible from the lanes. Weekends and spring cleanup times bring noticeably longer lines and more activity on the yards.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials ahead of time - separate recyclables and yard debris from general trash to speed unloading.
- Secure and tarp loaded trucks or trailers so nothing blows out while driving and staff can move things more quickly.
- Try to go midweek or early in the morning to avoid the weekend rush; bring gloves and a dolly or straps for bulky items to make unloading easier.
