Contact the DHOA Office, 301-845-2050 with any collection or disposal issues.

Trash pick-up:  

Tuesdays and Fridays mornings

Recycle pick-up:   New Map with colors 

Alternating Mondays for homes north of Stauffer. (yellow)

Alternating Tuesdays for homes south of Stauffer. (pink)

In addition to paying for the service of having a truck and sanitation workers come to our homes and remove our trash, DHOA also must pay Frederick County per ton of trash that the contractor dumps at the county transfer station. These are called tipping fees and it is the largest line item in our budget. To reduce our tipping fees, please remember to recycle!

To help keep our neighborhood looking beautiful, please do not put trash and recycle containers out before 6 pm Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays for pick-up the following morning. Please bring in your containers back in as soon as possible after pick-up.
