Four Locations Make Composting Easy — and Free
July 1, 2026
Rockville offers four food scraps drop-off locations to make composting easy, keeping valuable materials out of landfills and helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The sites are located at:
- Maintenance Facility, 4625 Rothgeb Drive.
- Potomac Woods Park, 1380 Stratton Drive.
- Twinbrook Community Recreation Center, 12920 Twinbrook Parkway.
- Rockville Senior Center, 1150 Carnation Drive.
Food scraps are picked up weekly by a commercial contractor and delivered to the Prince George’s County Organics Composting Facility.
How to Use the Drop-Offs:
Place food scraps in a container. Empty coffee containers with sealing lids are great for this. Remove any plastic or other trash.
Bring full containers and empty them into the designated green bins at one of the drop-offs. Follow the signs when arriving. The sites are accessible 24/7 and the service is free.
Rinse containers and repeat.
