Cecil County's Recycling & Environmental Programs are managed by the Department of Public WorksSolid Waste Management Division. Part of our environmental programs is recycling which was instituted in 1990 after the Maryland Recycling Act was passed which requires all Maryland Counties to recycle a specified amount of their waste.
As a whole, our environmental programs' goal is to recycle materials and/or remove specific materials, such as household hazardous wastes, from the waste stream thereby benefiting our environment.
Environmental & Recycling programs save valuable landfill space, remove contaminants from the waste stream, generate revenue to support our programs, and assist our Department of Public Works to fulfill its mission to contribute to the health, safety, and quality of life of Cecil County residents.
