After a nearly three-decade hiatus, Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski Jr. announced on Friday that bulk trash collection will return in 2022.

The new service, which was stopped in 1992, intends to enhance the county’s existing waste collection services while reducing illegal dumping, according to a news release.

“Baltimore County spoke, and we listened. For the first time in nearly 30 years, residents will enjoy the convenience of setting bulk trash items out for collection,” Olszewski said in a statement.

The county will start the program in January, providing two free scheduled bulk collections for all single-family homes and townhomes in the county during the year, the news release states.
