Citizens directed to use Sisson Street yard
Small Haulers to use Quarantine Road Landfill

Due to construction, the Northwest Transfer Station (NWTS), located at 5030 Reisterstown Road, will close to citizens and to small commercial haulers for two weeks beginning Monday, July 2.  The station will reopen on Monday, July 16.

During the closure, citizens are advised to use the next closest drop-off location, at 2840 Sisson Street.  Sisson Street yard is open Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. – 7 p.m.  For bulk items, call 311 to schedule a pickup of three items or less.

Small haulers may use the Quarantine Road Landfill.  This location is also part of the City’s Small Hauler Program and will not be affected by this work.  The landfill is open to haulers Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. - 4 p.m.

The NWTS opened to registered small, commercial haulers in April 2017.  This location was added in an effort to make it easier for small haulers to dispose of trash, reduce illegal dumping and keep the city cleaner and healthier.  

During the period from April to December 2017, data showed a 150% increase in tonnage collected by the station when compared to the same period the prior year.  There has also been a decrease in illegal dumping reported in the area around the NWTS.
