Frostburg Gets Trashed

Frostburg City Officials have made changes to the routes of garbage and solid waste removal.  

City Officials would like to remind residents: “The City of Frostburg collects trash from residential properties only.  Commercial properties must hire a private collection company.  New multifamily apartments and commercial buildings are required to have commercial dumpsters and private service.  The following applies to residential properties only.”

Officials have released a “Best Practices, Garbage/Trash Collection” feature on their website.  The City asks that residents use plastic trash bags placed in containers designed for trash collection, including lids, pick up loose trash on their property, keep containers inside until ready to place at curb for pickup, and if a collection is missed, please return your container to inside storage or rear yard.  Further guidelines and code enforcement can be found here.

City Officials also ask that you remember to recycle.  In addition to curbside pickups, newspaper, aluminum cans, tin food cans, and magazines can be recycled at the Mountainview Landfill on Route 36, just 2 miles south of Frostburg.  A complete list of recycling drop-off locations can be found here.

Don’t forget that on the second Monday of each month from April to November, the City will also pickup yard waste, such as compost material, grass, leaves, brush, and tree branches up to 4” in diameter.

Please be advised that there will be no trash pick-up on upcoming City Holidays including Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s.  A list of city holidays can be found here.
