Compost Site Summer Hours Begin Wednesday, April 4
With spring clean up time and the start of the gardening season, for the convenience of Allegany County residents, the Allegany County Compost Site will start summer hours of operation on April 4, the first Wednesday in April. The compost site will be open five days per week, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Allegany County Government’s compost site is located at 11700 PPG Road in the North Branch Industrial Park (off of MD Route 51 South, across from the former PPG Plant).

Allegany County residents may drop off grass, leaves, brush, tree and limbs 4 inches or less in diameter at the compost site. They may also take, free of charge, composted mulch. Allegany County Government’s website, www.gov.allconet.org, has extensive recycling information. Recycling questions may be directed to Terry A. Bennett, Recycling Coordinator in the Allegany County Department of Public Works, 301-777-5933 X 210, terry.bennett@allconet.org.

Residential Refuse Tag System

Allegany County Government has a residential/household refuge disposal tag system. A refuse tag must be attached to every item to be discarded. As previously announced, beginning January 1, 2012, the cost of one refuse tag will increase from $0.50 to $ 0.75. This is the first increase since 2002. The refuse tag colors are different: $0.75 is bright green and $0.50 is orange. The $0.50 refuse tags may continue to be utilized in appropriate increments. For example, if two $0.75 refuse tags are required for an item, three $0.50 refuse tags may be utilized. Read More
