Dumpster rental
in Arbutus.

Arbutus has no town hall, so the rule that matters is Baltimore County's: a $100 Use Permit for a bin on your own lot, and no dumpster in the street. That makes driveway length the first question for any 21227 home; a lot that cannot hold a 12- to 18-ft box may be better served by trips to the County's Western Acceptance Facility on Transway Road, a short drive away in Halethorpe.

The first decision in Arbutus

Start with an eligible hauler.

Residential Dumpster Service (Pasadena) publishes the most terms: $450 to $550 for 15- to 30-yard bins with 14 days, 1.5 to 3.5 tons and $100 per extra ton, but every bin is 16 ft or longer. Yellow Dumpster Service (Elkridge) lists a shorter 12-ft 10-yard bin from $449 with 10 days and less weight per size. Eagle Transfer Services (Finksburg) names Arbutus streets and offers up to 40 yards but publishes no prices.

Your local checklist

File Baltimore County's dumpster Use Permit ($100, with a site plan) before delivery, and plan the bin on your lot; the County does not allow dumpsters in the roadway.
Measure the driveway: Residential Dumpster Service bins run 16 to 18.5 ft and Yellow's range from 12 to 18 ft, so ask for the shortest box that fits your Arbutus lot.
Ask the hauler whether its trucks carry a current Baltimore County collection-vehicle permit, and get the rental days, included tons and overweight rate in writing.

Arbutus dumpster: Baltimore County Use Permit, on your lot only, $100

Because Arbutus is unincorporated, Baltimore County's zoning office handles temporary dumpsters. The County requires a Use Permit for a dumpster on the property: an application, a site plan showing a spot that does not block traffic, sight distance or a neighbor, and a $100 fee, filed with the Zoning Review Office at 111 West Chesapeake Avenue, Room 124, Towson (410-887-3391, paizoning@baltimorecountymd.gov). The County does not allow a dumpster in the roadway. With an active building permit the bin may stay as long as that permit; otherwise the limit is 30 days under BCZR 500.4. Only material from that property may go in, no garbage or food, and the bin must not overflow. US 1 (Southwestern Boulevard) and Wilkens Avenue are State roads, so keep the bin and the delivery truck off their shoulders unless SHA District 4 says otherwise.

What matters locally

Western Acceptance Facility in Halethorpe is minutes from Arbutus

Baltimore County residents can take loads to the Western Acceptance Facility at 3310 Transway Road, Halethorpe (Monday to Saturday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.), which is the closest of the County's three drop-off centers to Arbutus. Residents get up to 10 free visits a year; after that, loads go to the Eastern Sanitary Landfill in White Marsh at a prorated $125 per ton. For a small garage or basement cleanout, a few trips to Transway Road can cost less than a bin. Questions go to 410-887-2000.

Two County bulk pickups a year, three items each

Single-family homes and town homes in Arbutus get two scheduled Baltimore County bulk collections a year, with up to three items each time and no call needed; items go out after 6 p.m. the night before. Appliances, furniture, mattresses, electronics and some fixtures such as sinks, toilets, bathtubs and rolled carpet are accepted, but nothing longer than 8 ft. Bulk items can also be dropped off free at all three County facilities. Anything beyond that, such as a full room of drywall and flooring, is roll-off work.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Arbutus.

Can the dumpster go on the street in front of my Arbutus house?

No. Baltimore County's dumpster Use Permit covers a bin placed on the property, and the County states that a dumpster may not be placed in the roadway. Apply with a site plan and the $100 fee; the bin can stay 30 days, or as long as an active building permit. US 1 and Wilkens Avenue are State roads, where SHA District 4 controls the right-of-way.

Where can I take a cleanout load myself instead of renting a bin?

The Western Acceptance Facility at 3310 Transway Road in Halethorpe is the nearest Baltimore County drop-off to Arbutus, open Monday to Saturday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Residents get 10 free visits a year, and bulk items are free there; once the visits are used up, loads go to the Eastern Sanitary Landfill at a prorated $125 per ton.
