SALISBURY, Md. – Salisbury residents have an opportunity to dispose of large household items at no charge during a special collection week scheduled for March 16-20, 2026. The city requires advance registration, with a deadline of noon on Friday, March 13.
Homeowners interested in participating should contact the Department of Field Operations at 410-548-3177 to arrange their pickup. Callers need to mention they want the complimentary bulk collection service for the March 16 week and provide their regular garbage pickup day. The city warns that late requests may not be fulfilled.
Residents who encounter voicemail should leave a complete message with their full name, contact number, home address, regular collection day, and a description of items requiring pickup.
The program includes several restrictions:
- Maximum of three large items per household.
- Items containing fabric, including mattresses and box springs, require plastic wrapping secured with tape.
- The service excludes appliances and building materials such as lumber, bathroom fixtures, toilets, and playground equipment.
- Apartment and condominium complexes must handle their own bulk disposal as city services don’t cover multi-unit buildings.
- Large items cannot go in regular trash or recycling containers.
- All materials must be placed at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on the resident’s normal collection day, with overnight placement recommended.
Questions about the program can be directed to the Department of Field Operations at 410-548-3177.
