Does the City offer recycling and garbage collection?
Recycling, leaf collection and bulk pickup services are offered by the City of Gaithersburg. The City contracts with a private hauler for the collection of paper, cardboard, cans, glass and plastic bottles. City crews collect branches, grass, leaves and other yard trimmings. These services are provided for residents of single family homes and townhouses. Regular garbage collection must be handled by private contractors; however, the City does provide monthly bulk refuse collection for those large items that private collectors will not accept. A drop-off area for recyclables is also available for citizens. Questions can be directed to publicworks@gaithersburgmd.gov or call 301-258-6370.
