Moving to Silver Spring: who to call and what the city asks.

Silver Spring is a census-designated place in southeastern Montgomery County, Maryland, near Washington, D.C. The Silver Spring Urban District provides enhanced services to the downtown Central Business District, including streetscape maintenance, walkway repairs and tree maintenance. The Silver Spring Regional Area covers the area south of the Beltway out to Four Corners, east to the Prince George's County line, south to the Washington D.C. border, and west to Rock Creek Park. The Flash Orange Route runs along Colesville Road and Columbia Pike (US 29) from the Silver Spring Transit Center.

Residential Parking Permits and the Division of Parking Management

Collection District trash, dual-stream recycling and bulk pickup

Trash collection by County-contracted collectors goes to households in the Collection District, which is primarily in the southern part of the county. The county has a collection day lookup on its trash and recycling page.

Montgomery County runs a dual-stream recycling program for single-family homes and townhomes that receive County-provided recycling collection. Paper and cardboard go in the blue wheeled cart, and bottles, jars, cans and containers go in the blue bin.

Each residential property receiving County-provided trash collection gets 5 bulk trash collections per calendar year, scheduled in advance through the County online form or by calling 311. Residents with private or subscription trash service, through an individual or a homeowner or community association contract, are not eligible for County bulk trash service.
