What clients say about Eastern Sanitary Landfill Solid Waste Management Facility in White Marsh (MD)
At this garbage dump they don't accept a normal personal ID, they only ask for a driver's license, but unfortunately some people don't have a driver's license and only have an identification ID, and the person who attends at the window is very rude and offensive.
If you go on website it tells you that Dundalk residents can drop off up to 6 times per year. Yes, the gates say they close at 3:15 because that's when they take the last car and they close at 3:30. Nothing misleading and didn't probably didn't answer your bc 1 he's a jerk but bc the info you asked for is readily available online. I hope that answers y'all's questions
Hours on Google is wrong. It says closed at 4pm. But the sign on the gate says 3:15pm. Google is misleading and wasted my time!
Otherwise, the facility is good. I have no issues every time when I need to take things there.
the lady at the gate was as rude as you can get, and this is a a county employee. Very rude, should NOT have this position with such a BAD ATTITUDE. Visited 9/23 25
I called to make sure that I could dump in time. The operator said They are open until 4 PM and would have to have my car out of there by then. I showed up and they had changed it to 3:15. The gates were closed.
I went today and found out there’s a new policy — now everyone has to go on the scale, even residents in pick-up. We had a lot of recycling and yard waste to drop off, so we just went along with it. It’s different, but I guess it is what it is.
I’m not a fan of having to drive up the hill in the rain, especially with a truck, but again, that’s just how they do it.
Thankfully, we usually only need to go once or twice a year. I’ll make sure to get everything ready for the community cleanup so I can avoid another trip to the dump.
This place use to be great but the people on the scale house retired and now they have worthless employees in there. The lines are the worst I have seen in almost 30 years of going there. The one guy in there to busy on the cell phone with ear buds in and playing with his painted nails while we wait in lines forever.
I went there today and I greeted the guy who was checking my driver's license. He didn't say anything. After he checked my driver's license, I asked him how many times a year, residents can use the facility for free. He heard me but refused to say a word and pointed me to go forward. I asked him one more time but he kept pointing me to move forward. There wasn't any one behind me but he didn't want to answer and wanted me to keep going.
Does any supervisor read this review?
I doubt about it.
A bunch of wanna be tough guys. Gonna yell at me for something, but when I ask why he's yelling and to explain him/herself they start yelling more. Just a bunch of weak minded individuals.
As of 4/5/25, Google lists the landfill as open until 3:30pm, but it is only open until 3:15pm. If you arrive even a minute late, you will be turned away. Hopefully they can get the Google hours updated soon.
Their new policy if you have a pick up truck and a small trailer, they’re gonna charge you as commercial even if you’re a Baltimore County resident So even if the stuff doesn’t fit in the bed of your truck, you can’t take a trailer unless you want to be charged and they don’t charge you a resident price they charge you to commercial price it cost me $30 to get rid of two old dressers, a table and a chair It’s a bit ridiculous. My sister pays less in Harford County.
I grew up in the Chase area then moved to Essex area and never new this landfill was here. It was easy in easy out just to take a load from aresidential residence.
They need to update their hours regularly online. I checked online and it showed they were closing at 3.30pm. I got there day before Thxgiving 2024 and the hours were updated to 3.15pm. What a waste of my time. I got there at 3.17pm and the gate was shut. There were others behind me who also thought it closed at 3.30pm. Smh
Got to the dump at 3:12pm, website says dump closes at 3:30. Myself and the person in front of me and behind me all had tree brush. Landfill worker started closing gate as we all pulled up, turned us all away and proceeded to look at his watch and pretend that we all were late. Fix your website and do better.
Arrived there by 3:15 pm. Already Gate closed. They should wait gate until by 3.30 pm. Arrived there closed 3:15 pm again 2nd time. Waste gas for a trip and my time. It is WRONG. I saw other trucks come too. Their waste time. Better Warn people to come before 3 pm closed. Not true closed at 3:30 pm.
March 1st, 2023, the landfill is easy to use . You need a truck to dump out in the field. Cars can dump in the bins at the front. Friendly and helpful staff.
I go to the landfill to drop off construction debris from my house. The crew is nice and helpful and the process is really straightforward. One thing is if you're going to the landfill proper you'll probably want a vehicle with 4 wheel drive
I mean, it's a literal dump.
Workers can either be pretty helpful or miserable. Not entirely surprising, you don't work at a landfill because you have superb customer service skills.
Look up what you're taking before you go, because they either might not take it or you'll have to get weighed on the scale if they decide it is "construction materials" - I had scrap pieces of drywall and insulation mixed in with general trash and they made me weigh in. Cost is $100 per 2000 lbs, so it's not too bad.
I just tried to speak to a person at the landfill. Long message and not helpful.
Someone placed 6 2-gallon containers of used oil on Dunfield Road near Belair Road. I wanted to know that if I took the time to place the 6 heavy containers of oil in my car to take them to the landfill, would the Eastern Sanitary landfill take them. Well I guess I won't find out. I don't want them loitering the area. As a 77 year old woman who is willing to make an effort to keep the neighborhood free of this kind of littering, I am very dissappointed.
Visited for the first time today to drop off some old computer equipment for trash/recycling. Everyone I came in contact with was super nice and helpful. I do wish they had a few more signs instructing residents how the process works, but the employees were so nice it turned out to not be an issue, just a little awkward at first. They don't help you unload so be prepared to do it yourself. The nice thing is that the dumpster for the garbage is placed below the platform you park on so you don't have to lift anything above your shoulder level to throw it in there. I wish they had a little pull off or other place to park for some bird watching, so many interesting birds flying around!
Originally I started going here because I got tired of my own neighborhood recycling collectors skipping me! (1) It’s not that far from me (2) It makes me recycle ♻️ more (3) Now I take matters into my own hands so that my recycling efforts never get skipped again!!!! Love the staff and the location. Thanks folks….
The landfill is a great facility & easy to find. I went there with my mother to dispose of several boxes of old books, some old fluorescent light tubes, & other miscellaneous "stuff".
The only complaint I have about the landfill is that it isn't clear, when you get there, that you are expected to get in line for the requisite ID check then circle around, almost to the entrance to drop off most of the "normal" household recycle items.
However, even with that, we were leaving the landfill less than 20 minutes after we arrived.
Well done, Baltimore County!
Not a bad place to go if u have a Baltimore co Id or license it's free to dump 3 stars because depending on the time u go u might wait about 1 hour to dump 😠😠
Was turned away for being a Baltimore City resident. Asked to be weighed and pay to dump as I've done before but was denied because I'm not a county resident. Based on the information online I think the scale house staff was wrong to turn me away!
