Community Clean Up Regulations

Dumpster Day

Have some broken items lying around the house that are no longer usable?  Get rid of them at RCA’s annual Dumpster Day!  Dumpsters will be available once a year as part of Baltimore County’s Community Clean-Up Program on White Oak Avenue next to Ridgeleigh Park.

Have usable items that are just taking up space? 

If you are handicapped, disabled, or elderly and need assistance, please contact president@ridgeleigh.net  in order for a volunteer to pick up your trash or donations.
