Garbage Collection and Recycling Schedule

The City of Frederick currently collects trash in Whittier on the Tuesday/Friday schedule. Trash needs to be set out after 5:00 pm or dusk (whichever is later) prior to the collection day. This means trash goes out on Monday night for Tuesday’s pickup and Thursday night for Friday’s pickup. Collection times are scheduled between 12 midnight until 8:00 a.m. Contact Public works for more information at 301-694- 1440. PLEASE DO NOT PLACE ANY TRASH OUT BEFORE THIS TIME. This is a city law and an HOA rule/regulation. Reminder letters will be sent out to repeat offenders.

Recycling bins must be placed on curb no later than 6:00 am every Monday. If you need to purchase an additional bin or a lid (which is highly recommended); please call (301) 696-2960. Using lids with the recycling containers is highly preferable over bins without lids due to our winds.

Please be sure to label all trashcans and recycling bins/lids with your address in permanent marker just in case the wind blows them around.

The City of Frederick does not provide trash pick up or recycling on (6) days per year. They are currently New Years Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas. If the holiday falls on a Tuesday or Friday, the trash must be held until the next regularly scheduled collection day. If the holiday falls on a Monday, recycling must be held until the next Monday.

Always store your trash and recycling containers out of view in your backyard or garage.

Bring Trashcans in BEFORE you leave for work since pick ups occur at night. Recycling bins should be brought in soon as you return home from work.
