Large items go to the Harford Waste Disposal Center at 3241 Scarboro Road for a tipping fee, or to a hauler's bulk pickup. Dumping them instead is a crime under Md. Code, Criminal Law §10-110, up to $1,500 for the smallest loads.
Bulky waste in Harford County is handled through drop-off or hauler pickup, not a free curbside service. Residents haul mattresses, furniture, appliances, tires, and construction debris to the Harford Waste Disposal Center at 3241 Scarboro Road in Street, open Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., where per-ton and per-item tipping fees apply. Licensed haulers also offer scheduled bulk pickups. Dumping bulky items on a roadside, vacant lot, or private property instead is illegal statewide: Md. Code, Criminal Law §10-110 makes it a misdemeanor, graded by weight and volume, and the smallest tier already carries up to a $1,500 fine and 30 days.
Illegal dumping under Md. Code, Criminal Law §10-110 runs from up to $1,500 and 30 days for under 100 pounds, to $12,500 for mid-size loads, to $30,000 and five years for over 500 pounds or dumping for profit.
