Single stream recycling makes your goal of diverting waste from the landfill easy for all by allowing one large bin to accommodate all of your paper, cardboard, plastic and aluminum in. Make sure your container is large enough to accommodate all single stream recyclables (paper, cardboard, soda cans, plastic bottles, plastic jugs, yogurt cups, cereal boxes, clean aluminum foil and pie plates, paper milk and juice cartons, mail, greeting cards, empty aerosol cans, plastic bags, plastic lids and caps, plastic toys and plastic buckets)

As a leader in waste management, we promote diversity in waste and recycling services to support the environmental movement to save our planet through:

• Reducing waste in landfills
• Re-purposing useful items to create something entirely different out of them
• Recycling waste products and materials into a new raw material to produce other products
• Recovering items such as C&D, paper, scrap metal, wood and plastic out of the traditional waste streams

Our History

In 1961 Bates Trucking’s founder, John Bates, Sr., started collecting garbage in Prince George’s County, Maryland as a private subscription business. He and his wife, Dorothy, went house to house signing up customers and picking up trash and garbage using an open-back trash truck.During the 1970’s four of the five Bates children worked for the company. Bates, Sr., was able to purchase two additional trash trucks, to continue growing his family-owned small business. Bruce Bates took control of the company in the late 1980’s and aggressively established an impressive fleet of trucks, expanding and diversifying the business services to include a large residential and recycling foundation, as well as commercial and government services. Today, Bates Trucking has three (3) locations, serving Prince George’s, Montgomery, Anne Arundel and Queen Anne’s Counties, MD, Northern VA, and the District of Columbia.

Despite all of the changes, one thing has remained the same: We are still a family owned company, committed to providing our customers with the best service and pricing in the industry.Currently Bates Trucking has more than 200 employees that make up their team of skilled, conscientious professionals with an average of seven (7) years experience in the waste management industry. Our senior managers average more than fifteen (15) years of service in the industry.
