Montgomery County's Department of Environmental Protection publishes its collection routes as a map: each route area carries a fixed weekday for recycling and yard trim, and some areas also carry a County trash day; the lookup reads the route areas for your address.

Trash, recycling and yard waste are collected weekly. County trash collection covers Subdistrict A only; where no trash day is shown the County does not collect trash at this address and the household or its HOA contracts a private hauler. Multi-unit buildings of more than six dwellings are not on County collection even inside a route.

We last checked Germantown on October 31, 2026: all 8 sampled Germantown homes returned their recycling and yard trim days from the County's routes, and none of them is in the County's trash Subdistrict A, so none got a trash day. An earlier check, on September 17, 2026, also returned a day at all 8.

Montgomery County MD Department of Environmental Protection publishes recycling and yard waste days for Germantown, and County trash days only in its Subdistrict A; this page last read them on November 2, 2026. Missed recycling and yard trim pickups go to the County; a household outside Subdistrict A, or its HOA, hires a private hauler, which sets the trash day and takes trash questions. This page does not take missed-pickup reports or post service alerts.
