Maryland Recycling Act Reporting

The Maryland Recycling Act (MRA) requires Allegany County to divert at least 20% of its solid waste to recycling programs.  All counties must report their recycling tonnages to the Maryland Department of the Environment for review and approval.  Last year Allegany County’s recycling rate was 31.83%.  With your support in recycling, we hope to again achieve or exceed this rate.

It is very important that we are aware of any materials your company may be diverting from the landfill in the form of recycling or secondary use in the calendar year 2011.   Please complete the enclosed form and mail or fax to our office by April 1, 2013.

The information from this survey will be summarized and published on the County website to inform citizens of the dedicated recycling activity in Allegany County.

Thank you very much for your time and participation. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
