Curbside Collection Information

Curbside collection

Refuse Collection

The Annapolis City Code 10.16 requires each owner and occupant of the property to provide sufficient number of containers for the proper storage and disposal of trash between and during times of trash collection service. Improper storage of household trash can provide a source of food and a home for rodents and insects and may resulting health nuisance.  The City does not provide residential customers with refuse containers.

Follow these steps when place refuse (trash) out for collection to avoid having your trash tagged and left behind.
