Bowie moves solid waste collection to 6 a.m. starting June 29 | The Locally Times

The city is shifting collection times one hour earlier to protect sanitation crews from rising summer temperatures.

The previous start time was 7 a.m. ## Operational Changes The city implemented this schedule adjustment to assist solid waste crews in avoiding the peak heat of the day. The new 6 a.m. start time applies to both trash and recycling collection services. Residents may place their waste and recycling bins at the curb as early as 5 p.m. on the evening before their scheduled pickup. The city stated that this change is intended to support the safety and well-being of the collection teams. ## What to Watch Residents should adjust their routines to ensure bins are at the curb by the new 6 a.m. start time on their designated collection days. The city has not announced any further changes to waste management protocols as of June 25.
