Recycling Programs  

Cecil County's Recycling & Environmental Programs are managed by the Department of Public Works Solid Waste Management Division. Our recycling program was instituted in 1990 after the Maryland Recycling Act was passed which requires all Maryland Counties to recycle a specified amount of their waste.  The Solid Waste Management Division currently manages many recycling and environmental programs and events. These programs save valuable landfill space, generate revenue to support our environmental programs, and assist our Department of Public Works to fulfill our mission to contribute to the health, safety, and quality of life of Cecil County residents.
