Confirm the bulk request before moving items outside
Baltimore City offers scheduled residential bulk collection through 311. Ask which items are accepted and confirm the appointment and set-out instructions for the address before relying on that route.
For a whole-house clearance, list the furniture and boxed contents separately. A municipal bulk request does not include carrying a wardrobe down stairs or emptying a basement.
Check the actual drop-off site
DPW's Recycle Right tool lists residential centers and requires valid Baltimore City identification. Check the chosen site's current status before travelling: the tool currently marks Reedbird closed for renovation.
Construction and demolition debris has a narrower route through Quarantine Road Landfill or Northwest Transfer Station under the applicable small-hauler conditions. Confirm eligibility, material acceptance and charges before loading a vehicle.
Make the rowhouse access visible in the quote
Photograph the largest items, stair turns, basement exit and path to the loading point. Say whether dismantling is needed and whether a crew can use the rear alley without obstructing neighboring access.
For staged renovation work, show the truck approach and proposed container position. Baltimore requires permission for public right-of-way occupation; check the applicable approval before treating an empty curb as a delivery space.
Keep restricted products identifiable
DPW lists a separate residential household hazardous-waste collection route at Sisson Street. Check the current event guidance for paint, chemicals or garage products rather than including them in an ordinary mixed load.
If no Wasteonix price is listed, submit the address, material list, carrying work and deadline for manual assessment. Acceptance, access and collection timing still need confirmation.
