Trash & Recycling Container Information
If you need an additional trash or recycling container, additional containers are available for $15 per container, per month. The initial billing would be prorated through June 30th and paid directly to the Town, since trash fees are included in the annual property tax bill issued by Cecil County each July and cannot be amended mid-fiscal year.
​
Containers are available in three sizes: 96, 65, and 35 gallons.
​
Additionally, if your current container is damaged and needs to be replaced, replacements are provided at no additional cost.
​
To request an additional container or a replacement for a damaged container, please contact Mary Culver at 410-378-2121 or mculver@portdeposit.org.
