recycling

The Authority works closely with its member jurisdictions to develop and execute programs designed to increase residential and commercial recycling. We provide a full range of recycling services designed to increase recycling and reduce waste. Our services include program planning and development, budget analyses, contracting with materials recovery facilities (MRFs), technical guidance, developing collection programs, market analyses, education and training and public information programs.

The Authority also runs the mdrecycles.org website to help encourage businesses to recycle.  On mdrecycles.org, you’ll discover which materials are recyclable, find companies that will pick up recyclable material, and learn how to reduce your waste management costs while helping to create a cleaner environment for all of us.
