What clients say about Northwest Transfer Station in Old Baltimore (MD)

I understand why the city is so trashy, the place is a mess (trash is trash). they won't take yard waist .... ridiculous

The attendant was ridiculously rude. The 1st gentleman when you first come in was very pleasant. But that man in the back was so rude. His attitude was completely unnecessary. He acted like I come to the dump everyday and should just know what to do or where to go. He had such an attitude because he had to instruct me on what to do. Like he was irritated that he had to do his job. It's really disappointing that something as simple as going to the dump has to be a horrible experience.

The city dump is awesome. I recently had a chance to visit the landfill on burns crossing rd., that place is dulling a phenomenal job .

I see why the county keeps their foot in first place. They do not discriminate. Trash is trash. The city dump is a mess. All of them are horrible. Unbelievablely horrible. Pay taxes to put up with bull crap all over the city.

This place is unbelievable. Worst place ever. Waiting an hour and was 4th in line. Had to pay $20 because my trash was above pick up truck bed line. DO NOT GO HERE. What do we pay taxes for? Lady at window was polite taking my $20.

Almost an hour waiting to PAY the city to take some rotten wood. Not even a full truck’s worth, and it’s a short bed pickup truck. In an HOUR, we moved ahead ONE car length. Gave up and went home. This was after going to Sisson, who said they wouldn’t take it. I would never illegally dump, but if people are inclined to, this place makes it so much more likely. What’s WRONG with the way it’s run??

I was calling several times like for 50 minutes but they never pick the fhone take me over 1 hour to dump I arrived 1:30 now it’s 2:30 12/27/2021. All time when I dumped it’s not to slow like today 3/29/2024 ,130 minutes to dump I don’t understand why this place take to longer to reopen

I am not sure who manages this site but it is run poorly. Makes little business sense to sit for 45 minutes and move two car lengths. If you want to drop illegal dumping you need to make this process easier.

I drop off my recycling, compost, and clothing donations (Helpsy) often. If you’re in a car doing recycling or compost drop off you don’t have to wait in the long lines.

There is little in the way of customer- facing communication between team members; The phone rang and no one answered when I wanted to call to get information about what to expect. The individual who was in the weigh station and fees booth, CC, was helpful in that she gave me a quick rundown of how the place operates (first time visitor).

There seems to have been a very positive upgrade of personnel recently. At least my recent interactions have been consistently much better than in the past. The workers at the cans seem to care more universally about proper refuge separation too-a plus for the environment and economy. 👍🏿

I recommend getting there when they open. At all other times of the day, there is a line around the block. The cost to dump was $67.50 per ton, $20 minimum, Cash Only. They did not require a permit from me to dump construction trash from my own house. The staff was pleasant and helpful, though the facilities are inadequate for the traffic they are getting.

Everyone who works there was so nice and helpful! I was so scared of getting lost and their patience with me was a blessing! Shout to Ms. Dolores at the gate! She is efficient and so kind getting people in!

Didn't have to wait in line to drop off recyclables. If I had bulk items, the wait would have been very long. Employees were helpful and courteous.
Jun 03, 2022 -
This place used to be very efficient now almost 3 hours in line and not moving anywhere. Same situation yesterday.

Mayor Scott needs to improve services at the NWTS. I did not believe how bad the wait time was here. I've been waiting over two hours in line and haven't reached the entrance yet. Traffic is backed up on Wabash avenue reducing the westbound lanes to two lanes. Some drivers in their vehicles had parked on the train tracks. I cannot believe the mayor doesn't know about this problem. Fix it Mr. Mayor. !!!!

This place is sad. The employees don’t care. I have a trash Removal company in Baltimore. I can honestly say. This place makes it hard to stay in business. Today was the breaking point!! Waited in line for an hour just to get turned around at the door and say it’s cut off time. They let every truck in front go but told the last four no (includes myself). If you close at 5 don’t let anyone in. But to let others in and cut off the line!! I see why the city is filled with trash!! Employees are rude, unprofessional. I recommend the county any day. You will have to pay a little more but hey. It’s worth it. Sad part is, this will not change with this facility!! They need new management ASAP!! It’s no way you should have to wait in line for hours just to dump one truckload!!! They always have excuses about cans. when In reality everybody’s always half assign. Four years ago this place was the best place to come!!

I came here last Saturday to drop off two separate pick-up loads of yard waste and I had a surprisingly pleasant experience. That was on a Saturday afternoon and I really didn’t have to wait in line at all. And all of the staff that I interacted with was pleasant and helpful. overall, it was very convenient and easy. And they didn’t charge me anything either. My loads were basically level with the bed of the truck but my second load was definitely a little higher than that but strapped down. My yard waste was loose and not bagged. However, that was Saturday and today is Monday. There are currently about 10 to 15 pick-up trucks in front of me filled with junk and I have been here for 10-15 minutes or so and the line is yet to move. I read about this in other reviews and I guess it really depends what day and time you come. It is currently 11:30 AM on Monday which I am learning is not a good time to come. :-)

Great place to dump your stuff! Don't show up in a uhaul or other commercial rental, they won't let you in. If you're not in a pick up truck you can skip the line by going in on the left side. Best way is to enter from Wabash Ave by turning onto Wabash Ave.

I will never go here again. Please do better. I was in line for 45 minutes, people were stealing items from the back of my truck. Never thought you'd need security at a landfill.

I called 311 and was directed to take my load to Sisson St. They said they don't accept trailers. They sent me to Garrison Blvd and Reistertown rd. Upon arrival their, after a 30 minute wait in line I was told that they don't accept trailers either. I was told to go to quarantine Rd. Let's just say I was not a happy camper. I drove from Hamilton to Remington and then to Arlington. Time and money wasted. But I understand. If a person doesn't know they just don't know. More training is needed for some of the workers. Maybe some additional information can be added to the website for those that go there first. Normally I have no problem but normally I don't have access to the trailer.

Small but good scrapyard. Good,nice employees. Convenient location and pretty easy to find. VERY busy in morning. Usually, a long line waiting for them to open. Best prices for your scrap metals. About $25 a truckload for dumping. We have a long bed truck. Thank you for reading! Good luck!!

They are great for dumping unwanted household,construction,garbage,and even tires, but I wouldn't trust them to recycle. I've been there many times and was told to just toss my recycling into the dumpsters along with the garbage and construction waste. I was devastated! Perhaps things have changed since the months that I've been there?
Oct 05, 2020 -
The workers are very friendly/ cool and they do their best to get us in and out, ain't nothing to complain about.

There was one gentleman there, who was very helpful. I was struggling to get my recycling in the dumpster. He gave me a hand putting the the things I was having trouble with, I should have asked name. Because he went above and beyond, while others just watch you struggle. You know who you are and thanks for the help again.

The best time is to go when they first open. It was in and out. They need more signs to say where to go after you show your ID. If you go later you will have to wait but it is still nice to dump so close to your residence.
Dec 07, 2019 -
If you get there end of the day, after a working day and 30 minutes before close. They gonna say it’s full of garbage and you go back home with it. It’s Saturday for me. Now I have to pay rental truck until Monday! So think about the closing time should be 4:00pm
Jul 06, 2019 -
Yes, there is usually a few minutes wait because of the number of vehicles there which is a good thing. Yes, you have to show ID because the site is for residents in the area. The staff is friendly and will help with your load if they see you need assistance.
